Hi folks,

Crime stats are still unavailable from COMPSTAT, our usual source. Reason: a huge overhaul of LAPD’S digital crime reporting systems is still underway.

GOOD NEWS! We were still able to obtain this important information for our 3rd Quarter Crime Summary! Special CyberWatch thanks go to assistance from Captain Brent McGuyre, head of LAPD’s Harbor Division here in San Pedro.
Captain McGuyre was able to step in and have this data manually extracted. Result: CyberWatch can continue providing the Crime Summary to 643 CyberWatch members and the SSCA website.

So, there you have it folks. Lots goin’ on in our little corner of paradise last quarter!

It’s time now for all of us…working together…to tackle the
“elephant in the room”: SATG.

South Shores’ Role Now:

Keep CyberWatch’s 643 sets of eyes and ears wide open. Suspicious observation? Report it. See a crime being committed? Call 911 first.

Combine CyberWatch’s efforts with the vigilance of ALL South Shores residents through SSCA’s website. OBSERVE and REPORT.

Read yesterday’s CyberWatch Urgent Alert. It tells us what to observe and report…with pictures of the suspects and contact instructions.
Your copy got deleted or missing? Let us know…we’ll send you another. bob@cyberwatch22.org

Feed the information loop between CyberWatch and LAPD’s Burglary Division.
We’re fortunate to have Detective Tom Baran as our partner at the helm in the Burglary Division.
Detective Baran and CyberWatchers have partnered closely over the past 13 years. This duo has brought many local burglary criminals to justice. Other burglary gangs felt the heat and moved on after witnessing their crime buddies in the lock-up. Word on the street:”Hit South Shores? Too risky a target!”

Let’s all turn up the heat on SAGT and send these bad guys packing!
Let’s do this NOW!

Stay well, Be kind.
