LOS ANGELES – Another round of significant heat is expected for Southwestern California Monday and Tuesday. The warmest areas will be the valleys, lower mountains and deserts where afternoon high temperatures will climb into the 99-109 degree range with very warm overnight lows.

For the inland coastal plain, very warm conditions are also anticipated with afternoon high temperatures in the 85-95 degree range.

Due to the expected temperatures, EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS and HEAT ADVISORIES are in effect for Monday and Tuesday.

The Los Angeles County Health Officer has issued a heat advisory as high temperatures have been forecast for the following areas:

Excessive Heat Warning

Heat Advisory

Public Health reminds everyone to take precautions to avoid heat-related illness, especially older adults, young children, outdoor workers, athletes, and people with a chronic medical condition who are especially sensitive to negative health impacts from extreme heat. Public Health offers the following recommendations during high temperature days:

“While it is very important that everyone take special care of themselves, it is equally important that we reach out and check on others, in particular those who are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of high temperatures, including children, the elderly those who are sick or have chronic conditions, pregnant women, those who live alone, and pets,” said Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, Los Angeles County Health Officer. “High temperatures are not just an inconvenience; they can be dangerous and even deadly. But we can protect ourselves, our families, and our neighbors if we take steps to remain cool and hydrated. It is critically important to never leave children, elderly people, or pets unattended in homes with no air conditioning and particularly in vehicles, even if the windows are ‘cracked’ or open, as temperatures inside can quickly rise to life-threatening levels. If you have an elderly or unwell neighbor or relative, I encourage you to check on them throughout the day to make sure they are safe and well.”

County and City partners have planned ways to safely operate cooling centers during times of high heat. Residents who do not have access to air conditioning are encouraged to take advantage of these free cooling centers. To find a location near you, visit https://ready.lacounty.gov/heat/ or call 211.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors signed a declaration of local emergency on August 20, 2023, as Tropical Storm Hilary made its way through Southern California. The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) advises business owners and operators of hotels and other lodging that they must stay in compliance with state and Los Angeles County laws which protect consumers from price gouging. Price gouging during a state of emergency is also illegal under Penal Code Section 396.

In most circumstances, businesses may not increase the price of goods and services more than 10 percent for consumers impacted by an emergency. This prohibition also applies to hotel and motel rooms, rental housing, and short-term rentals. This price-gouging protection is currently in effect across all of Los Angeles County, not just the areas immediately impacted by Tropical Storm Hilary.

If you believe you have been improperly overcharged for goods, services, or housing, keep your records and receipts, and file a price gouging complaint using DCBA’s “Stop Price Gouging” online reporting tool. You can visit stoppricegouging.dcba.lacounty.gov to get started. There, you can pinpoint the location of the incident and upload documents directly to DCBA’s investigators for follow-up. You can also reach DCBA by phone at (800) 593-8222.

Los Angeles County has launched Pathway Home, a major expansion of its efforts to resolve encampments, with a successful operation in unincorporated Lennox that helped 59 people move inside. The Pathway Home encampment resolution program, which includes recreational vehicles or RVs, is just one component of the ongoing, multi-pronged response to the homelessness crisis launched under the emergency declared by the Board of Supervisors in January. The program, which will roll out in other communities of LA County in the months ahead, will partner closely with local jurisdictions.

The first Pathway Home encampment resolution, in unincorporated Lennox, took place from August 9 through August 11 and was conducted in collaboration with the Office of Supervisor Holly Mitchell along with officials serving Lennox and the Cities of Inglewood and Hawthorne. This operation focused on a cluster of longstanding encampments —including one dubbed “The Dead End”— beside or beneath the 405 Freeway, near Los Angeles International Airport.

In all, 59 people were supported to come indoors, 50 of whom chose to move into a hotel administered through Pathway Home, while nine others entered other forms of interim housing. Pathway Home also supported housing 26 pets, the removal of seven RVs, and the cleanup and removal of tents, trash and other items from the site. To learn more about Pathway Home, visit homeless.lacounty.gov/pathway-home/.

The Department of Public Health has made a huge investment in Harm Reduction services to saves lives on the streets and provide a pathway to housing.

Crashes are one of the leading causes of death for school-aged children. The afternoon hours are particularly dangerous

Published

LOS ANGELES – Southern California students are returning to classes soon on foot, bicycles, as well as in cars and school buses. To prevent traffic-related injuries and fatalities to students, the Automobile Club of Southern California reminds drivers to slow down and stay alert in and around school zones as well as in other areas where children might be present.

