The Long Beach Police Department’s South Patrol Division will be hosting a leadership forum, which is a great opportunity for residents and business owners to become more engaged with the police department and its efforts and help improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods.

South Division Commander John Benedetti and his staff will discuss what is taking place in our neighborhoods, answer questions, and address any community concerns. A gang detective will also be providing a presentation on graffiti. The forum will take place tonight at 6:30pm and last until 8:00pm at the LBPD Headquarters Community room located at 400 West Broadway. Parking is available in the structure located at Broadway & Chestnut Avenue or available street parking.

The South Division street boundaries are Ocean Boulevard to Anaheim Street, and the 710 Freeway to Cherry Avenue.
