Capt. Bill Moulder of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station is sitting down for an interview with WEHOville this week. If there’s something you’d like us to ask him, please tell us in a comment below!
In the meantime, read our Q&A with him from 2021.
UpClose: Lt. Bill Moulder, West Hollywood Sheriff’s Dept., Part 1
UpClose: Lt. Bill Moulder, West Hollywood Sheriff Dept. Part 2
What is the appropriate handcuffs size to be utilized upon Sepi’s eventual arrest and will she be granted a simple or challenging apprehension experience?
Why not more electric motorcycles in use? And why not more motorcycles in WeHo to respond quickly, through traffic, to a scene of need? Why not put License Plate Reading cameras on all main entrances into WeHo?
Most West Hollywood residents would appreciate increased traffic enforcement. A lot of drivers in West Hollywood blow through stop signs, since there’s little chance of receiving a citation for it.
If motorcycle deputies focus on traffic stops, do they mostly work 7am – 4pm, Monday through Thursday? What would it take to put more deputies on traffic enforcement?
On a scale of 1-10, how surprised is he that some current city council members actually got elected?
Additional question: Who instructed the department not to publish Part ! crimes as was done in the past and how can we get that published bi-weekly or monthly going forward?
Question for the captain: How do you keep moral up when our own city council doesn’t fully support law enforcement? You are trying to keep us safe and you have to fight for support from our local government.

Is the sheriffs department working on a plan to remedy this?
It is well worth revisiting the previous interview with Capt. Moulder. In that he remarks on Captain Ramirez who was on deck for the riots.

Since I observed many businesses on Sunset boarded up and extra security detail, an email to Paul Arevalo and John Heilman led to Capt. Ramirez. All in concert, mission accomplished. Later that day the buildings were protected and the National Guard was stationed… Read more »
How does he not bang his hear against the wall when he has to speak to Sepi, John or Byers.
My question to Captain Moulder is one of morale. In a city with a minority yet loud and vocal contingent blasting almost any action by the LASD, up to and including calls for complete abolition of all police, how does he maintain morale among his deputies?
How do you manage to keep your sanity when working with city council?
