๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ก๐ง๐๐๐ง: Homeless Liaison Officers Issue Citation on Ocean Avenue
SANTA MONICA, Calif. โ On Friday morning, June 19, 2026, Santa Monica Police officers assigned to the Homeless Liaison Program (HLP) contacted a woman along Ocean Avenue who appeared to be experiencing homelessness and was resting on the sidewalk beside a shopping cart, wheelchair, luggage, and other personal belongings. According to what was witnessed at the scene, officers spoke with the woman for several minutes about her situation. During the contact, officers advised the woman that possession of a shopping cart was prohibited. It was not immediately clear what specific violation led to the citation. After receiving the citation, the woman gathered her belongings, stood up, and appeared to prepare to leave the area. The interaction remained calm throughout, and no arrest was made. The shopping cart was not confiscated, and officers cleared the scene without further incident. Officers also offered information about local homeless services and available resources. The woman remained cooperative during the encounter and continued organizing her belongings after the officers departed. The Santa Monica Police Department's Homeless Liaison Program works with city and county partners to connect individuals experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, or substance-use issues with available support services while also addressing quality-of-life concerns and municipal code violations. The HLP team operates in coordination with social service providers and outreach specialists throughout the city. Santa Monica Closeup documents public safety incidents, community outreach efforts, and quality-of-life issues throughout the city. #SantaMonica #SantaMonicaPolice #HomelessLiaison #Homeless #publicsafety โ โ ๏ธ ๐๐ข๐ฃ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ This video is protected by copyright and provided for personal viewing only.
