Fire Chief Troy Hughes said earlier that the LAFD was hosting the two sessions to gain a better understanding of the Department’s customers’ expectations, to identify community concerns that might exist and to determine the community’s priorities regarding programs and services provided by LAFD. Written input received at the two sessions will be presented to LAFD staff today as part of their strategic planning process.
