City manager Arum Maranian presented a third-quarter fiscal 2025–26 report describing the public safety division’s staffing, collaboration with the Lomita Sheriff Station, and objectives including crime monitoring, education, and neighborhood patrols.
Arum Maranian, Rancho Palos Verdes city manager, said the city council received a third-quarter report for fiscal year 2025–2026 on the implementation of the city’s new public safety division covering January through March.
Maranian said the division was established "due to rising sheriff's costs and to strengthen coordination of emergency preparedness, disaster response, and public safety services across the city." He described the division’s staffing and functions: "The division includes a field training officer and 3 public safety liaisons that when dispatched can respond to nonemergency calls from the Lomita Sheriff Station and conduct neighborhood patrols," Maranian said.
The report outlined progress, staffing levels, current initiatives and future objectives including crime monitoring and public education. The city did not present a formal vote in the transcript; the update was provided as part of the manager’s briefing to the council.
