If You’re Lost, Stop Moving
One of the most important things you can do if you become lost in the wilderness is simple: stop moving.
Searching for a moving person is much harder than searching for someone who stays in one location.
Once you’ve called for help, unless you are

Attention, #LCF! Today marks the start of California Flood Preparedness Week, and with a Super El Niño potentially on the horizon, now is the time to safeguard your property. 🌧️
Heavy and continuous rains can lead to unexpected flooding, debris flows and mudslides. Here are a few ways the #LCF community can prepare: clear gutters of debris, have sandbags ready, prepare an emergency kit and sign up for local weather alerts at LCF.ca.gov/Alerts. 💧
The #CityOfLCF is providing 24-hour access to sand and sandbags at the following locations:
✔️ LA County Fire Station #19 (1729 Foothill Blvd.) – sandbags only
✔️ LA County Fire Station #82 (352 Foothill Blvd.) – sandbags only
✔️ Camp 2 (4810 N. Oak Dr.) – sand and sandbags
✔️ Top of Ocean View Blvd. (2191 Highrim Road) – sand only
➡️ For additional temporary sandbag distribution sites in Los Angeles County, visit PW.LACounty.gov/DSG/Sandbags.
Taking these steps today can make all the difference for your home and family this winter!

Yesterday, we participated in the Great ShakeOut. Deputies checked critical facilities, our Emergency Operations Center was activated, and damage reports were relayed by our Disaster Communications volunteers using ham radio.

The wet weather may be over for now, but when the next storm comes, remember to keep your speed down and your following distance up while driving in the mountains.
Yesterday, we were doing an article search with @AltadenaMRT in Big Tujunga Cyn when we were dispatched to a vehicle over the side on Angeles Forest Hwy near MM 20.72. Thankfully, the driver was okay.
Wet weather makes mountain roads even more hazardous. Slow down, increase
We are excited for the @NASAJPL Explore JPL event!
The safety of all attendees and the surrounding community is a top priority. Please be mindful of increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area of JPL.
If you see something, say something and we thank you for your help ensuring a safe event.

This Sunday, Montrose SAR responded to four motorcycle-down calls in the Angeles National Forest, including one rider who went over the side on Angeles Crest Hwy near MM 26.78.
ACH is not a racetrack. Slow down, ride within your limits, and save the canyon carving for the track.

Hot weekend ahead. Hiking is questionable in this heat, but for dogs the answer is simple: leave them home.
Dogs overheat quickly and hot dirt and rocks can burn their paws. They may also keep going long after they should stop.
Wait for cooler weather

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department rolled out new patrol vehicles equipped with modern technology. Since August of 2025, we have deployed new patrol vehicles.
These vehicles come equipped with improved lighting for visibility, advanced safety features like collision avoidance technology, and hybrid powertrains that support our sustainability goals.
They also feature an enhanced siren system. In addition to our standard siren, it is equipped with a low frequency low rumble siren, a deep vibrating tone that can be both felt and heard by drivers and pedestrians.
Yesterday, on behalf of Sheriff Robert Luna, Captain Ryan A. Vienna presented Lieutenant Robert P. Boese III with a commendation for his outstanding work and efforts in organizing the Department’s 175th Anniversary Celebration.
Lieutenant Boese serves as a day-shift Watch Commander and is a valuable asset to our station.
Thank you, Lieutenant Boese, for all your hard work and dedication each day! Please join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved recognition!

He was arrested. Thanks to the resident who called. See something, say something. #CVStation #LASD
