Common Sherman Oaks assignments
- Ventura Boulevard restaurants and bars. Weekend nights, private buyouts and busy holiday evenings.
- Shopping centers and retail. Parking areas and entrances during the holiday season and sale events.
- Schools. Arrivals, dismissals, games and evening events.
- Medical and office buildings. Lobbies and garages during busy hours or after an incident.
- Hillside homes south of Ventura. Parties, fundraisers and gatherings where parking and arrivals need managing.
Parking is half the job
In Sherman Oaks, problems tend to start in parking: a crowded garage behind a restaurant row, a school pickup line that backs up onto a side street, or a hillside party where guests park on a narrow road. We write post orders that put the officer where those problems start, with clear instructions on what to watch for and who to call. For garages and lots overnight, the AI Vehicle Surveillance Program can cover the hours after the officer leaves, remotely viewed by LDG.
Recurring or one-time
Off-duty police officers are sworn officers working private assignments on their own time, under your post orders and their own department’s off-duty rules. LDG sources and vets them, keeps recurring shifts covered and sends one invoice. Neighboring Encino has its own page: off-duty police officers in Encino. More on the off-duty police officers page and the Encino & Sherman Oaks page.
