South Gate Police to Host Public Meeting

This evening at 6:00 p.m., the South Gate Police Department (SGPD) will host a community meeting at the Senior Citizen Building in South Gate Park, found at 4855 Tweedy Blvd. Residents are encouraged to use this forum as a place to bring up safety related issues that they might be worried about.

“The meeting gives the citizens of South Gate the opportunity to find out what is going on in their community and talk to officers about their neighborhood,” wrote Captain Keith Hupp of the SGPD in an email.

The forum will also showcase a presentation by a local police sergeant, who will talk to residents about a grant that was recently obtained from the State of California, Alcoholic Beverage Control.

“[The grant will be used] to conduct education and enforcement in the laws pertaining to alcohol sales,” wrote Capt. Hupp.

An SGPD patrol watch commander, gang enforcement officer, traffic officer and detective will also be available to answer questions.  

Residents who wish to know more on the meeting should contact the Watch Commander on duty at (323) 563-5457.
