The City of Commerce is fortunate to have a team of Community Service Officers (CSOs) to handle a variety of non-emergent, public safety
and crime prevention matters, easing the workload considerably for Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies to focus on more
critical calls. Since CSOs perform limited duties, they are usually able to respond quickly to calls. However, like the Sheriff’s Department, CSOs
must also prioritize their calls, with accident scenes and traffic control taking precedence.

Last year, the City received more than 900 public safety-related re-
quests or reports from residents and businesses. Here are some of the
ways the City’s CSOs served the community:

TYPE OF CALL NUMBER
OF INCIDENTS

PARKING CITATIONS 1900+

The most common parking violations are issued for vehicles blocking
a fire hydrant or driveway or for parking on a street during posted street
sweeping times. Anyone with five unpaid parking citations will not be
able to register their vehicle.

STOLEN VEHICLE* RECOVERY 100+

*Most of these vehicles are stolen outside of Commerce

TRAFFIC CONTROL 400+

During City Hall hours, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., please
call City Hall at 323 887-4460 if you need to report or request any of
the following:

1.Traffic control
Please note that due to safety reasons, CSOs do not direct traffic at
intersections with working traffic signals (including when they are
flashing red) or at stop signs
2.Parking issues
3.Stalled/abandoned vehicles
4.Vehicle unlock (fee may apply)
5.Vehicle jumpstart (fee may apply)
6.Vacation Watch - request that your home be checked while

you’re away

After hours and on weekends, please call the Sheriff’s Department at
323-264-4151. Depending on the nature of the call, the Sheriff’s De-
partment may dispatch CSOs rather than deputies. Anyone who needs
a report (burglary, vandalism, traffic collision, etc.) would need to call
the Sheriff’s Department. Other services they provide include checking
on the wellbeing of a family member who has not been heard from
(welfare checks) and the viewing of video surveillance footage.

For emergencies, residents need to call 9-1-1.

October is Down Syndrome Awareness month, which is a chance
to spread awareness as well as celebrate people with Down
syndrome.
According to the National Down Syndrome Society, one in every 700
babies in the United States is born with Down syndrome, making Down
syndrome the most common chromosomal condition. Of those babies,
about half of them are also born with a congenital heart defect. Up to
75% of babies with Down syndrome have a hearing loss, and about
50% have an eye problem which requires them to wear eye glasses.
Approximately 6,000 babies with Down syndrome are born in the United
States each year.

Due to advances in modern medical technology, individuals with Down
syndrome are living longer than ever before. In 1910, children with
Down syndrome were expected to survive to age nine. Now, with recent
advancements in clinical treatment, approximately 80% of adults with
Down syndrome reach age 60 and older.

In observance of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, Club 21 Learn-
ing and Resource Center for Individuals with Down Syndrome is hosting
a “Together is Better” Walkathon on October 20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
at Central Park in Pasadena. The City of Commerce Special Needs
Commission is encouraging the community to participate in this event
to support Jose Cisneros, a young Commerce resident who has Down
syndrome. Register at www.ds-stride.org/club21walkathon.

Free transportation will be provided from City Hall. Residents can
register for transportation to the Walkathon by calling the Public Safety
and Community Services Department at (323) 887-4460.

October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month
and to educate children about this social problem, the
City’s Social Services Division will give a “Stand up and
Speak Out” presentation to Rosewood School and Bandini
Elementary School students. In conjunction with the schools’ Red
Ribbon rallies, the focus is on building courage, confidence and
character.

Social Services Coordinator Ed Saucedo, who has been
coordinating and presenting the rallies for years, wishes bullying
awareness and prevention information was available when he was
growing up in Boyle Heights.

“I was actually bullied in school,” he said, “You feel powerless,
afraid and you want to run away. You don’t want to tell anyone.”

But telling an adult is precisely what Saucedo urges children to
do. He also explains to them that bullying is typically done when
others are not around, so staying in a group or near an adult is
advised. Saucedo said the purpose of the rallies is for children to
learn that it is never okay for anyone to make them feel bad, and
that help is available.

In addition to the two presentations at the schools, the Social
Services Division will also be hosting an anti-bullying rally on
October 24 at 4 p.m. at Bristow Park. All children are invited.

For more information about preventing bullying, please call the
Social Services Division at 323-887-4460 or visit www.stopbully-
