Community: Amanda Bynes arrested on suspicion of Driving Under the Influence in Sherman Oaks.

Hi Nixle User,

On Sunday, September 28, 2014, at approximately 3:45 a.m., CHP officers observed a white Mercedes Benz GL 450 traveling west on Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks. The Mercedes SUV failed to stop at the limit line for a red tri-phase traffic signal at the intersection with Van Nuys Boulevard and instead stopped in the middle of the intersection. CHP officers initiated an enforcement stop and the subject vehicle immediately yielded to the right curb of north bound Van Nuys Boulevard, north of Riverside Drive. The driver, identified by her driver's license as Amanda Bynes, appeared to be under the influence. Officers administered a series of field sobriety tests, which she was unable to perform satisfactorilary.

CHP officers transported Ms. Bynes to the West Valley CHP office in Woodland Hills for further evaluation by a "DRE" officer (Drug Recognition Expert). Based on the observation of the officers who saw her driving and the subsequent evaluation, Ms. Bynes was arrested for 23152(e) VC - It is unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any drug to drive a vehicle.
Ms. Bynes was transported to LAPD Van Nuys Jail where she was booked at approximately 7:06 a.m. Ms. Bynes was cooperative during the entire process.


This incident is being handled by the CHP's West Valley Area. Further questions can be directed to Public Information Officer Leland Tang at (818) 888-0980.

CHP does not release booking photos. Requests for booking photos can be directed to the agency where an arrestee is booked

Community: Get to Know the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Malibu Search and #Rescue Team #LASD

Hi Nixle User,

Get to Know the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Malibu Search and Rescue Team

 

Vehicle over the side, natural disaster and injured hiker. These are every day terms in the life of a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Malibu Search and Rescue Team member.  Founded in 1977, the Malibu Search and Rescue (SAR) Team is one of eight teams within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. While there are hundreds of public and private rescue teams throughout the country, the Malibu SAR team is unique in that they are mostly all sworn reserve deputies with law enforcement capabilities. This provides them more resources and capabilities while enabling them to work seamlessly with other agencies when out in the field. Most commonly, the team works hand in hand with the LA County Fire Department, California Highway Patrol, and State and National Parks.

While the team consists of sworn reserve deputies and civilian volunteers and specialists, all members are volunteers who typically maintain full time jobs outside the department.  On call 24/7, members of the team are mentally and physically prepared to be summoned by the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department an average of 2-3 times per week.  Rescuing and retrieving injured hikers, vehicle occupants that have intentionally or accidentally driven off the side of the area’s many canyons, evacuating neighborhoods during fires and floods, rescuing stranded or injured hikers, and/or maintaining containments for suspects on the loose are typical calls for service for the team. Each member is specially trained to navigate the mountainous terrain that the average citizens and even deputies are unable to access.   Totaling roughly 90-125 rescue and recovery missions each year, the team plays a very active role within the Malibu/Lost Hills jurisdiction. 

The necessity of a Search and Rescue Team is apparent to anyone who has driven through the Lost Hills area. Hiking trails, camp grounds, rock pools, rock climbing, beach access, as well as the miles of canyon roads to get to these attractions create the potential for many different mishaps or injuries that require the abilities of the SAR team.  Team members are extremely familiar with the 187 miles of Santa Monica Mountain area that run through the Malibu/Lost Hills jurisdiction, a knowledge base that is invaluable to the Sheriff’s Department and its community.  It is imperative that the team is comprised of highly skilled and specialized individuals.  Malibu SAR team members are all trained in medical and triage situations; all are EMT trained, and some are even doctors and nurses and are able to lend their expertise while in the field.

As soon as the 9-1-1 dispatch center at the Malibu/Lost hills Sheriff’s Station determines that the search and rescue team is needed, a page is sent to all team members. Anyone who is available is expected to respond, which they coordinate amongst themselves. While they may need to meet in the station parking lot for certain responses, most calls for service require them to respond straight to the scene of incident. Because of this, all of the basic and necessary equipment is kept in personal vehicles so that they are able to respond in the quickest way possible and without stopping to pick up additional equipment. At the direction of the Sheriff’s Department, the team can be sent to any location within the LASD jurisdiction to assist other teams.

To become a Reserve Deputy, you must be at least 21 years of age, and be a U.S. Citizen. You must also submit an application, pass a background check, pass a psychological exam, and complete the law enforcement academy.  Once applicants complete the academy, they will be trained by the search and rescue team.  Team training includes rescue rope systems, rappelling, climbing, snow and ice operations, swift water operations, helicopter operations, wild-land fire operations, search operations, interface with other emergency service providers, and navigation and area intelligence.  In addition, all team members must obtain and retain a minimum medical training to the level of an EMT. Expect to volunteer about 20 hours of service, which includes training and call-outs.

The team primarily relies on private donations to supply the equipment that the county does not cover. 100% of funds donated go towards equipment, and the team appreciates donations of any amount.

For any questions, please email the team’s captain at captain@malibusar.org

For an appointment to submit an application, contact the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department Reserve Coordinator's office at (818) 878-1808 during regular business hours. For more detailed information on the team, please visit www.MalibuSAR.org.  You can also follow Malibu SAR on Facebook at Malibu Search and Rescue and on Twitter @Malibusar.

Hi Nixle User,

#LASD - DON’T LET YOUR MEDICATIONS GO DOWN THE DRAIN, National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day 2014
 
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will participate in the ninth and final Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, September 27, 2014, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.  The Sheriff’s Department encourages members of the community to take their expired, unneeded, or unwanted prescription drugs to any Safe Drug Drop-Off box located outside Los Angeles County Sheriff’s patrol stations. This is an opportunity for residents to dispose of their medications safely without harming the environment or falling into the wrong hands.  Only pills can be brought to the collection sites this Saturday.
 
In September of 2009 the new “Safe Drug Drop-Off” Program was first introduced at Lomita Sheriff’s Station.  This program was developed to provide a unique opportunity for residents to safely and anonymously drop-off expired or unused prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, syringes (sharps), and any other controlled substances.  Five years later the program continues to be successful and has expanded. Now there are 21 Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Stations participating in the “Safe Drug Drop-Off” Program. 
 
The drug disposal drop boxes are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year in front of the following stations:

Hi Nixle User,

Topanga Looking for Resident Input on Neighborhood Concerns to Help Aide Sheriff's Department

 

 

The Topanga Town Council recently posted a survey on the OneTopanga website and is asking local residents to visit the site and complete the short questionnaire.  The survey consists of seven questions that all relate to the perceived safety of Topanga neighborhoods and resident satisfaction with the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station.  Responses are monitored and evaluated by the Sheriff's Department and are used to help supervisors make informed decisions in regards to effectively utilizing deputies in the area.  The Malibu/Lost Hills Station is using this survey to identify possible problem areas and issues in the community and brainstorm on how to deter and solve crime in these area.  Getting information directly from the residents of the Topanga area helps deputies to better respond to actual needs and concerns of the citizens.

This survey should take less than five minutes to complete but will provide valuable information to the Sheriff's Department.  If you live in the Topanga Canyon area, please visit www.OneTopanga.com and click on the survey link located in the center of the page.
