Local law enforcement agencies were taking precautions Friday in response to the series of explosions and shootings in Paris, although no credible threats in Los Angeles have been reported.
Los Angeles police added extra patrols Friday at “critical infrastructure” sites and will have extra officers on hand at large public events, according to a department spokesman.
“We are aware of the attacks in Paris and the command staff has been alerted,” Officer Aareon Jefferson of the LAPD’s Media Relations section said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department also will alert its deputies.
“While there are no specific credible threats to Los Angeles County, sheriff’s personnel will be reminded to remain vigilant and maintain situational awareness,” department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said. “We urge the public to report any suspicious activity to their local law enforcement agency and if they see something, say something.”
Los Angeles police officers were stepping up their presence at critical sites and places where large crowds are gathered, such as a scheduled Justin Bieber concert Friday night at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. For the full article click here
