Los Angeles Police Department Van Nuys Area

Community Police Advisory Board (C-PAB)

The Community Police Advisory Board (C-PAB) is a group of volunteers who live or work in the Van Nuys Area, comprised of the following neighborhoods:
Sherman Oaks
Van Nuys
Valley Glen
Sherman Village
Valley Village
and a small portion of Studio City.

C-PAB members act as a liaison between the LAPD and the citizens to strengthen the lines of communication.

All C-PAB members will put forth their best effort and participate in agreed upon committee assignments for the betterment of the Community in the Van Nuys Divisional areas.

The C-PAB members advise and inform LAPD’s Van Nuys Area Commanding Officer of the pressing public safety and quality of life concerns on behalf of the Community, an area of 30 square miles with over 325,000 residents.

CPAB started in 1993 and is now an integral part of the 22 Areas in the LAPD jurisdiction.

C-PAB works closely with the Mid Valley Community Police Council (www.midvalleypolicecouncil.org), which supports the employees of the Van Nuys Community Police Station by purchasing equipment, paying for specialized training and supporting the LAPD Youth Programs when funding is limited or not available from LAPD headquarters.
