    Community Resource Deputies (CO.RE.) The overarching objective of the CO.RE. Team is to provide neighborhoods with deputies that have flexibility to direct their resources to community issues over longer periods of time. Their general objectives include continuity, consistency, and commitment to resolving Quality of Life issues that are not easily addressed by patrol units. The ultimate goal is to improve Quality of Life in our communities by pro-actively intervening when youth need help, rather than reacting after they get into trouble. The area of responsibility is not limited to school but also parks, shopping centers, businesses and other locations that are frequented by youths. The team conducts civil and criminal abatements as well as truancy sweeps. The team is comprised of four deputies and supervised by one sergeant. This unique approach to Community Oriented Policing was named as one of the top 50 Police programs in the United States. For further information, please contact Sgt. Dave Rozas at (310) 891-3227.
     
   
   
    RESERVES Reserves deputies are an integral part of the Lomita Station family. Reserves deputies are part-time volunteer law enforcement officers. They complete state mandated training and work assignments on weekends and as their regular jobs permit. Reserve Deputies enjoy the challenge and excitement offered by law enforcement, as well as the satisfaction of providing a worthwhile community service. Each Reserve is issued a badge, identification card, handgun, and most necessary equipment. Reserve deputies have full peace officer powers when on duty and may not carry a concealed weapon off duty unless accompanied with a Special State issued permit. For further information, please contact Sgt. Dave Rozas at (310) 891-3227.
     
   
   
 

  MOUNTED POSSE

 

The Mounted Posse Reserve is the same as the Reserve Deputy Sheriff. The only difference is the Mounted Posse is on a horse.

     
   
   
    BIRD DOGS The Bird Dogs are a civilian surveillance team sponsored by Lomita Station. The team was formed in the early 1990's as a result of an overwhelming caseload of the detective bureau. The Bird Dogs volunteer many hours to assist Station personnel in grueling stakeouts, traffic control, and a host of community events. The teams success has been a positive influence upon the community. The team is trained in surveillance tactics, following suspects, and driving skills. The team is supervised by sworn deputy personnel. This team has been very successful and have been responsible for the capture of numerous felony suspects. The team has approximately 20 members. For further information, contact deputy Rich Johnson at (310) 891-3218 .
     
   
   
    P.E.R.T. - Peninsula Emergency Response Team

The P.E.R.T. team is a Civilian Emergency Response Team (CERT). The idea was developed by the LA City Fire Department in 1985, when the fire department recognized that citizens would very likely be on their own during the early stages of a catastrophic disaster. The P.E.R.T. team is trained to be effective first responders that will fan out into the community and handle emergency functions immediately after a disaster. Individuals are trained to extinguish small fires, turn off natural gas, and water, perform light search and rescue, and render basic first aid. For further information, please contact Sgt. Dave Rozas at (310) 891-3227.
