In September 2014, a "no hit shooting" occurred [in the 1 a.m. hour] one block east in the 1200 of E. 4th St...and LBPD subsequently located a suspect and made an arrest.

Also in Sept. 2014, a Council majority approved without dissent, a FY15 (Oct 2014-Sept. 15) budget (recommended by both current Mayor Garcia and former Mayor Foster) that fails to fund (for the second year in a row) LBPD's now-former field anti-gang unit. The field anti-gang unit previously deployed twenty officers officers plus two sergeants in gang impacted areas where they could interact with residents and gather intelligence. LBPD continues to maintain a conventional gang unit (often working indoors on investigations and the like) but L.A. County's second largest city no longer has the field anti-gang unit that LB taxpayers had until September 2012.
