LAPD Collaborates with CIRCLE Program to Tackle Homelessness-Related Non-Emergency Calls in Venice

- In response to a report of a violent altercation involving a parking lot attendant, Los Angeles Police Officers swiftly arrived at Venice Beach on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. However, upon interviewing the attendant, it was revealed that the alleged assailant had not physically assaulted him but had resorted to verbal aggression. The individual appeared to be under the influence of substances at the time. Since no physical harm had occurred, the police determined there were limited options for their immediate intervention.
Consequently, the Los Angeles Police Officers reached out to the Crisis and Incident through Community-Led Engagement (CIRCLE) program, seeking their expertise in managing the situation. The primary objective of CIRCLE is to provide comprehensive support to individuals experiencing homelessness through outreach and housing services.
Upon arrival, the CIRCLE team engaged with the distressed individual, who noticeably calmed down and displayed a receptive attitude towards the offered outreach. Recognizing that CIRCLE had effectively defused the situation and was equipped to provide further assistance, the Los Angeles Police Officers decided to resume their patrol of the Venice Boardwalk.
It is worth noting that multiple complaints had been received regarding the individual's intimidating behavior towards others in the area, further highlighting the necessity of addressing homelessness-related issues.
The CIRCLE program, which recently launched, aims to establish an alternative response system for non-emergency 911 calls concerning homelessness. By implementing Crisis Response Teams (CRTs) and Proactive Embedded Response Teams (PERTs), CIRCLE ensures a proactive presence within the community to address non-violent situations involving individuals experiencing homelessness.
The program's scope covers specific reporting districts in Venice and parts of Del Rey, operating within the City and County of Los Angeles, as well as Congressmember Ted Lieu's district.
CRTs, comprising a mental or behavioral health clinician along with two crisis or homeless outreach practitioners, will be available round the clock to respond to non-emergency calls related to homelessness. CIRCLE personnel are unarmed and will not engage in any law enforcement duties. They are not equipped to handle violent situations or life-threatening emergencies. Examples of suitable situations for CIRCLE's involvement include well-being checks, indecent exposure incidents, loitering or trespassing issues, noise complaints, syringe disposal, and other non-emergency requests for assistance related to individuals experiencing homelessness, provided there is no immediate danger, threat, or potential for violence.
The collaboration between the Los Angeles Police Department and the CIRCLE program represents a proactive effort to address homelessness-related concerns, emphasizing outreach, and comprehensive support as essential components of effective intervention.

Bring back mental State Hospitals it would be better money getting people help rather than 10 cops standing around one guy
Reagan, decades ago closed them.
I don't think people like you can ever even begin to understand how these places were thank God we closed most of them down and no I am not saying some people should not be in the hospital but we must do things right and prober we have a dreadful history of treating people with mental illness mental health ect we need so much more resources in the community .
When people are a threat to themselves, or to others, they need to be held in the psychiatric center. The law allows that and this guy clearly is a danger and a ticking time bomb.
I just made a post along the same lines of yours, decades ago people like him were out of society, now he is feet from a playground as you can clearly see in the video
@@drewzuromski6289 you can thank pres reagan.
@@nancyfahey7518 why Regan ?
@@RayBaker-ee7nd Reagan and the Republicans pulled the funding on federal mental institutions creating a homeless crisis in the 80s that we still have today
@@nancyfahey7518 Liar.
The best part about all this is reading comments from people who do NOTHING to try to and help the situation.
What would do? Besides talk?
Where's your installed presidunce ?Governors and mayors
Welcome to BBB and the diminished future .
And what have you done? Point a finger and you have 4 pointing back!
These ppl need to be institutionalized
Democrats got rid of ALL that.
Poor man.. who knows what he have gone through.
Slava Ukraina!
Did any of you notice that 7 foot tall black man with his pants undone exposing himself when he first stood up. Send your daughters and wives out to jog with these people out there. See how you feel about it then

I’m glad to see cops call someone who cares and not just shoot people……Hope he gets the help he needs
You love criminals and hate the police
He looks like he eats well.
Poor dude needs some assistance.

Awesome work!! Thank you, everyone!

