Los Angeles police said Monday the department was monitoring the situation in England and assured residents that adequate resources are deployed in an effort to keep people and public spaces safe.

"We are aware of the incident that occurred over in Manchester, England, and continue to monitor that (situation) here in the department," Officer Mike Lopez of the LAPD's Media Relations Section said.

Lopez stressed that the department is not aware of any credible threat to the city or its public assembly venues, but is nonetheless ready to respond to anything that might arise.

"We are prepared with adequate resources for the citizens of Los Angeles and their safety," he said.

Lopez added that the eyes and ears of residents are an invaluable resource in helping keep the community safe. He urged people to be vigilant and report anything that seems suspicious or even out of the ordinary, repeating the manta, "If you see something, say something."

Mayor Eric Garcetti offered a message of solidarity to the people of Manchester, which has a Friendship City relationship with Los Angeles as part of the city's Sister City cultural exchange program.

"Los Angeles stands with the people of Manchester at this time of unthinkable anguish and loss," he said. "We send prayers for peace and comfort to the victims and their loved ones, Mayor (Andy) Burnham, and all people touched by the tragedy in our Friendship City."
