Crime Prevention at Park La BreaWe are each the Individual Guardians of our community and we must work collectively to safeguard our community for the benefit of our families, our neighbors and the community as a whole.
Park La Brea is a garden-like oasis within the City of Los Angeles but our larger community is not Crime Free. Robbery, Car Theft, Theft of Property from vehicles and Burglary are all daily occurrences. We in Park La Brea cannot escape this unfortunate situation but we can collectively do things to minimize it.
We can “Harden the Target” and thereby make criminal activity less attractive at Park La Brea. Each of us must ensure the physical security of our residence and if we have a vehicle on property both the integrity of the vehicle and its contents must be protected.
We must each become the “Eyes and Ears” of the community. We must literally be our Neighbors Keeper.
• If an Emergency or Criminal Act occurs Call 911 immediately.
• For all other concerns (such as noise pollution; animal control; unsafe child play; garbage dumping; etc ...) Call Patrol (323) 549-5508.
If we all work together in the spirit of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” Park La Brea can become the Safe and Secure community we all want it to be.

PLB Management wishes to remind pet owners and residents with service animals and companion animals of some basic rules. Our goal is to provide all of our residents with a Clean and Comfortable living experience. We ask all residents to respect the Quiet Enjoyment of others, our property and landscape. Park La Brea has areas on the property with designated “Dog Parks” in Blocks 10, 18, 19 and 31. Animals can run and play in these areas. We remind everyone that dogs must be on a leash at all other times. All dogs must wear Park La Brea
Identification Tags. Owners have agreed to immediately pick up all waste and litter. Our Patrol Officers are out on the property daily and are here to help identify and monitor rule violations. Please feel free to contact our officers if you notice a violation or have a question or concern.