No one told them to become drug addicts. They had enough sanity before they went this far down the road.
Did they? That's some drunk assumption on your part...
@@svenvaltik5657 you think people are born drug addicts and mentally ill from over use. Your reasoning like them addicts.
Religion makes drug addicts fake god says its OK to overdose because he will just make you the god of fake gods for eternity so hurry up and Overdose now!
The guy that showed up with the circle crew holding the tablet looks disturbed.
I read a comment saying it makes no sense he being big and strong and can't get a job .Really? would you hire him no home no ID probably and addictions and Mentally Down?
This dude is a prime candidate for a 5150 plus he stole an item from that shop, the cop just retrieved it and returned it, wtf! Whoever deals with him needs to be wearing a hazmat suite and armed with a loaded traqulizer gun! 😎
No Brasil tbm está, acontecendo a mesma coisa,em relação as pessoas com problemas mentais, fecharam todos os hospitais psiquiátricos está um caos, eu acredito que no mundo todo ,vai acontecer isso , global, todos os governantes e políticos querem caos eles não estão preocupados 😢..no Brasil, educação e saúde, o governo so arrecada e agora querem acabar com aposentadoria, todos os setores, esta um caos ,o Brasil meu Pais ,tem de tudo,mas não temos pessoas honestas para governar tds corruptos..
sim,e a aposentadoria eh uma merreca
Bravo police vous êtes professionnel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They're scared to death of this giant
Nah, if they're scared of anything its smcu's camera, otherwise this is an easy zap and go
São pessoas que precisam de ajudar elas não pediram para nascer assim não deve ser descartadas pela sociedade como lixo humano!!!
Good
Proper city management would fix this problem in a short time. Cleaning up after them is no cure. and I imagine must be very expensive
شكرا
Dare I ask what Circle is? Spend more time with names than action. Mental institutions were closed by late 90's. People were released on their own. Around me they were told go to AA meetings for help and a place to go.
Did they do anything?
Mare do mua ghe so nao!
And I didn’t believe in big foot until now!! lol 😂
I can't help but think about a big able bodied man with nothing better to do than walk the beach? You know how many jobs he could do?
He can’t do any job. Can’t you see and hear? He is mentally I’ll!
When I walk around various areas in LA/SoCa, including parks or parking lots, etc, I notice litter all over the place. Even more so if someone paid me, I'd gladly pick up the refuse. I always feel if people on public assistance (or tending to homeless encampments) can do something as basic as that, cities like LA should look cleaner. Or at least a bit less of a mess.
@@gridley .... please @gridley.... Can you run for mayor...I will vote for you.....and my neighbours will.....
I think instead of harassing him maybe offer him some clothes that fit and some shoes😢 definitely was a big man!
Dianna L Barnes.....that there is where the problem lies. Why? Why give this filthy foul mouthed health hazard anything but a ride to the jail. Could you not hear his bad language, his inability to cooperate with the law enforcement officer's. It's not right to walk around that filthy, that abusive with no care or respect for women and children and other people in general. I could go on but I think you get my point.
@@nojnoj3069 Exactly great points enough with the baby glove coddling and time for some real action and enforcing our laws.
No I couldn't hear him saying anything, too much noise in the background! And never put people down no matter who they are they're all God's children no matter what for no matter how rich you are something could happen to you!! And I'm not from where we see this kind of stuff we help people around that we see that need help maybe that's why we don't see them.🙏🙏🙏
@@diannalbarnes4190o worries, the government will be bringing these conditions to your town soon.
We have over a quarter million homeless in California. Millions of illegals & millions more of their offspring.
