LA This Week #1404
LA This Week highlights how Los Angeles keeps nearly 10 million residents safe through communication, emergency planning, and public service.
The program begins with a behind-the-scenes look at the City’s Information Technology team, which maintains a network of radio towers that support police, firefighters, and emergency dispatchers every hour of the day. Viewers follow tower climbers as they inspect equipment, replace beacon lights, and weatherproof antennas on Mount Lee, helping ensure first responders stay connected when lives are on the line.
The program also recognizes the people who strengthen public safety across the city. Matthew Nolan is honored as Firefighter of the Year for his leadership, service, and dedication to training future firefighters. The program also promotes NotifyLA, the city’s free emergency alert system, and shares important safety messages about distracted driving, encouraging drivers to stay focused, prepare before trips, and keep their attention on the road.
Community improvement is another major focus. City leaders show how departments worked together to clean up a neglected property in Valley Glen after years of complaints from neighbors. The program also introduces a new public health foundation for Los Angeles County, created to support disease prevention, clean water testing, and other essential health services. Additional segments offer advice from LA Animal Services about flea prevention and protecting pets and families from typhus.
Finally, viewers learn about an arts exhibition honoring musician and educator Reggie Andrews, as well as the launch of a mobile laundry truck serving families and seniors in Chinatown. It ends with upcoming community events and a reminder that as Los Angeles prepares for global events like the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics, every resident has a role in helping build a safer, stronger, and more resilient city.
