When calling the Sheriff’s Station to report a problem

For emergencies always call 9-1-1.   For non-emergent calls for service, please call our business line at 310-510-0174.

Medical Calls—Please provide some basic information, i.e., the gender and age of the patient, if they are conscious, breathing, and how they were injured.

Non-Emergent Police Calls—Please provide some basic information about what has occurred and a basic description of the people involved.  If there are any weapons involved, please advise the dispatcher. This information is very important to deputies.  Note—a weapon can be a beer bottle, a pool cue, or a personal item such as a shoe.  The more information you can provide, the better we will be able to safely assist you.

Secondly, please don’t hesitate to call us at the first sign of a problem.  We would rather be proactive and handle a problem before it escalates into a dangerous or criminal matter.  Too many people say they didn’t want to bother us. You aren’t!  We appreciate the opportunity to intervene early and prevent a problem from escalating into an emergent situation.
