The Los Alamitos Police Department in Los Alamitos, CA, addresses the regional issue of homelessness through their Homeless Liaison Officer program. Specially trained patrol officers serve as the initial point of contact for homeless individuals, assessing their needs and connecting them with a range of solutions and wrap-around services to help them transition off the streets and into self-sustaining situations.
Collaborating with non-profit service providers and governmental agencies, such as City Net and Orange County Mental Health, the Homeless Liaison Officers work to provide individualized support, including housing, employment opportunities, medical care, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services. Their goal is to not only provide short-term answers but also develop permanent solutions for those experiencing homelessness in the community.
