How do I obtain a copy of my police report?

Are all criminal cases assigned to a Detective?
No. A case will be assigned to a detective for follow-up investigation
based on specific factors and evidence obtained during the initial
investigation. Studies indicate that the presence of these factors
can predict whether a detailed follow-up investigation would likely
result in the arrest and prosecution of the suspect(s) or the recovery
of property.
What if I want to talk to a Detective?
Due to the fact that they are in and out of the station, it is best
to phone (310) 802-5120, during business hours and make an appointment.
What should I do if I am stopped by the police?
Sometimes Police Officers stop people because they match the description
of a suspect in a recently reported crime, or simply for a traffic
violation. If you are stopped, pull over to the right side of the road
and park. Keep your hands on the steering wheel and do not make sudden
movements, or reach under the seat, or into hidden areas.
If my car is impounded and I disagree with the reason, what
can I do?
You have a right to a post impound hearing within 10 days after receiving
notice of the impound. Any such hearing will conducted within 48 hours
of receipt of the request, excluding weekends and holidays. If you
wish to obtain such a hearing, contact the Traffic Bureau of the Manhattan
Beach Police Department at 1501 N. Peck Ave., Manhattan Beach, CA.
90266 or telephone (310) 802-5165, between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5
p.m., Monday through Friday.
When do I have to report a traffic accident to the Department
of Motor Vehicles?
When you are the driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident
on a public street or highway resulting in injury or death of any person,
or property damage to any one vehicle (including the driver's) in excess
of $500, you must within ten days report the accident on a Department
of Motor Vehicles SR-1 form.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office prosecutes
felony crimes throughout Los Angeles County – a jurisdiction covering
4,083 square miles. The territory stretches from Antelope Valley to
Long Beach, from Pomona to Malibu. The District Attorney’s Office
also prosecutes misdemeanor crimes in unincorporated
areas of the County, including East Los Angeles, and in 78 of
the 88 County cities .
Los Angeles County is larger in population than 42 states in the nation
with a population of approximately 9.8 million people.
As the largest local prosecutorial agency in the nation, the Los Angeles
County District Attorney’s Office has a jurisdiction covering
4,083 square miles. The territory stretches from Antelope Valley to
Long Beach, from Pomona to Malibu.
On average the District Attorney’s Office prosecutes nearly
60,000 felonies and 200,000 misdemeanors a year. The Juvenile Division,
which has nine offices throughout the County, files approximately 30,000
criminal petitions a year against criminal offenders under 18 years
of age.
Cases from the central Los Angeles City area are prosecuted downtown
at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center by the Bureau
of Central Operations. Cases outside the central district are prosecuted
by the 30 branch and area offices. Head deputy district attorneys run
the main branch offices; deputies-in-charge run the branches’ smaller
area offices. All office
locations work closely with local police to prosecute crimes in
their respective regions. Branch and area offices prosecute the majority
of cases in the District Attorney’s Office.
Certain types of cases require expert attention and are handled by
special division or units. Prosecutors in these units focus on certain
types of crimes and are specially trained to prosecute them. Special
division and units - as well as prosecutors in the Victim
Impact Program - vertically prosecute crimes, which means that
one deputy district attorney handles the case from beginning to end.

The Public Defender is a law office established
and funded by the County of Los Angeles. The functions of the office
are defined by the county charter and by California state law. The
attorneys and other staff employed by the office render legal services
to individuals who are accused of public offenses, and who cannot afford
to retain the services of a private attorney. We also represent any
person under the age of 18 who is facing juvenile delinquency proceedings,
or regarding whom the state has instituted wardship proceedings because
of habitual truancy or incorrigibility. We represent individuals who
are involuntarily detained in medical facilities in a variety of mental
health proceedings because of purported mental disabilities, those
as to whom conservatorship proceedings have been instituted because
they are alleged to be gravely disabled, and patients whose competency
to refuse medical treatment is challenged. Finally, we represent individuals
who are subject to contempt proceedings for violation of court orders,
such as child support and child visitation or custody orders.
