Homeless Liaison Program Unit (HLP)
The HLP team is responsible for solving issues and concerns relating to the City’s homeless population. The HLP team uses both traditional law enforcement strategies and social service strategies to impact homeless issues. The HLP Team’s goal is to improve the quality of life for the residents, businesses, visitors and homeless within the city. The team is staffed by one Sergeant, six Police Officers.
The HLP team works closely with residents and business owners to help them protect their properties from trespassing.
Enforcing the state laws of trespassing requires the cooperation of the owner or agent of record for the property. The Department partners with owners and agents to provide services that include education regarding the laws and assistance with routine checks of the property to deter trespassing violations. The partnership requires that owners complete a signed letter, authorizing the police department to make arrests for trespassing and participate in any subsequent court proceedings.
For your convenience, a form letter can be printed, filled out, signed and returned to the police department.
If you require assistance or have questions, contact the HLP Team may be reached at (310) 458-8953.
