Zone Update - Public Safety and Crime Prevention Information
Canyon Country West: Zone 7
My name is Jeremy Carr. I am the Zone Leader Deputy for the Canyon Country West area. I oversee Zone 7 which covers the city area of Canyon Country located west of Sierra Highway as well as the unincorporated area of Saugus along Whites Canyon Rd/Plum Canyon Rd. I will be providing regular updates to the residents of Canyon Country, informing you of public safety information, as well as addressing any crime concerns in Zone 7.
In order to maximize crime prevention in the area, we need the residents to get involved. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department has created several ways for residents to participate in crime prevention.
Following these initial Zone Deputy introductions, I will be sending brief crime snapshots on a regular bases to residents in the area.
