Friendly Reminder, Do Not Light Fireworks!
The City of Long Beach wants everyone to enjoy the holiday. And, in order to keep the City’s residents and visitors safe, all personal fireworks, even those deemed “Safe and Sane,” are illegal in the City of Long Beach. You can also submit a complaint in these ways:
-
Call the non-emergency number at the Communications Center at (562) 435-6711 to report fireworks usage and/or sales.
-
Online HERE
-
Email the patrol division at LBPDEast@longbeach.gov where the activity is occurring and provide addresses, videos, license plates, photos, and any other information that can be investigated. Please include your name, address, and phone number so that you can be contacted if necessary.
- Call 9-1-1 for emergencies ONLY. People should not call 911 to report fireworks, unless the fireworks have caused an injury or fire.
The Police Department will make every effort to respond to reports of illegal fireworks, however, officers must witness the activity in order to make an arrest. Community members who witness illegal fireworks activity also have the option to sign a private person’s arrest form which will allow officers to take action after investigating an incident.

Community Invited to Provide Input on Updated Subdivision Ordinance
The City of Long Beach is in the process of comprehensively updating its Subdivision Ordinance for the first time since 1983. The Ordinance provides guidance and procedures for the design and improvement of various types of land divisions in the city. Updates to the Ordinance aim to ensure consistency with State law and the City’s General Plan, including the updated Land Use Element, Mobility Element, Urban Design Element and Local Coastal Program. The updates allow for a more streamlined review process for minor map approvals such as lot mergers, lot line adjustments and parcel maps. The public is invited to review the draft Subdivision Ordinance and provide written feedback during the comment period through Monday, June 26, 2023. A revised draft will be brought before the Planning Commission for consideration at a public hearing later this summer. To submit a comment during the public comment period, contact Sergio Gutierrez, Project Planner, at Sergio.Gutierrez@longbeach.gov or 562.570.5934.
