The Los Angeles Police Department plans to beef up its patrols this holiday weekend.

Police will be out in force all over the city including in Hollywood especially “in the Hills due to house parties and fireworks,” LAPD Sergeant Darrell Davis of the Hollywood Division said.

The LAPD Rampart Division will have “triple the numbers of uniformed officers” out on the beat, according to watch commander Lieutenant Theresa Coyle.
