The Los Angeles Police Department is working with private security companies to help combat a surge of burglaries in the San Fernando Valley, according to KNX News.
In Studio City, a private security firm called ACS is contracting with neighbors to provide additional patrols, mobile cameras and surveillance systems to provide intelligence and protection against burglary crews.
Resident Rafael told KNX News that while he appreciated the effort, he was disturbed that the private sector had to be involved.