3rd generation Californian here. Born in a homogeneous Christian conservative SAFE hometown (zero homeless). Today our population has experienced an 80% foreign replacement. My hometown is unrecognizable unsafe cesspool with gang violence, criminality, drugs, thousands of homeless.
Being a Christian means having discernment NOT irrational tolerance.
For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe one with rags.
yep that program works so well keep implementing them into other cities!🤦♂️
The police are afraid to arrest him. Fact is they Really have no reason to start with. Now they realize he mentally ill they dont know what to do.
This man here could be very dangerous! He has a army of police near him because they know he could be a threat to other's! He stole, so why wasn't he taken to jail? Or to a hospital for 5150?
It's L.A. Crime is OK in L.A. They love their criminals more than their hard working, law-abiding citizens.
Gigante
He is still walking around mean mugging people seeing who he can mess with.
How is that dude still free to live at the beach? He’s a ticking time bomb! He should be put away.
fiquei com receio de que os policiais fossem machucar o rapaz, ele estava precisando de ajuda muita ajuda , que meu DEUS o abençoe sempre .Brasil.
Anh ta to khỏe mà không kiếm việc làm thật vô lý...
It's probably a good program but I want to see down the road what happens
That dude’s big!😮
The crows make it seem like a Stephen King horror movie 🎥
How do they all end up on the beach?
how do other countries deal with this ?
Different socioeconomic circumstances.
nada,,simplesmente olham e nada,,deixam o ir
CIRCLE as in they undoubtedly will just circle right around the system and end up on the same street corner different tent minus a couple mates.
❤
Six cops they're all afraid it is one guy
Until there is a law passed against being crazy and reopening the mental hospitals, nothing can or will be done, unless a person volunteers for treatment. Treatment is not forced on anyone, for any health condition. Breaking a law, yes, being annoying While in a mental health state that is not good, is not against the law.
Yes until he kills someone
@@FreddieandBrenda let's arrest someone on what they might do in the future. Do that and they'll take you for everything you have. 😂 Let's violate his rights
Not sure when mental heath hospitals closed ??? Was that back when Sears closed ? Mental heath hospitals never closed bro . Bellevue has been open for 125 years ish 😊
Reagan and the GOP defunded the mental institutions
@S. Rocco you need a history lesson son, Ronald Reagan did it in the 80s that is what she's referring to and she's correct
While back I was talking to a African American lady at a gas station. I went home got some food and clothing for her. She was talking to people that didn’t even exist and she told me she was suicidal and wanted to go to mental health facility. I called PD and EMS to help her. Before that I called numerous shelters just so she could sleep inside. Nobody wouldn’t pick her up, and I sure wasn’t taking her anywhere in my car in the middle of the night. After all this, police and paramedics she just walked away in the night. Help was offered to her, right there and than and she rejected it. When I came home one of the bags that she didn’t take had a copper wires, she left it in by mistake, she was on crack. Now, how do you help druggies? I am just lucky she didn’t killed me. Be careful and safe everybody.
You should have the NAACP or BLM or some so-called civil rights group and inform them that one of their own was in the need of help to see what response you would get.
@@sgtsims512 Like all good DEM politicians and orgs there'd only be an answering machine...
That's fkn racist asf! But what can we expect from a Karen or Daren always bitching about some racist sht
When I was in the hospital one time, a guy told me that he wanted to kill a lady because she offered him food instead of giving him money for drugs, crazy😢
The same government is key to drug trafficking into this country..
This social situation is very easy to resolve: just a police officer like that takes the guy to his house and gives him understanding.

