Accreditation Assessment Team Invites
Public Comment
A team of assessors from the Commission
on Accreditation for Law Enforcement
Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) will arrive
on August 28, 2010 to examine all
aspects of the Hermosa Beach Police
Department's policies and procedures,
management, operations and support
services, Chief Greg Savelli announced
today.
Verification by the team that Hermosa
Beach Police Department meets the
Commission's state of the art standards
is part of a voluntary process to
gain accreditation - a highly prized
recognition of law enforcement excellence,
he said.
As a part of the on-site assessment,
agency employees and members of
the community are invited to offer
comments at a Public Information
Session on Monday, August 30, 2010
at 7:00 pm. The session will be
conducted in the City of Hermosa
Beach Council Chambers, located
at 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach,
CA.
If for some reason an individual
cannot speak at the public information
session but would still like to
provide comments to the assessment
team, he/she may do so by telephone.
The public may call (310) 318-0336
on Monday August 30, 2010 between
the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 4:00
p.m. Comments will be taken by the
Assessment Team.
Telephone comments, as well as appearances
at the Public Information Session,
are limited to 10 minutes and must
address the agency's ability to
comply with CALEA's standards. A
copy of the CALEA Standards Manual
is available at the Hermosa Beach
Police Department. Please contact
Georgia Lonnquist at 310-318-0331.
Anyone wishing to submit written
comments about the Hermosa Beach
Police Department's ability to comply
with the Standards for Accreditation
may send them to: Commission on
Accreditation for Law Enforcement
Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), 13575 Heathcote
Boulevard, Ste. 320, Gainesville,
Virginia, 20155.
The Accreditation Program Manager
for the Hermosa Beach Police Department
is Georgia Lonnquist. She said the
assessment team is composed of law
enforcement practitioners from similar
but out of state agencies. The assessors
will review written materials, interview
individuals, and visit offices and
other places where compliance can
be witnessed. The Assessment Team
will be comprised of two experienced
CALEA assessors, namely, Commander
Robert Stack, Lexington Division
of Police, Lexington, KY, and Karen
Ashley, Deputy Police Chief (retired)/MCAO
Accreditation Manager, Surprise,
AZ.
Once the Commission's assessors
complete their review of the agency,
they report back to the full Commission,
which will then decide if the agency
is to be granted accredited status,
Chief Savelli stated.
Accreditation is for three years,
during which the agency must submit
annual reports attesting continued
compliance with those standards
under which it was initially accredited.
For more information regarding the
Commission on Accreditation for
Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA),
please write the Commission at 13575
Heathcote Boulevard, Ste. 320, Gainesville,
VA 20155, or call (800) 368-3757
or (703) 352-4225.

City celebrates Emergency Operations Center opening
City celebrates Emergency Operations Center opening
- City officials, staff and volunteers last week
celebrated the opening of Hermosa Beach's new Emergency
Operations Center. Located in a room on the second
floor of the Community Center that was refurbished
almost completely by volunteers, the center will
allow public safety personnel to coordinate the
city's response to any disaster.
Officials in Hermosa Beach will be expanding a mass
communications system that instantly delivers messages
to residents and business owners in the case of
a citywide emergency.
To sign up for the program, call 310-318-0239 or
visit the city's website at
www.hermosabch.org/.
Residents are encouraged to include cellular phone
numbers, e-mail addresses and text addresses to
the database.
Researchers find major quakes on the southern section,
on average, every 88 years - three times as often
as previously thought. It's the strongest evidence
yet that we're overdue for a massive quake.
6.1 magnitude quake rattles coast of southwestern
Mexico
A strong earthquake rattled the Pacific coast of
southwestern Mexico Monday evening, the U.S. Geological
Survey reported.
The 6.1 magnitude quake was centered about 185 miles
southwest of Puerto Vallarta, according to the USGS.
The suspects allegedly took advantage of combination
locks that can be opened in seconds using homemade
devices, Carroll said.
A combo lock "is so easy to get into," he added.
After taking locker contents, the suspects would
simply reattach the lock. In some cases, club patrons
didn't realize belongings were missing until after
leaving the gym, police said.
Carroll says key locks are safer than combination
locks, though any lock is vulnerable.
Ideally, gym patrons should not bring valuable
items into locker rooms, he said. If necessary,
keep items concealed in the car, such as in the
trunk, he added.
To avoid detection by loitering thieves, place
the items in the trunk before arriving at the gym,
Carroll said.

