Committees
Security and Public Relations Committee
The Hollywood Media District contracts with Universal Protection Services to provide Security Patrols. The Security Team patrols the area on foot, bicycle and in the Media District's Security Vehicle 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The team may be contacted by calling 323-871-4150.
These Public Safety activities are designed to respond to needs that in some areas are based primarily on perception, and in other areas founded on the reality of crime and intimidating street populations.
