Santa Monica, CA — Officers from the Santa Monica Police Department's Crime Impact Team (CIT) arrested a man at Palisades Park on Thursday, September 5, 2024, for possession of narcotics and violation of his parole. The suspect, already on probation for prior offenses, was taken into custody following proactive patrols in the area.
The Crime Impact Team (CIT) is a specialized unit within the Santa Monica Police Department comprised of four officers and a sergeant. This team is uniquely tasked with crime suppression, targeting specific hotspots throughout the city where criminal activity is most prevalent. Unlike regular patrol units, the CIT is not assigned to respond to routine radio calls, which frees them to focus exclusively on proactive crime-fighting strategies.
The team conducts targeted enforcement, surveillance, and community outreach, using data analysis to identify trends and patterns in criminal activity. Their goal is to prevent crime before it occurs by maintaining a visible presence in high-risk areas and engaging with community members to address concerns and build trust. Through their focused efforts, the CIT aims to reduce crime rates and enhance safety across Santa Monica. #SantaMonicaPD #PublicSafety #CrimePrevention #SantaMonicaPD #CommunityAlert
