Episode Details

Santa Monica is stepping up police presence around the Pier and key neighborhoods after two recent shootings—one involving deadly force in Palisades Park—aiming to boost safety for residents, workers, and visitors alike. A young man was shot during an attempted robbery near the Pier, while another incident saw an officer fatally shoot a knife-wielding suspect in Palisades Park. Authorities have arrested one juvenile and are seeking more suspects. In response, the city is deploying more officers to high-traffic areas, partnering with local businesses, and hosting community events like “Coffee with a Cop.” Despite these incidents, major crime dropped 12% last year, and the department has finally reached full staffing levels after over 20 years.
