𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞 𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗣: Police and Sanitation Crews Clear Encampment Debris at Venice Beach

VENICE, CA — Friday, August 1, 2025 — A coordinated multi-agency cleanup operation took place Friday morning along the Venice Beach Boardwalk, as part of the City of Los Angeles’ continued effort to improve sanitation, public safety, and accessibility at one of its most visited coastal destinations. The sweep involved crews from the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, LA County Beaches and Harbors, Clean Harbors Environmental Services, the Los Angeles Park Rangers, and the Los Angeles Police Department. Enforcement teams focused on removing debris and addressing unauthorized lodging in violation of Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 63.44(b), which prohibits camping in city parks and beach areas. During the operation, officers asked a man who had set up an encampment on the boardwalk to vacate the area so sanitation crews could proceed with cleanup. Advance notices were posted prior to the operation. Items left behind were removed by sanitation workers in accordance with city protocol. No arrests or citations were reported. The Los Angeles Park Rangers led the response, with LAPD officers on hand to provide support and ensure a peaceful operation. Outreach teams from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) were also present, offering water, food, clothing, and hygiene kits to individuals impacted by the sweep. Two representatives from Councilwoman Traci Park’s office were on site to observe and assist with coordination, highlighting the city’s dual approach of enforcement coupled with service-based outreach. City officials emphasized that the operation reflects a broader strategy to keep public spaces clean and safe while offering housing connections and long-term care services to those in need. Santa Monica Closeup continues to document the evolving balance between enforcement, outreach, and public safety across Los Angeles’ Westside. #venicebeach #BoardwalkSweep #LAMC6344 #HomelessOutreach #publicsafety — 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗲.