The Manhattan Beach Police Department recommends taking
the following steps to help minimize theft from vehicles.
Lock Your Car.
Lock your vehicle and take your keys, even
during quick errands. Lock the trunk, hatchback or tailgate
to block access into the car. Close all windows, including
vent or wing windows and sunroofs. Buy an alarm and
use it. Many people believe that alarms no longer make
a difference; however, they do remain an effective deterrent
to a burglar. Criminals will choose the easiest target.
If they have two cars to choose from, one with an alarm
and one without, they will likely burglarize the one
without.
Remove visible items from your vehicle.If
you leave items visible in your car, you are a target.
Be aware someone may be watching as you put a wallet,
purse, MP3 player, or cell-phone under your seat, especially
in a public parking lot. Take these items with you or
lock them in your trunk before arriving home or to a
parking lot. Don't forget your GPS systems, as these
portable devices are targets too.

Everyone plays a role in creating
and maintaining a safe environment.
Report Crime
- Don't assume that your neighbors have
already reported the crime or that the police
already know. Report criminal or suspicious
activity each and every time it occurs.
DIRECT
HB Dispatch Number
310-524-2750
Reasons
for calling the non-emergency number include,
but are not limited to the following:
-
You want to report a nuisance, such
as a noise or parking complaint.
-
To report a non-emergency crime, one
that did not just occur, and the
suspect(s) are not in the immediate
area.
-
You have questions about something suspicious
occurring in your
neighborhood, and you are not sure it
is criminal activity.
-
Solicitor just came to your door or
are in the neighborhood.
-
Trash diggers.
-
Unusual foot traffic.
-
People you don't recognize walking your
block with no seemingly specific direction
or purpose.
-
Parked, occupied vehicles at unusual
hours.
-
Abandoned vehicles.
-
Business transactions conducted from
vehicles.
-
Unfamiliar people peering into parked
vehicles.
-
Person removing vehicle accessories.
Be alert and observant wherever
you are and learn to recognize signs of
criminal behavior. Report all crime to the
HBPD even if it is only an attempt. Crime
cannot be controlled or prevented if it
is not reported. By reporting crimes and
suspicious activities you can protect yourself
and others.
If you are
in another city in the South Bay, these
are their direct dial phone numbers to their
PD/FD dispatch.
El Segundo Dispatch 310-524-2760
Manhattan Beach Dispatch 310-545-4566
Palos Verdes Dispatch 310-378-5211

Competition Team Needs A Couple More Members - D6
Hi RBCERTAA members:
Have some fun and use your skills!
We still need a couple of people to be on our competition
team for September 11th Burbank Invitational.
RBCERTAA team is currently doing review/trainings.
The next one is Wednesday, August 25 in the Redondo
Room at Beach Cities Health District.
This will be so much fun and an opportunity to use
your training.
Please consider being on the team. Drop me
an email!
If your interested below is a recap on the information:
RBCERTAA has been invited to the Burbank Fire Department
2010 CERT Invitational Competition.
We are putting together a CERT team to compete.
The date of the competition is
Saturday, September 11th.
There will be some training to prepare.
Here's some details:
Ten teams will compete in high-intensity skills
challenges based solely on the CERT curricula.
Teams will compete at the following stations:
1. Fire Suppression: a live fire pit will test extinguisher
skills
2. Victim Triage and Casualty Collection Area
3. Search & Rescue Operations: teams will
clear a four-story fire training tower
4. Cribbing and victim extrication: a heavy object
will need to be cribbed to rescue a victim
5. Disaster Medical Operations: moulaged victims
will increase assessment realism
6. and a written exam to test basic knowledge of
all CERT modules
Sandy Marchese
RBCERTAA, President
Attention: RBCERTAA
The California Shakeout is October 21st.
The key person from
our RBCERTAA that is putting together the plans
is Monty Ruth, Board Member along with other leaders
from neighboring CERT organizations.
The location
of this joint drill with Redondo Beach, Hermosa
Beach, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and perhaps other
CERT organizations has been established as the AES
Plant at 1100 North Harbor Drive, Redondo Beach.
This is a far more industrial location than the
previous site (see attached photos). The new site
has been the location for scenes from several movies,
e.g. Die Hard, and affords a variety of search and
rescue challenges, e.g. narrow staircases, poor
lighting and cramped conditions in some areas.
For those of you already signed up for this drill
be sure to note the new location. Because parking
at the site will be limited we urge you to car pool.
A list of those attending will be distributed with
the final notice to facilitate arranging for car
pools.
Shakeout Drill pre-Training has been established
at the Beach Cities Health District: Wed September
1st, Wed Sept 8th and Wed Sept 15th. All are from
6 pm to 9 pm. If these are successful some additional
training dates will be established. Our First training
will be on CERT Command Structure.
We need a head count
of how many members will be attending our first
training meeting?

