Deputies of this Department often come in contact with persons who either have a drinking problem or who are being adversely affected by a person with a drinking problem. While our primary concern is keeping the peace, it is beneficial if we can provide information to such people to help alleviate their problems. This may reduce the incidence of repeated calls to the same location.
By referring persons who desire help with alcohol related problems to the Alcoholism Council, we provide a valuable service and help to meet the needs of the community. The telephone number for the Council is (213) 384-0403. If 24-hour referral is needed they suggest that the Deputy contact Alcoholics Anonymous at (323) 936-4343.
