Parking Enforcement Detail Resumes

On April 1 the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept., Parking Enforcement Detail began enforcing all parking violations and reinstated the issuance of street sweeping citations, expired registration citations, as well as towing vehicles that have been warned via a “red tag” or any other vehicle in violation of the parking laws of the State of California as well as the County of Los Angeles.

To avoid receiving a parking citation or having a vehicle towed, drivers are urged to be mindful of this change.
