PATROL DUTIES
Patrol is the backbone of the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station.
Responding to everything from armed robberies to noisy animals,
large fights to traffic collisions... You can rest assured that when
you call 911 in West Hollywood, Sheriff's Deputies are on their way!
While in West Hollywood, you may see patrol Deputies working in
cars, on footbeats, on motorcycles, on bicycles, and occasionally
even on horseback for special events. We have Deputies that are
specially trained in hate crime investigations, domestic violence,
Russian community affairs, gay and lesbian issues, transgender
issues, and more.
We are proud that our experience and our Deputies
are as diverse as the community we serve.
Bike Team
Formed in the early 1980's, the West Hollywood Sheriff's Bike Team
was the first bicycle patrol team fielded by the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department. Consisting of 10 Deputies and 1 Sergeant, West
Hollywood Station currently has the largest bicycle patrol unit in
operation within the County's twenty-one Sheriff's stations.
The West Hollywood Bike Team deputies handle all the same police
functions as regular patrol deputies, only on bikes! These specially
trained deputies have proven to be highly mobile, easily
approachable, and have helped to build new bridges between the
Sheriff's Department and the community.
Able to work hand in hand with neighborhood citizens, the Bike Team
provides a unique opportunity for West Hollywood residents and
Sheriff's Deputies to work together for a safer, supportive
community.
Please feel free to stop any Deputy you see on the streets for
assistance, or simply to say hi.
Universal CityWalk Substation:
Universal City is a one square mile island of unincorporated Los
Angeles County, surrounded by the City of Los Angeles. It contains
an entertainment theme park (Universal Studios-Hollywood), a
complete motion picture and television production studio complex, a
six thousand five hundred seat Amphitheater (Universal
Amphitheater), an eighteen screen cinema (Universal Studios
Cinemas), and a large restaurant and shopping district theme mall (CityWalk).
The average daily population is approximately fifty thousand. The
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department provides law enforcement
services to Universal City from a Sub-Station located within the
CityWalk Theme Mall.
The Sub Station was established in the summer of 1991. Before 1991
all calls for service were handled by West Hollywood city units
being dispatched to Universal. From the summer of 1991 to the summer
of 1993 the Sub Station was operated out of a trailer located in the
parking lot of the studio tour.
When the theme mall opened, the
substation was moved to its permanent location on the CityWalk.
Staffing for the substation consists of 1-Lieutenant, 2-Sergeants,
1-Detective, 1-Team leader, 12 Deputies and is manned 24 hours a day
by Deputy and Security personnel.
