What has your experience been with the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station? The City of West Hollywood is seeking input from local residents and business owners to gauge their satisfaction.
The city spends roughly $18 million a year to contract with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department to provide local public safety services.
Feedback from the short online survey, in addition to input collected from telephone and in-person surveys, focus groups, a community meeting and stakeholder interviews will help the city improve services to better meet the needs of the community.
The survey takes less than five minutes and can be completed until Monday by clicking on this link.
For more information, please contact the City of West Hollywood’s Public Safety Department at (323) 848-6414, or by email at psd@weho.org.
We need our own Police Department, WHPD!! $18 million is actually very little spent compared to Beverly Hills with same population but larger land mass then WEHO. We have too much going on to spend so little on police.

I insisted that I do (my driver’s license says so, my Weho rent controlled lease says so, my voter registration/polling place says so, the NO PARKING/9R Zone sign in front of my building says… Read more »
i totally agree with cy’s last two sentences. people should police themselves.

The new Sheriff’s Capt. Holly Perez is a step in the right direction but, stops short of the left direction that would be more helpful in addressing issues of public safety in West Hollywood and, serve as a model for the rest of the country to follow. Way back in 2014 I put up a posting on Google+ in support of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s… Read more »
I wonder if that 18,000,000 is broken down for the City Budget? It would be interesting to see how it’s spent vs the crime, lack of visibility and continued muggings (gay and otherwise).
