Take-Back and Drop-off Unused Prescription Drugs on Sat., Sept 25 - Join the Nationwide Effort
Safely Drop-Off your unused prescription drugs today or any day, or join us in a special nationwide effort on Sat., Sept. 25 at any of these sheriff's stations of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. LASD Safe-Drug Drop-off boxes are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week in front of the below Los Angeles County Sheriff's patrol stations:
1. Carson Station
2. Century Station
3. Compton Station
4. Crescenta Valley Station
5. East Los Angeles Station
6. Industry Station
7. Lakewood Station
8. Lancaster Station
9. Lomita Station
10. Malibu / Lost Hills Station
11. Marina Del Rey Station
12. Norwalk Station
13. Palmdale Station
14. Pico Rivera Station
15. San Dimas Station
16. Santa Clarita Valley Station
17. Temple Station
18. Walnut / Diamond Bar Station
19. West Hollywood Station
20. South Los Angeles Station (Replaces Lennox Station)
1310 W. Imperial Hwy, Los Angeles 90044
Since the LASD started the Safe Drug Drop-off program one year ago, the public has shown a strong willingness to help protect the environment and reduce the possibility of unused prescription drugs falling into the wrong hands. Also, the attached chart reflects the number of syringes (sharps) collected during 2010, including an average of about 450 syringes (sharps) per month.
https://local.nixle.com/alert/3536026/?sub_id=80899
During this past year, the following has been collected by the LASD and disposed of in a safe manner:
9,546 pounds of prescription medications (nearly 5 tons)
4,520 pounds of used (512,662) syringes (2-1/4 tons)
6.1 pounds of Illicit Drugs
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Office of Diversion Control and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, want you to know about a nationwide effort to encourage people on Sat., Sept. 25, 2010, to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s medicine cabinets.
To read about National Take-Back Day and to see additional sites where you can drop-off your unused prescription medication throughout the U.S., visit the DEA website at:
http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/takeback/
Note that most non-LASD locations listed on the DEA website are one-day, temporary locations available only on Sat., Sept. 25, 2010. Also, only LASD stations accept syringes (sharps).
In September of 2009, Sheriff Lee Baca was joined at Lomita Station by members of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors, along with various city officials from the South Bay to promote the new “Safe Drug Drop-off” program.
A year later, this successful program continues to provide a unique opportunity for residents to safely and anonymously drop-off expired or unused prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, syringes (sharps), and any other controlled substances.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department participates in this program 24-hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure that residents have a safe way to dispose of these items. The practice of flushing medicines down the drain can have an adverse impact on aquatic wildlife. Wastewater treatment plants are not able to test or treat for pharmaceuticals. Therefore, the drugs end up in our rivers, streams, lakes, groundwater systems and oceans.
Saving unused or expired medications can lead to improper and illegal use if they fall into the wrong hands. Children and others may access these medications from medicine cabinets and either use them inappropriately, sell them or give to others for illegal and unintended uses. A safer solution for the environment is to bring your old medications to the designated drug drop-off boxes available at twenty of our sheriff's stations listed above.

San Gabriel Valley resident arrested for murder and kidnap for ransom. Click the link for Suspect photo and more info
On Wednesday, September 8th 2010 Suspect Deqiang Song met the victim in the San Gabriel Valley for a planned trip to the Santa Anita Shopping Mall. The victim, a 21 year old Chinese woman, had met Suspect Song, in a social club, one week earlier. She knew him by the alias of “Xia-Yu” (Sha-Yu).
During the afternoon, the suspect detoured the outing to the Apple Valley area, San Bernardino County, using a fabricated errand. Already within the suspect’s vehicle were the instruments he ultimately used to commit the kidnapping and attempted murder of the victim. After reaching a remote area between Victorville and Apple Valley, the suspect drove down a secluded dirt road. He proceeded to bind the victim, and used the victim’s phone to make his initial call to her father, demanding a ransom in exchange for her safe return.
Suspect Song then donned latex gloves and strangled the victim with a cord, until he believed she was dead. After realizing that the victim was still breathing, Suspect Song used a knife to slash the victim’s throat. After removing her restraints, Suspect Song left the victim for dead and returned to the San Gabriel Valley to continue his mission of obtaining the ransom money.
After receiving the initial ransom call, the victim’s father called 9-1-1 and reported the kidnapping to Sheriff’s deputies. Sheriff’s Major Crimes Detectives were dispatched and began the search for the victim. Efforts to locate the victim and the suspect continued as Investigators, through the father, negotiated with the suspect to obtain the victim’s safe return.
During the investigation, detectives learned that the victim had been located. After regaining consciousness, she reportedly walked approximately two miles through the desert to a house, where residents called 9-1-1. She was airlifted to an Antelope Valley Hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery to save her life.
Simultaneously, detectives agreed to a ransom payment in an effort to lure the kidnapper into the open. Hours later, a ransom drop was made in the city of San Gabriel. The suspect was subsequently arrested while attempting to retrieve the ransom money. Inside of his vehicle at the scene, investigators located the victim’s cell phone, which the suspect had used to communicate his demands, and some property belonging to the victim. On Friday, September 10th, detectives located the apparent crime scene in the desert area, where additional evidence was located and collected.
In the days since the incident, investigators have determined that the suspect acted alone in the crime and was positively identified by the victim as her lone attacker. It has been established that the suspect immigrated to the Chinatown area of Chicago, Illinois, from the She n-Yang (Young) Provence of China, in 2008.
He traveled to California during the last week of July, 2010 and has kept residence in the San Gabriel Valley, since then. His vehicle is a black, 2009 Toyota Venza, four-door, with Illinois license number H897160.
Sheriff’s Detectives are asking the public’s assistance in providing any possible information about the suspect and to identify any other crimes for which DEQIANG SONG may be responsible. The planning, sophistication and elaborate nature of this crime, may indicate that this is not the only crime in which this suspect is involved.
Sheriff's Detectives encourage anyone with information which will assist us to contact LASD Headquarters Bureau at 323-267-4800. If you prefer to provide information ANONYMOUSLY, you can call 'Crime Stoppers' by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.

