Temple Station Launches New E-Mail Crime Reporting Program

In an effort to improve our crime prevention abilities and provide the public with a computer assisted method to relay information, Temple Station has recently launched a new e-mail crime reporting program.  The program is designed to receive the type of information that  has been provided to the "We Tip" type telephone reporting programs for many years.  Users of this e-mail system are being asked to report problems in their neighborhoods such as gang hangouts, suspected locations where drugs are being sold, the locations of wanted individuals, or any other information they may want law enforcement to be aware of.  This e-mail reporting system is not designed to replace the telephonic reporting of crimes in progress or whenever a timely law enforcement response is needed.  All e-mail messages received will be read on a daily basis and may be sent anonymously.

The following e-mail address has been established for residents, businesses and anyone else wishing to bring information to the Sheriff Department's attention:

templecitycrimetips@lasd.org

In this day and age of such widespread use of e-mails, the Sheriff Department feels this approach is a modern common sense augmentation to existing crime prevention reporting programs and will strengthen our partnership with the community.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact Captain Richard Shaw or Lieutenant Sheila Sanchez at Temple Station, 8838 Las Tunas Drive, Temple City, CA 91780 or by calling (626) 292-3300.
