𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗣: Venice Beach Encampments Cleared Without Incident

Venice, CA – April 4, 2025 – A multi-agency task force carried out a coordinated cleanup at Venice Beach on Friday, addressing persistent public safety and sanitation concerns. The operation involved personnel from the Los Angeles Police Department, Department of Public Works, County Beaches and Harbors, and environmental specialists from Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. During the cleanup, individuals camping along the beach were asked to vacate, allowing sanitation crews in protective gear to clear the area and safely dispose of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, with the goal of restoring public access and hygiene. The beach restrooms and surrounding areas, which have often served as makeshift shelters for unhoused individuals, were a particular focus of the operation, underscoring the city’s broader commitment to improving public facilities and addressing the living conditions of its homeless population. Enforcement actions were carried out under Los Angeles Municipal Code 63.44(b), which prohibits camping in city parks and on beaches. The operation proceeded without major incident, with Park Rangers overseeing security and ensuring compliance. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) provided outreach during the cleanup, distributing food, water, and hygiene kits to those impacted. A representative from Councilwoman Traci Park’s office was also present, reinforcing the city’s ongoing efforts to balance enforcement with compassionate outreach. City officials emphasized that operations like these are part of continued efforts to maintain public health and accessibility at Venice Beach, while working to connect unhoused individuals with essential services and long-term support.
