New digital tool aims to strengthen community policing efforts

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Altadena Station has established a new dedicated email address where Altadena residents can report suspicious activity and share digital evidence to aid investigators.

The new initiative, AltadenaTips@lasd.org, allows community members to submit photos or videos that might assist in solving crimes or identifying public safety concerns.

“Our goal is to empower the community to be proactive in public safety,” said the Altadena Station Captain. “We view our residents as partners — extra eyes and ears who can help us act quickly and effectively to keep Altadena safe.”

The sheriff’s department encourages residents to send photos or videos capturing suspicious or criminal activity, include specific location information such as street addresses or cross streets.

When submitting tips, it’s preferred if contributors provide their names and contact information, but they may remain anonymous if preferred.

Officials described the email system as part of the department’s ongoing commitment to community-based policing and increasing transparency and collaboration between law enforcement and the public.

Submissions to the tip line will be reviewed by investigators and may support ongoing cases or help identify emerging issues in the community.

Residents seeking additional information can visit the department’s website at https://lasd.org/altadena, follow the station on Instagram @aldlasd, connect on Facebook at AltadenaSheriffsStation, or contact the station directly at (626) 798-1131.

The Altadena Station is located at 780 E. Altadena Drive in Altadena.
