Last week's luncheon took place on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, at IJC Patio. It was a well-attended luncheon by our members, LAPD officers, Robbery and Homicide Division, and our honored guest speaker Los Angeles City Council District 14(CD14) council member Kevin De Leon and his staff.
Mr. Salem shared that as part of the security and safety concern, we took the initiative to have a communication channel between building owners and LAPD officers.
Council member, De Leon informed the members that he met with the officers regarding the seriousness of the safety and security of our members and their customers.
He suggested that CD 14 has the largest homeless population in Los Angeles and is working rapidly to address the problem. He shared that his department is working on a comprehensive plan for DTLA.
Mr. Sean Gamliel, DCWC Treasurer, was happy to report that due to the established communication channel, LAPD was able to apprehend a gunpoint robber soon after the incident.
We look forward to a bank of high-security cameras in the Jewelry district in the near future.