New information from LASD
Community Message has been issued by the LASD - Headquarters Newsroom (SHB), Los Angeles County Sheriff.
Tuesday September 14, 2010 7:13 PM PDT
Launching the first of its kind, Community Based Information System (CBIS) for Law Enforcement
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and partnering agencies unveiled a nationwide, first of its kind database called the Community Based Information System (CBIS) today at Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau. This database is designed to combine crime, demographics, social service referrals, school dynamics and other relevant data. It is the ultimate information led policing system empowering law enforcement in making decisions and improving services. Sheriff Lee Baca stated, “This system has the capability to empower police agencies to effectively identify and assess problem areas, without regard to jurisdictional boundaries, just like crime.”
During challenging economic times when departments are minimizing services, this tool will allow law enforcement partners to continue the ongoing fight to provide public safety by bridging the gaps between information sharing. “The CBIS provides real time intelligence between local, state and federal agencies that will allow us to combat crime together,” said John A. Torres, Special Agent in Charge, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Los Angeles Field Division. “If this database can save one life, and I know it will, ATF will continue its collaboration with this project to ensure open lines of intelligence are being shared with all levels of law enforcement.”
Unlike typical reactive law enforcement technological systems that are used to track criminals or analyze crime, the purpose of this system is to allow agencies to better understand the socioeconomic dynamics that underlie troubled neighborhoods. Chief Charlie Beck commented, “The very nature of CBIS supports our goals to further develop and enhance LAPD’s predictive policing efforts, because it presents a comprehensive picture of the communities we serve, especially those troubled by violence and gang crime. The future of smarter, more effective policing means knowing where and when crime will happen. I’m confident that all agencies participating in this innovative program will benefit.” Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said, “CBIS provides us with a significantly enhanced ability to share information that helps the communities of two counties.”
The entire system will encompass valuable information that will be housed in one secure location and will be accessible to all our law enforcement partners within Los Angeles and Orange County. “CBIS is a breakthrough platform linking law enforcement with quality community data moving law enforcement towards achieving the best of 21st century policing,” said Connie Rice, Director of the Advancement Project. This unique system will assist line personnel with providing immediate referral information to the community. “We can provide the community with tangible solutions to their problems and create a cultural shift within law enforcement,” said Sheriff Baca.

The American Flyers
The American Flyers came to be in the early 1990’s, born of players that had formed strong friendships in a number of different bands in the 1980’s. The flyers have gone through numerous versions since that time with all members maintaining a strong fraternal bond with one another.
The current line up includes founding members Phil Capuano (Drums), and Van Nixholm (original bassist and current rhythm guitarist), Gene Diorio (Lead Guitar) from our 2nd incarnation, and a new Brother, Dominic Amstutz (Base Guitar).
As in the beginning, these guys play together because they enjoy the camaraderie they share and the music they make. The music they enjoy, mostly rock, blues, and country all has some personal attachment to one member or another, whether they be present players or not currently performing. Please enjoy our musical offerings, it’s from the heart. Partners, Brothers, and Friends.

Major improvements to the Amphitheater at Farnsworth Park
The 14th Annual Summer Concerts in Farnsworth Park just became much more comfortable for both the attendees and the artists.
The center section of the amphitheater is the last section to receive all new wood seating. Also, the dirt underneath the seats has been concreted over. It's now much cleaner then ever before.
In addition to the new seating throughout the amphitheater we now have a beautiful, brand new concrete stage for our performers to play on. Equipment set up and tear down will be easier now. Sod will be installed around the perimeter of the new stage.
A big thank you to Angie Calleros (Farnsworth Park Supervisor) and her crew at Farnsworth as well as County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation for a great job!
