The Harvard Park Community Safety Advisory Council will celebrate five years of the Community Safety Partnership on Saturday, September 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Jackie Tatum Harvard Park, 1535 W. 62nd St., in Los Angeles.
Saying that Angelenos “don’t feel safe,” Rep. Karen Bass called for an increase in Los Angeles Police Department patrolpersonnel to reach already-authorized levels as part of her campaign for mayor.
We exist during a critical time in the history of this city and country. I was voted into office in 2015 behind our beliefs and strategies to improve the quality of life for residents in the Eighth District. For decades, our people, neighborhoods, streets and businesses have seen systemic disinvestment and neglect. District Eight is home to hundreds of thousands of residents with diverse needs, however we are connected by shared opportunities and challenges. During my first term in office, I prioritized equitable and transparent service delivery, quality jobs, safe streets and sustainable solutions to homelessness. As we stand at the intersection of past and future, I am confident in the positive direction our communities are headed.
Recently, Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson launched the expansion of the Community Safety Partnership in Harvard Park through a community celebration co-hosted with the American Heart Association.
The CSP project will be located at Jackie Tatum/Harvard Recreation Center, in a South Los Angeles neighborhood that has been devastated by homicides and violent crime
