On Saturday, November 23, 2024, private security personnel engaged with a homeless individual, referred to as a "Street Resident" (S.R.), outside the Apple Store on the Third Street Promenade in Downtown Santa Monica. The individual, known to the security team, was approached after standing in front of the storefront. Following a brief conversation, the individual moved on without further incident.
The interaction was handled by Legion Corporation, a private security company contracted by Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. to provide supplemental safety services in the area. Legion's safety team operates daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., responding to non-emergency calls related to:
- Anti-social behavior
- Aggressive panhandling
- Sleeping or lying on streets, sidewalks, or alleys
- Disturbing the peace
- Suspicious activity
These efforts are part of ongoing initiatives to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for visitors, businesses, and residents in Downtown Santa Monica.
