The Department Operations Center (DOC) provides Department-wide situational awareness as well as providing support for the Department and outside agencies. The DOC monitors all Department active calls for service and arranges for resources and equipment to stations as needed. The DOC monitors open source information and forwards any pertinent information regarding emerging incidents or pre-planned events to the respective Department station or outside agency. The DOC reports important incidents and events (local, state, national, international) to executive staff as well as all the chiefs of police within Los Angeles County. The DOC also makes confidential notifications to executive staff regarding sensitive information, such as employees relieved of duty and employees arrested. The DOC serves as the point of contact for law enforcement agencies requesting information from the LASD.
