From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On November 8, 2023, officers from the Santa Monica Police Department’s Homeless Liaison Program (HLP) took a homeless man into custody at Santa Monica Beach under a 5150 hold, due to concerns about his mental health.

The individual was subjected to an involuntary psychiatric hold, also known as a 5150, after being assessed as a potential threat to himself or others or being found gravely disabled. During this intervention, a clinician from the Department of Mental Health was present to oversee the process."

The growing encampment next to the tennis courts in the parking lot for the Venice Breakwater was cleared out on Friday.



From Santa Monica Close Up:

"In an unusual turn of events on Monday, November 6, 2023, at Santa Monica Beach, maintenance personnel came across a woman trapped within the confines of the Pico Storm Drain. The woman, whose entry into the drain remains a mystery, sought assistance from the maintenance team. Swiftly responding to the call for help, Los Angeles County Lifeguards arrived at the scene and utilized bolt cutters to remove the lock on the fence that impeded access.

A lifeguard descended into the storm drain and hoisted the woman to safety. Following the successful rescue, the lifeguards offered medical support, which the woman declined before departing from the location. The circumstances of how she ended up in the storm drain are still unknown as authorities continue to investigate the incident."
