Police, Sheriff Stations Bar Public After Hours
From Times Staff Reports
Most area police and sheriff stations are inaccessible to residents after hours and do not have armed officers on site at all times, according to a Ventura County Grand Jury report released this week.
Grand jurors visited 10 stations during off-hours to judge safety conditions. Those in Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, Santa Paula and Ventura lock their public lobbies by about 6 p.m. The stations are not staffed with armed officers during nonbusiness hours; other officers are on patrol.
