The Hollywood Park City Council meeting on May 20, 2025, highlighted a significant push towards enhancing emergency medical services in the community. The medical director announced that the transition from Basic Life Support (BLS) to Advanced Life Support (ALS) is nearing completion, pending a crucial site visit from the Department of Health and Human Services. This upgrade aims to improve patient care, with the medical director expressing urgency, stating, "We've waited 2 months... we had patients that we needed to treat but we're unable to because the state hasn't approved us yet."

Once the state grants approval, the community will be informed through various channels, including social media, to ensure residents are aware of the enhanced services at no additional cost, thanks to the University Health System covering the necessary supplies.

In addition to the medical updates, the police department reported a busy April, with 259 calls for service and three arrests. Notably, they are investigating a scam involving a company called Give Back Auctions, which has reportedly defrauded residents out of significant sums. The police are encouraging victims to come forward, emphasizing the importance of community awareness in combating such scams.

The meeting also touched on public safety issues, including the need for residents to heed roadwork barricades and the rising prevalence of storage unit burglaries. The police chief urged residents to report stolen license plates, as these are often used by thieves to disguise stolen vehicles.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to improving emergency services and public safety, with officials actively engaging the community to foster awareness and cooperation.
