Tuesday December 6, 2016, 11:26 AM LASD - Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept Information Bureau (SIB) Advisory: #LASD Heightened State of Awareness on Transit System - If You See Something, Say Something Dear Pepperdine Libboard, All Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) personnel are maintaining a heightened state of situational awareness and remain vigilant after uncorroborated threats were made to the LA County mass transit system. The LASD is the contracted policing agency for LA Metro.   Today you will see an increased visible sheriff’s deputy presence. Metro passengers may have their bags checked. Our LASD K-9 detection teams are deployed, especially at transit stations.  However, what you DON’T see is just as important as what you do see.  We will have undercover operations underway as well.  Special Weapons, Bomb Squad and Hazardous Materials Teams are forward-deployed. We have a team embedded with the regional Joint Terrorism Taskforce.   The LASD’s Special Operations Division, Transit Policing Division, and concerned North Patrol Division stations are in direct contact with the LASD Criminal Intelligence Bureau in focusing on counter terrorism and enhanced public safety efforts.  The Emergency Operations Bureau and Department Operations Center are also monitoring for any potential new information or developments,   If You See Something, Say Something.  Information can be reported using the iWatchLA APP or by using the iWatchLA Website at the following link: http://www.lapdonline.org/iwatchla.   LA Crime Stoppers is another available option.  Partner to prevent or report crime by contacting your local sheriff’s station or if you wish to remain Anonymous, call LA Crime Stoppers by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477), use your smartphone by downloading the “P3 Tips” mobile app for FREE or “P3 Mobile” for the hearing impaired, or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.       Forwarded by: Grace Medrano, Deputy Sheriff's Information Bureau - Newsroom Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Hall of Justice – First Floor 211 W.
