We have studied the targeted areas and identified the points of entry and exit used by these criminals. In response, the Homeowners of Encino will hold an in-person meeting at our Local Police Department Conference Room due to the importance of the subject: the SAFETY of our FAMILIES. This critical topic surpasses the limitations of a Zoom call, where issues such as muted participants and restricted speaking time hinder effective communication. Goals and Objectives of the Meeting: - Bring our community together to receive and share information - Discuss proven and successful actions implemented by other communities and the LAPD - Develop strategies to prevent Encino from being a "TARGETED COMMUNITY" Your attendance and participation are crucial. Let's work together to ensure the safety and security of our neighborhood. Sincerely, Homeowners of Encino ## Event Information [ ![save up to 4000 on used evs](https://mail.citywatchla.com/images/LADWP/dwp%20ev%20ad2.png) ](https://mail.citywatchla.com/component/banners/click/107 "LA DWP | Save $4K, Green | Priority Ad") [ ![Donna Tryfman](https://mail.citywatchla.com/images/ADS%20FOR%202026/Donna-Tryfman-Ad-Final-Complete-Border-White-Margin.png) ](https://mail.citywatchla.com/component/banners/click/98 "Donna Tryfman - HS1-1") [ ![LA DWP #2 (Power Savers)](https://mail.citywatchla.com/images/LADWP/2026%20LADWP%20PowerSavers%20300x250.png) ](https://mail.citywatchla.com/component/banners/click/82 "LA DWP #2 (Power Savers)") [ ![David DeJute Campaign](https://mail.citywatchla.com/images/ADS%20FOR%202026/DejuteAd.png) ](https://mail.citywatchla.com/component/banners/click/111 "David DeJute Campaign") [ ![Pay Water Bill Help](https://mail.citywatchla.com/images/LADWP/dwp%20-%20cares-ad.jpg) ](https://mail.citywatchla.com/component/banners/click/97 "Home - LA DWP #2 (Pay Water Bill Help)") [ ![Anna Reitano Vertical R.
