National Bike Registry

Bicycle thefts are on the rise throughout Los Angeles county, yet too few people either register their bicycles or do not know their bikes serial numbers. This can often make it difficult, if not impossible, for police departments to reunite recovered bikes with their rightful owner.

Since 1984, the National Bike Registry (NBR®) has been working with law enforcement to return stolen bikes to their rightful owners. To learn more about the National Bike Registry.

Missing Persons

If your child is missing, pick up the phone and call your local police department to make a police report. A recent photo of your child is very important. It's a good idea to know who your children's friends are, where they live and how to get in touch with them in an emergency. Too many times parents have no idea who their children's friends are or where they live.

National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing each year - more than 2,000 children every day. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) offers easy-to-use safety resources to help address both parental challenges to prevent missing children as well as a database to search for missing children.

Protective Orders & Victim Information

Court Protective Orders (Restraining Orders)

Courts may issue protective orders, also known as restraining orders, directing an abuser to stop harassing and to “keep away” from a victim and/or the victim’s children. These orders do not guarantee the abuser will stop the abuse, but they do allow law enforcement to take action to remove the abuser. The types of protective orders include:

  • Emergency Protective Order (EPO) - When the police are called to the scene of a domestic violence incident, they may call a judge on a 24- hour basis and obtain a temporary protective order for the victim by telephone.
  • Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) / Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) - A victim may go on his/her own to a local courthouse and request a civil protective order at no cost. Many courts have staff members available to help with the filing process. For help and instructions on obtaining a domestic violence restraining order call the L.A. County Superior Court at 213-974-5587.
  • Criminal Protective Order (CPO) - When a criminal case if filed, the court may, on its own motion or at the prosecutor’s request, issue appropriate protective orders. Criminal orders have priority over any conflicting civil and dependency court orders.
  • Out-of-State Domestic Violence Protective Order - A victim entering California with a protective order issued by another state will be afforded protection here provided certain conditions are met. The victim must register the out-of-state order with the local superior court.
