Dear <<First Name>>,
As we enter the holiday season and look forward to gathering again with family, friends and loved ones, it is also important to practice caution in regard to the safety of yourself and your home.
I encourage you to stay vigilant against the increase in home theft that can often occur this time of year, as more people leave their homes for holiday travel and other activities.
Here are some helpful, easy tips to protect your home and your loved ones.
✅Be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave the house, even for a few minutes
✅ When leaving home for an extended time, have a neighbor or family member watch your house and pick up your newspapers and mail
✅ Indoor and outdoor lights should be on an automatic timer
✅ Leave a radio television on so the house looks and sounds occupied
✅ Large displays of holiday gifts should not be visible through the windows and doors of your home
For more information about how you can stay safe this holiday season, please visit this informative website from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
In addition, you can also contact your local LAPD Division for further resources:

Be safe and well,

SHOP SMALL AT HOLLYWOOD MAROUCH
|
|
|
EAST HOLLYWOOD - On Small Business Saturday, we were excited to highlight Hollywood Marouch, an East Hollywood institution that has been serving outstanding Middle Eastern cuisine since 1982. Approaching their 40th year in business, the past is always part of the present at Hollywood Marouch - due in no small part to the family recipes that are still the bedrock of their menu. Please remember to shop small and support businesses like Hollywood Marouch, which make the 13th District the amazing place that it is!
