In a city known worldwide for its quiet streets and luxury shopping, the last two weeks have been busy for the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD). A recent spate of crime has included smash-and-grab retail burglaries, armed robberies and the distribution of antisemitic flyers. The BHPD told the Courier it is responding with increased patrols and heightened awareness.
“We monitor whatever is going on around us and we react appropriately from a preparation stance,” BHPD Lt. Giovani Trejo told the Courier. “We will always make sure our business district is safe and protected and we react to those threats as they happen, and also trends. As [incidents] increase, we increase patrolling and we have also increased private security patrols as well.”
