Altadena Sheriff’s Station Advisory

The LA County Sheriff’s Department issued the following statement:

"The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Altadena Station is proud to announce the launch of a new community tool: AltadenaTips@lasd.org, a dedicated email address for residents to report suspicious activity and submit photos or videos that may assist in criminal investigations.

This new initiative is part of the department’s ongoing commitment to community-based policing and increasing transparency and collaboration between law enforcement and the public.

Residents are encouraged to:

  • Send photos or videos capturing suspicious or criminal activity

  • Include the location (street address or cross streets)

  • Provide their name and phone number (optional)

  • Remain anonymous if preferred

“Our goal is to empower the community to be proactive in public safety,” said the Altadena Station Captain. “We view our residents as partners — extra eyes and ears who can help us act quickly and effectively to keep Altadena safe.”

Submissions to AltadenaTips@lasd.org will be reviewed by investigators and may support ongoing investigations or help identify emerging issues in the community.
