Temple City, CA

LASD helicopter loudspeaker announcements over Temple City, California are NOT recorded in a public log under CPRA — but you can usually find out what was said by calling the patrol station that requested the air support. **Three steps**: (1) **Call the LASD Temple Station** at **8838 Las Tunas Dr, Temple City CA 91780**, phone (626) 285-7171 — this is the patrol station for Temple City and surrounding San Gabriel Valley areas. They'll have a CAD log entry for the incident that prompted the helicopter response (e.g., 'pursuit Hwy 10 / Rosemead Blvd', 'perimeter for armed suspect'). They can usually tell you the general nature of the call without filing a formal request. (2) **CPRA records request** via https://lasd.org for the dispatch CAD log and any related incident report — submit in writing under Cal. Gov. Code § 7920 with the date, time, and approximate location. CAD logs are typically released within 10 business days. **What's released**: time, location, call type ('Suspicious Person', 'In Pursuit', 'Perimeter', 'Welfare Check'). **What may be redacted**: identifying info on victims/witnesses, juvenile names, active-investigation details (Penal Code § 6254(f)). (3) **LASD helicopter call recordings**: there's no public real-time recording line, but third-party listeners run scanner sites like Broadcastify (https://www.broadcastify.com) which archive LASD Air-5 helicopter audio for the past few days. **Note**: LASD has been sued multiple times (2022–2024) for refusing to disclose helicopter-fleet records, and the Department has internal transparency policies on loudspeaker announcements (see LASD's 2023 transparency response letter). Loudspeaker announcements are typically used to give standard verbal commands (Surrender / Stay in your vehicle / Identify yourself) and to broadcast canine warnings prior to deployment.
