Since the City of Long Beach is concerned with the welfare of abandoned newborn infants and because the public is not always aware of the difference between L.A. County Fire Department and Long Beach Fire Department fire stations, the City of Long Beach proactively sought approval to have their fire stations designated as Safe Haven surrender sites. The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors approved this request on November 26, 2002.


DEFINITION
A Safe Haven surrender is when a parent (or other person having lawful custody of a minor child) 72 hours old or younger voluntarily surrenders physical custody to any firefighter on duty at a Long Beach fire station.


POLICY
In accordance with the current Safe Haven law, all Long Beach Fire Department fire stations have been designated Safe Haven surrender sites.
