Summary
The Lomita Sheriff Station reported 40 Part 1 incidents in Rancho Palos Verdes from Jan. 1 through March 2 — a 38.5% decrease year‑over‑year — and described enforcement efforts including a traffic operation that scanned about 450 vehicles.
The Lomita Sheriff Station told the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council on March 3 that Part 1 crimes in the city have fallen compared with the previous year.
“Altogether, there's only been 40 incidents for the city of RPV, from January 1 to date, March 2,” the Lomita Station representative reported, characterizing that total as a 38.5% decrease in Part 1 crimes. The briefing listed zero homicides and arson, declines in burglaries and larceny thefts, and fewer robberies and assaults than last year.
The representative described notable enforcement operations: a Feb. 22 disturbance on a 2000 block that led to two arrests (one for assault and one for narcotics charges) and a traffic operation on the switchbacks where deputies and traffic units scanned about 450 vehicles and issued eight citations for speeds above 50 mph and two citations for loud exhaust.
The station also noted community policing work such as station tours, ride‑alongs and an upcoming civilian academy in April. The station credited deputies and a station foundation that raises funds for deputy programs.
Council members thanked the station for its work; no votes or policy changes were associated with the report.
