In the early 2000's, the Hollywood community invested $2 billion to restore and revitalize the iconic city. The areas surrounding Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue increased in popularity as a worldwide destination, and the LAPD recognized the need to ensure public safety. During the news conference, Mayor Villaraigosa and Chief Bratton announced the deployment of additional officers and resources to the Hollywood area to continue the reduction of crime and to increase the quality of life for those who work, live and visit the entertainment capital of the world.

OK, 40 officers will be deployed to Hollywood Bl to lower crime there. 50 officers will be re-assigned from throughout the city to work Metro Jail due to the shortage of civilian jailers. 35 officers from throughout the city will be re-assigned to staff security posts at the new headquarters building.

Headline should read: "In the name of public safety in Hollywood and protect the $2 billion investment, LAPD will help ensure the investment continues to grow with interest." However, who is going to pay for it?
Maybe you should call MJ's family or AEG?
Mayor V, Chief Bratton-- appears to be a hypocritcal commentary on behalf of the City.

It should be pointed out that the day this news conference was going on, 4 people were stabbed in the next block and 3 died. Since crime is down it must have just been an off day in the city.