KTLA reported that more than 500,000 Los Angeles Unified School District students are geared up for the first day of school Monday. The nation’s second-largest district is ready and fully staffed for the big day.

It is the first time in the school district’s history that all teacher vacancies have been filled in advance of the school year, LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho told KTLA early Monday.

“We are ready,” Carvalho said. “Nothing beats the caring teacher in the classroom that understands the child, touches his heart to influence his mind.” More than 70,000 professionals are employed and ready to begin the new year, he said.

Carvalho described the beginning of the school year as “the reawaking of the sleeping giant called LAUSD from its summer nap.”

Crashes are one of the leading causes of death for school-aged children. The afternoon hours are particularly dangerous. Nearly one-third of child pedestrian fatalities occur between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Kids are particularly vulnerable because they are small and less visible to drivers, don’t always make safe decisions near streets, and can be easily distracted when around other kids. Children are not adults, so it is up to drivers to compensate for these differences. AAA’s School’s Open – Drive Carefully! awareness campaign began in 1946 to help reduce child pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Today, this effort is more important than ever due to the prevalence of drivers with smartphones and the increase in distracted driving on our roads.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,522 people died in distracted-related crashes in the U.S. in 2021. That’s an average of 9 people killed each day in crashes that are totally preventable.

Distracted driving is especially dangerous for pedestrians and bicyclists. Non-drivers account for nearly one in five distracted driving deaths. The true numbers of deaths and injuries due to distraction are likely much higher though because distracted driving is often underreported or difficult to determine as the cause of a crash.

“School-aged children will soon be going to and from campuses, so drivers should prepare for them,” said Auto Club Corporate Communications & Programs Manager Doug Shupe. “If you drive distracted you are “intexticated” behind the wheel, and you could cause the same tragedies as a driver who is impaired by alcohol or drugs. So, make it a habit to put smartphones out of sight and stay alert on the road, especially in school zones, in neighborhoods, around parks, and near bus stops,” said Shupe.

The Auto Club joins Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), the world’s largest telematics service provider, to remind the public about the dangers of distracted driving during this time of year. According to CMT research:

• Screen interaction has increased during the back-to-school period (August 1 through Labor Day) every year since 2020. It was 15% higher last year than in 2020.

• Since 2020, distracted driving nationwide has caused 31,000 crashes, 80 fatalities, and more $740 million in economic damage during the back-to-school period.

Jamie White also joins the Auto Club in sharing this important safety reminder. White lost her young daughter Allie in September 2019. After arriving a soccer field to attend her brother’s game, in a split second and with her dad right beside her, Allie stepped off a curb in a parking lot and a driver going too fast while talking on a cell phone, ran over the toddler and killed her.

“Was a phone call more important than Allie’s life?” asked her mother. “Allie Estelle was just shy of her third birthday,” said White.

As schools and recreational sporting activities start again soon, White joined the Auto Club and law enforcement with the hope of preventing the pain and loss her family has felt from happening to others.

“I see Allie as a superhero. Her life was taken by a distracted driver which was completely preventable, but her story is impacting so many lives. People hear her story, and they cry, and it makes them think about what they are doing when they’re driving,” said White.

To prevent injuries and deaths this school year, the Auto Club reminds drivers to:

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced this past week that it has dropped all criminal charges against a former 23-year-old trans male high school teacher involved in a violent arrest incident that took place last February in Whitter just outside a convenience mart.

Brock had pulled into the front parking spaces of the 7-Eleven on Mills Avenue in Whittier last February 10 and as he exited his Black Honda Civic he was confronted by an LASD deputy, later identified by the Los Angeles Times as Deputy Joseph Benza.

The confrontation, caught on the deputy’s body cam as well as the convenience store’s video surveillance system, escalated and Benza is seen on top of Brock, pressing him into the concrete and punching him multiple times in the head. The altercation lasted around three minutes before Brock was cuffed and put into the patrol vehicle.

Brock was screaming for help the entire time, yelling that the deputy was going kill him and that he was not resisting arrest. This was documented by the audio from both videos.

Brock lost his job as a teacher as he’d been booked on three felonies and a misdemeanor. The LA County District Attorney later downgraded the charges to move forward with two misdemeanor charges: resisting arrest and battery on an officer. A judge reduced his bail from $100,000 to nothing.

