Here’s a few safety tips to recap our talk: • Call the Lomita Sheriff Station FIRST to report any suspicious behavior, 911 for emergencies and 310-539-1661 for non-emergencies. • Take preventative measures in protecting your property from theft: lock doors, keep garage doors closed, keep valuables out of sight, turn lights on even if you’re not home to make your house look occupied – this acts as a deterrent. • Domestic violence awareness starts with us! Learn the signs, speak up, and provide support to those who need it. For questions about resources available call 310-377- 1521. • See Something, Say Something – Report suspicious activity in our community. If you see something, say something—your vigilance keeps us safe. DEFENSIBLE SPACE REMINDER Annual defensible space inspections are expected to begin June 1.
