""We all have zero, zero tolerance for what is happening and what's been happening in the Valley," said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass during a news conference Monday afternoon."
""I understand that when you're the victim of a burglary, all that matters is that your police department is doing all it takes to keep you safe," McDonnell said."
""Burglaries in the Valley Bureau for the year so far were down 48% when compared to last year," according to McDonnell."
""If we get pulled away for other crime problems, violent crime in particular, it would depend on how long the additional resources would remain in the area," McDonnell said."
The San Fernando Valley is experiencing a rise in home burglaries, prompting the deployment of more police patrols, mounted units, and air support. Mayor Karen Bass emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to crime and directed police to enhance patrols along Ventura Boulevard. Despite the recent spike, overall burglaries in the Valley are down 48% compared to last year. Police Chief Jim McDonnell announced the addition of specialized units and detectives, although the duration of these resources remains uncertain and may change based on other crime needs.