The Los Angeles Times on Thursday reported that prosecutors decided to drop the charges, reporting that previously the department cleared Deputy Benza of wrongdoing but Brock lost his teaching job due to the pending charges against him. On Thursday, he told the Times that news of the dismissal came as a relief and that his lawyer still plans to ask a court to declare him factually innocent.

“I am feeling relieved that the district attorney made the right choice and chose justice,” Brock said. “But I will feel more relieved when I get my job back.”

A spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office said only that the case was tossed “due to insufficient evidence.”

The decision to drop the charges comes days after Brock’s lawyer formally filed paperwork accusing the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department of a cover-up, saying that several deputies made false accusations to put his client behind bars with “excessive” bail.

Brock, who was taken to the Norwalk Sheriff’s Station after his arrest says that when he informed Sheriff’s personnel of his gender identity, he became humiliated when they asked to see his genitals before deciding which holding cell to put him in.

The Times reported:

It wasn’t long before authorities asked Brock for a statement, during which he explained that he is transgender.

“So you’re a girl?” he said one jailer asked.

Brock said he wasn’t.

Then the man asked whether he had a penis — and Brock said he did.He explained what surgeries existed, and said that he’d been on hormones for years.

After one jailer asked for proof, Brock said, he spent a few awkward minutes in a bathroom showing her his genitalia and explaining the effects of testosterone.

The Sheriff’s Department in a statement said that a use-of-force review cleared Deputy Benza but that other aspects of Brock’s allegations were still under investigation.

“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department takes all use of force incidents seriously,” the department wrote. “Unfortunately, we cannot comment any further at this time due to the pending litigation in this matter.”

The Crime Lab initiated a three-month pilot program to track xylazine detected in controlled substances submitted to the lab

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s Scientific Services Bureau (Crime Lab) has detected xylazine in limited quantities of illicit drugs seized by local law enforcement in Los Angeles County, signaling that the substance is present in the local drug supply.

Xylazine is a veterinary anesthetic that is not FDA approved for human consumption; it can cause dangerously low blood pressure, a decrease in breathing rate and heart rate, and damage to tissue which can lead to skin wounds, large sores and ulcers, when consumed by people.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health stresses that these findings highlight that the illicit drug supply in Los Angeles County remains dangerous and contains substances such as xylazine that can increase overdose deaths. People who are obtaining these drugs may not be aware that xylazine is present.

On March 8, 2023, the Los Angeles Department of Public Health released a health alert highlighting that xylazine is being mixed with illicit opioids such as heroin or fentanyl, or pressed into counterfeit pills (e.g., Norco, Percocet, Vicodin, etc.) or sedatives (Xanax) as a cheap additive to increase the effects of these drugs.

The safest course of action is to avoid using illicit drugs, according to Public Health. To minimize the risk of overdose for people who are using drugs, Public Health urges residents to:

LASD Methodology

The Crime Lab initiated a three-month pilot program starting April 11, 2023, to track xylazine detected in controlled substances submitted to the Crime Lab. During that time, the Crime Lab analyzed a total of 4,608 controlled substance samples and detected xylazine in a total of 13 samples, resulting in an overall rate 0.003% of samples having xylazine.

It was noted that all samples that contained xylazine also contained fentanyl.

Of the 4,608 samples tested, 320 samples were found to contain fentanyl or fentanyl analogs, and of the 320 samples, 13 had an indication of xylazine, resulting in 4% of all substances with fentanyl also having xylazine. However, among the 4,608 samples, methamphetamine was the most prominent substance, being detected in nearly 3,000 samples.

These samples were collected from all jurisdictions throughout Los Angeles County and originated from Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department patrol stations or other local police agencies who use the Crime Lab services.

All controlled substance seizures were associated with a criminal case or incident including an arrest, seizure, or warrant service. Seizures varied in size—as small as a “dime bag,” a tablet or tablets, or as large as a kilo (brick).

Given the source of these tested controlled substances, these findings are not necessarily indicative of what may be prevalent in the community, nor does it indicate which type of drug is most used.

LADPH: Take precautions to avoid heat-related illness, especially older adults, young children & people with a chronic medical condition

LOS ANGELES – Excessive heat will continue this weekend for the desert, mountains, and valleys with highs 97-107 degrees in the hottest areas with 85-95 degrees across the coastal plains.

Expect humidities to drop into the single digits and teens, creating elevated fire weather conditions across areas away from the coast. Any fire start could potentially bring rapid plume dominated fire growth in the region.

The Los Angeles County Health Officer has issued a heat advisory as high temperatures have been forecast for the following areas:
