LAPD Newton Community Station
The Los Angeles Police Department’s Newton Division is dedicated to building trust, ensuring safety, and strengthening partnerships with residents and stakeholders across South Los Angeles. As a vital part of the LAPD’s South Bureau, Newton Division plays a central role in fostering a safer, more vibrant community through proactive policing, community collaboration, and transparency.
Newton Division proudly serves the following neighborhoods:
Adams-Normandie, Central-Alameda, Historic South-Central, South Park, University Park, Vermont Square, and portions of Downtown South Los Angeles. These diverse and dynamic communities represent the heart of South LA, rich in culture, resilience, and civic pride.
With a team of over 300 sworn and civilian personnel, Newton Division is committed to making South LA a place where all residents feel safe and heard. Our officers work hand-in-hand with local schools, neighborhood groups, businesses, and non-profits to ensure that our strategies reflect the needs and priorities of the people we serve.
As part of this effort, we invite you to take part in our Resident Engagement Survey. This brief, anonymous survey gives you the opportunity to share your experiences, opinions, and ideas about public safety, police visibility, and trust. Your input will directly inform station-level strategies, help shape outreach programs, and support our broader mission of community-based policing.
Your voice matters. Join us in shaping the future of policing in South Los Angeles.
