(link for flyer) Fox_Hills_Traffic_Parking_Dept._April_2021_Meeting.pdf CRIME PREVENTION AT WESTFIELD CULVER CITY: After an attempted robbery/assault on one of our Fox Hills residents in the upper parking lot of the shopping center on March 1st, our board met with the Center’s Manager and Head of Security to discuss crime prevention measures. Discussion points were as follows: 1) Westfield Culver City has more funding for security than other shopping malls 2) Their security cameras are monitored regularly to insure proper functioning with expedient repairs as needed. 3) When we asked about security escorts to cars, we were assured that it was available on request, although there may be a short wait for security to arrive. We encourage people to contact security for an escort, especially if you are alone, if it is dark or anytime you feel unsafe. Usually people are targeted when they are alone and in the above incident, the perpetrators jumped out of a nearby car. **** SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS: 310-390-5073 (PROMPTS TO SECURITY EXTENSION) **** FOR TEXTING SECURITY: 310-341-0698 **** Any concerns can be addressed to the following email: [email protected] FEBRUARY 18, 2021 FHNA’S COMMUNITY MEETING WITH CCPD: We were heartened to see the degree of participation in our February 18, 2021 FHNA COMMUNITY MEETING, addressing crime in the Fox Hills area.
