Killing of Iranian general has authorities in California boosting security and eyeing Iranian assets
The escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran has local law enforcement on alert.
“While there is no credible threat to Los Angeles, the LAPD is monitoring the events developing in Iran,” the Los Angeles Police Department said on Twitter. “This Department is committed to ensuring the safety of our vibrant and diverse community, and we ask every Angeleno to say something if you see something.”Other law enforcement agencies throughout the nation, including the New York and Boston police departments, shared similar messages on social media.
There are currently no direct threats to Southern California or the Los Angeles area, officials said.“Nearly every nationality in the world can be found in the County of Los Angeles. Keeping all residents and visitors safe is always a top priority. We at Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are aware of the unfolding events in the Middle East,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.
“We’re constantly monitoring .... We adjust our protocols constantly. Anything like this is pretty standard for us,” Pedregon said.
