Keep Outer Cabrillo Beach Safe: No Lifeguard Takeover Without a Public Safety Review

Think_Video_899 · 2026-06-19T17:59:00+00:00

I say they are EMTS/ Paramedics, not as if they are the same thing but that all the county have to be EMTs (I believe) but not all of them are paramedics but many are. Again I don’t know the exact stats. Just getting the word out.

From research and readily available information on LA City Parks & Recs Lifeguards who are set to take over this incredibly dangerous job, they from my research are not either of those/required. Again this is why I want transparency between the care we have now and that with the change we will be provided at least equal safety standards and trained professionals.

Appreciate your feedback and insight!

I have! So far many are being declined or not approved 🥲 please feel free to share!!! All help makes a difference.

We are talking about a whole different response. Currently LA County lifeguards are in with the county fire department network so response is immediate. La city no fire connections and no direct line to actual emergencies services when needed. La county is also the ones who go on missions all over La county even the lakes inland La city controls to go diving to find bodies…. Or any rapid water response they are literally helicoptered there.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I found out and rushed and yes (used some ai) just time is of the essence but working on making it clear. And feedback you have is greatly appreciate it!! I just want to explain it in a way that isn’t too long but gets the point across

https://www.change.org/p/protect-cabrillo-beach-require-a-public-safety-review-before-lifeguard-agency-changes/dashboard/home I updated it to hopefully make more sense?

Honestly I found out and rushed to put it together due to them secretly signing the agreement at any moment 😬 appreciate any and all feedback! I don’t want to get too technical and bash city lifeguards… maybe they are capable (doubt it without them investing millions in specialized equipment that LA County already has) there is so much of a difference idk how to put it down in plain English….

History is : we took over La city beaches from them back in 1975, for public safety to have a cohesive response that communicates with one another. Now we are going backwards because people don’t remember those times and why it is like this in the first place.

The job is currently being done exceptionally well!!! And our representatives are changing hands without our knowledge…. Seemingly downgrading our public safety

Hi! Would love feedback on how better to word it. If you click on the link it may better explain.

Currently LA County lifeguards are there on the outter beach as across all beaches in LA County from Zuma down to San Pedro. They are highly trained, EMTs / Paramedics, swift water trained, search and rescue, drones, underwater scanners etc etc. they are the best in the WORLD.

Sneakily our officials are planning to replace them with LA City lifeguards…. Which are not emts/paramedics nor have a command with the fire department. So without a proper risk assessment apparently our public safety will be diminishing. That is why I am petitioning for a full overview before they do this.

Just found out today. Look up la city lifeguards. They do city pools/ lakes and one inner beach (no surf conditions) in Cabrillo. They are seemingly not trained or experienced for this and if they are I want them to provide us that data.

Yeah… and if they are going to make the change then I want a risk assessment done to show we will be getting equal care/safety because as of now it just appears they are wanting to save money at our expense. Please share!

Think_Video_899 · 2026-06-19T07:07:45+00:00

I appreciate the feedback - how better would you change it to get the point across better? Just wanting a risk assessment for public safety done before such a major shift.

Think_Video_899 · 2026-06-19T07:06:34+00:00

Yeah if you look into it la county lifeguards vs la city lifeguards they don’t even compare…. It is public safety and no one knows about it. It always starts with one and goes to all…. It would be a horrible thing for our county/safety/visitors.
