LA COUNTY SHERIFF’S CRIME REPORTS
The City’s crime statistics are provided by the Los Angeles
County Sheriff’s Department (LASD); the city does not
generate its own reports. To ensure accuracy, crimes that
are still under active investigation may not appear in the
City Blue Newsletters, which can result in a delay
between when an incident occurs and when it is
reflected in published reports. If a crime is not reported, it
may still be under investigation or involve an active
victim. The LASD is committed to the safety of our
community and acts swiftly whenever there is an
immediate threat. For questions about a specific incident,
residents may contact the Sheriff’s non-emergency line
at 310-539-1661. Please note that, for confidentiality
reasons, not all details may be disclosed. Residents
seeking crime data can visit the Crime Stats Dashboard:
https://bit.ly/LASD-CrimeStats (Under the
Transparency tab). While the information
may be delayed, it is publicly accessible for
review.

SAFELY DISPOSE OF UNUSED MEDICATIONS
DEA NATIONAL TAKE BACK DAY IS APRIL 27
Take this opportunity to clean out your medicine cabinets
and help prevent drug misuse before it starts. According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more
than 100,000 Americans die each year from drug
poisonings or overdose-related deaths. Proper disposal of
unused medication also protects the
environment by keeping harmful
substances out of the trash and wastewater
systems. Every Day Can Be Take Back Day!
Many local pharmacies accept unused
medications year-round, including:
Pavilions - 7 Peninsula Center, Rolling Hills Estates
CVS Pharmacy - 901 Silver Spur Road, Rolling Hills Estates
Do your part to keep our community safe and healthy.

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY AND PROTECT
YOUR ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY
Residents are reminded to maintain the appropriate
clearance between structures and vegetation. The Los
Angeles County Fire Department regulates the first 200
feet from structures in order to establish a firefighting
defensible space. The City Ordinance requires the
removal of dead trees and plants on the remainder of
your property to help keep our community safe from the
threat of wildfires. Residents may wish to consult with their
gardener, an arborist or tree service to assess trees and
shrubs and for constructive clearance methods that
avoid future erosion. If you have questions about
clearance requirements, please call the Fire Department
at 310-377-1584. Links to Educational Videos:
