Eyewitness News spoke with Mayor Karen Bass about the LAPD and how she's addressing safety concerns in Los Angeles.
There were two burglaries involving multiple suspects in the Porter Ranch neighborhood Thursday - the latest in a string of break-ins that has Los Angeles neighborhoods on edge.
Bass told Eyewitness News that crime suppression tactics, like increasing patrols, aren't common in places like Brentwood and Encino. Those neighborhoods have seen a series of burglaries and home invasions this summer, something Bass described as organized criminal behavior. "Doing the work that we do to make sure young people don't fall into gangs because some, not all of the crime, is associated with street gangs so we try to prevent it on that side," Bass said. "We have another program called CIRCLE which is to prevent people suffering from mental illness."
Bass expects to make a decision on a new LAPD chief in early fall and has spent the last few months meeting with community members and LAPD's rank-and-file.
