Study tour of Port of Los Angeles, the No. 1 port in the nation in container volume and a huge economic engine for all of Southern California.
The Port is facing many challenges as it competes with East Coast ports to protect jobs while leading in efforts to cut air pollution.
Thank you Avin Sharma and Tim DeMoss for the great briefing on how to keep America's Port competitive!
Toured LAUSD's Gardena High School. Checked out their engineering, biomedical, and video production pathway programs, as well as their Black Student Advancement Project.
Thank you to the ASB and JROTC student leaders for welcoming me and to Principal Frank Davies for the tour and the cool Gardena High baseball cap!
Spent over 4 hours on a ride along with Torrance Police Sergeant Ron Salary to get a better appreciation for the tough job that law enforcement officers have.
We started the morning by going to a 7 Eleven in North Torrance in response to a 911 call of a belligerent homeless man threatening store clerks and customers.
Torrance Police Department responded with several officers de-escalating the situation, but they decided that no crime was committed so no arrest was made.
According to Sgt Salary, over 40 percent of 911 emergency calls involve homeless people threatening harm or disruption that cannot be safely handled by social workers, so officers do the best they can under existing laws.
Sgt Salary is a 25 year veteran Torrance Police officer whose calm, conscientious, professional demeanor really impressed me.
We need to support good cops like Sgt. Salary.