being homeless u get lots of free treatment from free medical free hotel room free food free drugs etc
Esse tem que ir para o hospício
Now thats a big African! What did he do wrong?
He's not African, he's a disowned naughty Sasquatch.
I bet he has teretz
Remember, just say no to drugs. 😉👍
When you have more than five people around you saying they don’t want you around. It’s clearly time to go.
False title, they didn't even touch this guy much less tackle him lol
so when you call 911 and they say their are no units available you know why
Damn straight!
Right on, this is an easy call for them. Then it's lunchtime.
Amem eukeho joseniso xavie dio livera ❤🎉❤❤
Wow did they really close the mental health facilities even I had to have help
Yes and they refuse to reopen them, even though we give 2.6 billion to the Ukraine.
One freaking bag of McDonald’s…. That dude follow you all the way to Vancouver! 😂. Why am I not in charge ?😮
What's up with the illuminati logos on those guy jackets.

Specifically to the big ape on the beach, if I was there I would have left with my whole family because he was a ticking timebomb. If the officers tazed his you-know-what and taken him away I would have stayed and enjoyed the beach and spent loads of money on the boardwalk. It's up to you California.
mACACO????????????voce deve ser processado po descriminacao racial
En curacao y holanda los pasan un anguwa kada 3 meses
At one point eight people were surrounding this guy. I wonder what the amount of taxpayer money it took to deal with him.
I'm not even sure what he was doing other than sleeping. Did he threaten or harass someone?
Yeah that's something that I notice in all these videos they always have like an army of people for just a handful of people
I also wonder why there are almost ten people needed for one person.
Prevention is better than cure
Tell me you're a rich conservative jerk without telling me you're a rich conservative jerk...you'll go first. lol! Anyone who says, "I'm a tax paying citizen" is a jerk and has not gone through anything tough that's basically what you're telling me.
Absolute madness. Total waste of tax payers money. These..... people don't want help and don't deserve help. Wipe the streets clean of this garbage once and for all.
Menos mal. Ya. Seria. El colmo
He needs a lobotomy to prevent hurting himself and other people around him.
“I ain’t dun shit!”
Why don’t they arrest this crazy man?
I guess because he didn't hurt anyone. But he clearly isn't stable.
@ ...law enforcement officer's have arrested people for far less than he was doing....am I right?
What a waste of an officers time. Babysitting a sick man. These people need to be put in mental institutions so our officers can get back to protecting citizens.
The homeless man looks to me to have Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. Symptoms are jerking movements, Yelling cuss words uncontrollably and Tics. If he were a smaller man he wouldn't look so threatening but this is a big man. People probably got scared and called police. CBD oil could calm his dopamine overload but pharmaceutical meds don't work on Tourette.
Thanks' RUclips Doctor.
@@mtnride4930My son had the same. He was medicated and it made him sick. He passed in 2015 at age 32. A side effect of the medication. Be happy you are healthy. Its a horrible sickness as people always stare and judge.
@@vogeltik Now that is how you put context to a comment. Sorry for your loss.
Tudo nele ta triste,,problemas mentais nitidos
The Supreme Court yesterday ruled against re-hearing a case decided by the 9th Circuit Court awhile ago. The 9th previously stated that the city of Boise's law against homelessness was cruel & unusual punishment. Several cities, including LA, supported Boise taking the decision to the Supreme Court. Incidentally, the 9th oversees the Western US, which may be one reason why homelessness & sidewalk encampments keep growing worse & worse up & down the cities of the Pacific coast. Anti-loitering laws were in effect & enforced decades ago, but CA, etc, is now the wild, wild West.
Rightfully so..
The right to shelter yourself and lay down to rest is an unalienable human right.
Idaho is the last decent state left in the country.
Have you seen the dirty South? Homeless central. Take drive down I-40 East….enjoy.
All these comments about the homeless situation from the right-wing are not legitimate because Reagan and the GOP started all of this by defunding mental institutions in the 80s.
Seems to be a lot short chubby cops doing nothing.,guy didn't appear to be dangerous.....😂😂😂😂😂😮

How many cops does it take to handle one homeless person?
You go take him home with you, if you care so much about the homeless, do not just sit and complain
Deixo o homem viver coitado tem o direito de andar como as outras pessoas deixa o homem em paz
Why do so many cops just stand there at look at this guy? It ended with the homeless scary guy just sitting in his homeless encampment near the sand. He needed to be removed and sent to an institution for mentally unstable people. I’m sure everyone that lives right there who pay their mortgage and taxes are furious with scary homeless people who loiter around their homes. Notice how the homeless people have good taste in where they set up their encampments, right on the beach! Where most people dream of living!
They are looking at that guy like “oh crap we are going to get hurt taking him down”! You get him No you get him. Not me. I aint getting him. So lets just stand and watch.
....they didn't want to touch him because he was truly stinky!
Okay, so it's cool to act violent and be tweaked out. Cops will just say no problem.
What’s with the all seeing eye logo for circle that is not creepy at all
Failed to see Circles inclusion here, forgive me, I’m an Englishman living here in London UK, did I see charity workers there?, would have thought that the police would have been enough, what was the outcome please?.
Where's this black guy's family? I hope they come get him before he gets hurts by civilians or cops! Family will only come out when they want to sue the city for money after a tragedy to a mentally ill family member. So, if they are reading this post go get your son, brother, or uncle, before it's to late.
NOIA
Dancing big foot
He's just sitting down --> becomes a TARGET 💀
Look at the size of that guy. He could do some serous damage.
That guy is so lg n seemingly unhinged. Please, someone from the comments go up n try talking some sense into him. I think its easy for us to sit back n say what we think the cops should do.
let people live even a person when he has lost everything
Não entendi nada deste vídeo, parece que os policiais estavam com medo do grandão ou estou errado 😂
Thay first guy needs to be in a mental institution, but they let people in that condition roam the streets near family's with children a stones throw away from a playground a clear and unpredictable danger to society, setting up a cardboard box across the street from you WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO
Can we bill ya for his residency in your made up mental institution?