Our evening classes went quite well,
and we're gearing up now for our next
class in October, National Preparedness
Month. Our next class will be
on, October 9, 16, and 23, 2010.
These are from 8AM to 4:30PM each Saturday.
One must attend all three days to complete
the course.
NOTE:
We have
room for 32 persons in the class.
The first 32 that email me and send
in their checks to the address at the
bottom of the flyer are in. We've
never come up short yet.
The cost of the Class has gone up
as we have replaced one cheap gas wrench
with another more expensive multi tool
in the back pack. It is now
$60.00 and you get back and
out of this much more.
For those of you that are interested
in your Red Cross 3 year First Aid Card,
we will set up an evening after you
graduate to finish the certification..
A small fee for the book and card may
be paid later. Also in November
we will have a Red Cross CPR Training
session too.
Please feel free to call me on my
cell if you have any questions.

The 2010 Great California ShakeOut on October 21 is
now less than three months away, and already more than
4.5 million
Californians are registered to participate.
In 2009 this milestone was not reached until mid-September!
If
you have renewed your registration already, thank you!
If
you or your organization has not yet renewed your registration
for 2010, please
login today to easily update your information
and confirm your participation in this year's drill.
Now is the time to be planning how you will participate.
Help us contact you...
Have you been registered for awhile but this is this
the first ShakeOut Update you have received? (Today's
email is sent from a different address. Past emails
are on our
ShakeOut Updates page.) If you haven't been
receiving these, the reason is likely your "spam" email
filter. The solution varies with each email provider.
You may need to add
info@shakeout.org to your email address list or
to your spam filter "whitelist" (especially schools
or larger organizations- ask your IT staff for the procedure).
Prepare, Protect,
and Recover!
The ShakeOut is an opportunity for us to prepare together,
before a major earthquake happens again in California.
To help we are sending you preparedness tips each month,
following the
Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety:
Step 6: Check it Out! One of the first things
you should do following a major disaster (if you are
not injured) is to check for injuries and damages that
need immediate attention. Make sure you are trained
in first aid and know how to identify hazards such as
damaged gas, water, and electrical lines. The
webpage for this step has basic instructions for
assessing injuries and damages
and how to handle each appropriately.
NOTE:
Firefighters, preparedness officials, and other experts
agree that "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" is the best way
to protect yourself during earthquakes. Other methods
can be very dangerous. Read our
special report to learn why.
Who
will ShakeOut with you?
A great way to help your friends, relatives, community,
employer, and others get prepared is to encourage them
to
register to participate in the ShakeOut!
Let them know you are participating and ask them to
join you. You can also display posters, distribute
flyers, and use other materials available on the
ShakeOut Resources page.
We're
all in this together...
The ShakeOut has grown because of people like you, who
see the value of practicing how to protect ourselves
and for getting prepared. We have formed the
Earthquake Country Alliance to foster an earthquake
and tsunami resilient California. Our signature activity
is the ShakeOut. If you have similar commitments please
join the Alliance.
Thank you for your participation and commitment to earthquake
safety!

to help neighborhoods prepare for disasters.
It is a program that HBNW has adopted and highly
encourages Block Captains to attend a class
and implement the program on their street.
MYN will help you to:
-
Learn the "9 Steps to
Take Immediately Following a Disaster" to secure
your home and to protect your neighborhood.
It is hard to think clearly following disaster
and these steps will help you to quickly and
safely take actions that can minimize damage
and protect lives.
-
Identify the Skills
and Equipment each neighbor has that would be useful
in an effective disaster response. Knowing which
neighbors have supplies and skills helps your disaster
response be timely, and allows everyone to contribute
to the response in a meaningful way.
-
Create
a Neighborhood Map identifying the locations of
natural gas for quick response if needed.
-
Create
a Contact List that helps identify those with specific
needs such as elderly, disabled, or children who
may be home alone during certain hours of the day.
-
Work together as a team
to evaluate your neighborhood during the first
hour following a disaster and take the necessary
actions.
Work together as a team to evaluate your neighborhood
during the first hour following a disaster and take
