Our Police Officers are assigned to specific campuses and patrol areas.

The Los Angeles School Police Department (LASPD) is the largest independent school police department in the United States, with over 200 sworn police officers, over 60 non-sworn school safety officers (SSO), and 40 civilian support staff. Unique to the LASPD team is the variety of assignments and services it delivers to its customers: the students and faculty at the schools, the employees of the LAUSD, and the communities in which the students live. Our School Safety Officers are also assigned to school district facilities and parking enforcement. The LASPD also shares jurisdiction and interacts with over 13 municipal and county law enforcement agencies (to include multiple outside agency divisions and stations), as well as state and federal law enforcement and emergency services agencies. The LASPD team is a progressive and forward-thinking organization enjoying the support of the LAUSD Board of Education, Superintendent, staff, and parents who recognize the important role the LASPD plays in keeping their children and students safe. LASPD personnel concentrate their policing efforts on improving campus safety and creating safe school passages for students, staff, and school community. The goal of the LASPD team is to address the quality-of-life issues that impact student safety and the ability of the students and staff to enjoy a safe learning environment free from the fear of crime. Our team is also committed to ensuring a safe school community as we partner with local municipal law enforcement agencies, residential and business communities, faith-based organizations, and various non-profit community-service organizations.

Earlier today, Central Division officers in conjunction with Council District 9, City Sanitation, LADOT and LAHSA worked together to clean the area just east of Clinton Middle School.

The build up of unpermitted encampments and trash made it difficult and unsafe for students, staff and community members to walk through the area.

The area is now clean and safe for those who choose to use the public right of way. Additionally, aftercare was provided for those who don’t have anywhere to go.

Thank you to everyone involved in helping keeping our school community safe.🚸
