(8) 20-1178-S3 CD 15 PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the feasibility of moving the Therapeutic Van Pilot Program from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s (LAFD) Fire Station 40 to another dispatch center in the Harbor Area. Recommendation for Council action, pursuant to Motion (McOsker – Hernandez): INSTRUCT the LAFD, with assistance from the Department of General Services, and in coordination with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, to report within 45 days on the feasibility of moving the Therapeutic Van Pilot Program from Fire Station 40 to another dispatch center in the Harbor Area. This report should provide a list of potential LAFD stations, both active and inactive, within Council District 15 that could serve as dispatch centers for the Therapeutic Vans and should consider the location near arterials or freeways that allows for service and dispatches to be as efficient as possible.
