According to the motion presented by O'Farrell's office, Hollywood's resources are exceeded by the demand for public safety.
"Hollywood is as diverse, if not more, than any other part of the city itself, and having more resources concentrated in this area would be beneficial to ensuring public safety, particularly to the most vulnerable of society," the motion says.""People need to feel safe when they're in Hollywood," said Blake Chow, Deputy Chief for the Los Angeles Police Department.
