LOS ANGELES – Councilmember Tim McOsker announced today that Peak Security will be operating in Wilmington, maintaining a presence within the Avalon Merchant Business Improvement District (MBID), covering properties fronting Avalon Boulevard between Opp and Water Streets.
“Safety and security along Avalon Blvd. is crucial to the well-being and prosperity of our community,” said Councilmember Tim McOsker. “By partnering with Peak Security, we are taking the steps to ensure residents, businesses, and visitors feel safe and protected in this important corridor in the Wilmington community.”
Operational hours for Peak Security will span from 8 AM to midnight on Monday and Tuesday, and 8 AM to 2 AM Wednesday through Sunday, ensuring comprehensive coverage to enhance safety and security within the community. This has been made possible through funding from the 15th Council District office using AB1290 Funds which is a funding source for redevelopment and community services in various Council Districts.
“As a small business owner on Avalon Boulevard, I’m thrilled about Peak Security’s return,” said Elizabeth Machuca, owner of Synesthesia Boutique. “Knowing we can collaborate with them to address any potential issues is reassuring. Safety is paramount for our customers, visitors, and employees alike, and having Peak Security back ensures everyone feels protected. I’m grateful for this and look forward to a safer and more prosperous community.”
“It’s great to hear that Council District 15 is bringing back a security team to patrol the Wilmington area,” said Ricardo Sanchez, owner of Maya Restaurant. “As a business owner on Avalon Blvd. it was greatly missed as we often have dangerous and unhealthy activity along the street which sometimes prevents people from patronizing the businesses in this area. On behalf of the community and business in Wilmington, we thank Councilmember McOsker and the Council District 15 staff for providing this service.”
“Having security along Avalon Blvd. has, in the past, helped address issues that are not severe enough for the LAPD but are burdensome for business owners to endure,” Jackie Correa, owner of LA Waterfront Pizza. I’m grateful to have Peak Security back to address these minor disturbances and nuisance activities that detract from the safety and comfort of our local small businesses.”
