THE OFFICER: Dick Burrow, Foothill Division, (818) 989-8866
THE AREA: Burrow’s northeast Valley beat includes Sun Valley and the Shadow Hills area, a combination of middle-class residential neighborhoods and some industrial and commercial properties. “The biggest crime problem we have right now is residential burglary,” Burrow says.
