Cerritos, Lakewood Sheriff's Stations Launch New Multilingual Websites

As part of a department-wide transition, the and the Lakewood Sheriff's Station (which is contracted by the city of Artesia) have launched new community-based websites equipped with a variety of dynamic and interactive features.  

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the new websites mirror the look and feel of lasd.org but are geographically specific and topic-specific to the communities they serve. Additionally, the station websites accommodate more than 40 languages via Google’s link to an automated foreign-language translator.

"The public has requested more geographically specific and topic-specific information about their Sheriff’s Department,” said Sheriff Lee Baca. “These sheriff’s station web pages and the many more that will follow enable unit commanders to provide information of greatest interest to local communities. They provide the public what, we believe, the public has long wanted, in the way they want it provided. It is useful and interesting information, presented in an engaging and highly visual way.” 

The websites also feature the latest public safety news relevant to each community, including crime reports, important safety alerts and local media coverage.
