Hello Kristina,

As we welcome 2025, I want to thank you for your continued support and commitment to our community. Wishing you a safe and happy New Year’s celebration!

Join us today for the East Division Commanders Forum and Open House from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the LBPD East Division Substation at 3800 East Willow Street. This is a great chance to connect with our LBPD East Division Officers and discuss safety in your community. Details below.

Also, we’re looking for volunteers for the 2025 Homeless Point in Time Count held at 4:30 am on Thursday, January 23. Register to volunteer today!

Let’s kick off this year by working together for a safer, stronger Long Beach!

As always, the District 3 team and I are here to help. You can reach us at District3@longbeach.gov or (562) 570-6300.

Sincerely,

Kristina Duggan

Lights, Camera, No Action Pilot Program - Apply today!

Two months ago, we launched the Lights, Camera, No Action Pilot Program to help District 3 residents install publicly facing lights and cameras with up to $100 in rebates. So far, we’ve approved over 50 locations, and 10 applicants have completed the entire process. Thank you to the District 3 Neighborhood Watch Volunteers for running the program and thank you to Community Development's Neighborhood Services for their support!

Installing lights and cameras is a quick and effective way to improve safety in your neighborhood. The application takes about 5 minutes, and most applicants have all costs covered.

Funding is still available, so apply before the end of the year!
