Crescenta Valley Station Honored with International Award

Los Angeles Sheriff's Department's , serving La Cañada Flintridge and La Crescenta, has received an international award from the Altus Global Alliance, a group of six non-governmental and academic centers located throughout the world. 

The honor recognizes achievement by police agencies all over the world based on assessments provided by residents touring their local station. Criteria for the honor  include the station’s physical condition, detention conditions, community involvement, transparency and accountability.

The CV Station placed third overall in the international competition judging best law enforcement practices, following only stations in Palmdale and South Los Angeles. It was Crescenta Valley’s first time participating in the Altus program that took place in 21 countries. In the United States, 27 stations took part.

“Crescenta Valley Station is very honored to have received recognition internationally from the Altus Global Alliance,” Captain David Silversparre said.  He explained that earlier in the year, community members received a tour and detailed history of the station.

Silversparre shared the commendation with all who make the station work on a day-to-day basis.

“I believe it is very much of a team effort to provide the highest level of law enforcement service possible.  Team members include the station staff, the many volunteers, and the community.”

Councilman Don Voss believes the city is very fortunate to be served by such an excellent police force, he said. 

“The station’s personnel have been very keenly attuned to the needs of our community, and in fact, through their visibility and outstanding community service, have become an integral part of day-to-day life in La Cañada Flintridge.”
