LAPD Officer Deon Joseph takes Lisa Biagiottti on his nightly patrol of skid row, which he has walked for the last 18 years. Violent crime has escalated citywide, but on Joseph's beat, he says robberies are up 71%, aggravated assaults by 73% and rapes by 91%. Joseph canvasses Spring to San Pedro, from 3rd to 7th streets. Along the way, he discusses addiction, mental illness and the disastrous effects of a synthetic drug called Spice. He instructs a woman on how to stay safe on the streets, and he remembers the people who have died on his watch.
ON THE STREETS is an ongoing video series on homelessness in Southern California
In this video series, Lisa Biagiotti sets out to put faces to the statistics. But 'the homeless' are united only in that they have no place to live. She meets people on the streets, learns about their experiences and explores the issues they face. Biagiotti is collaborating with Times reporters and our data team to plot where to take her camera next.

We need more cops like him. He's obviously a good man trying to help people.

NOW, this is a policeman. This guy has CLASS, and is a good idea of the perfect policeman, and we would be proud if he was part our community, in fact this officer should be teaching courses to other policeman, and he needs a promotion.

“You can be a police officer and not be a jerk”. Epic quote.

“I’m telling you this because I love you,” he just met her. He is truly a kind human being, we need more of him

One problem I see is that they put an officer like this on the street level. He needs to be a higher up so he can make changes from the inside.

Thank you for your service. 18 years? You have paid your dues 100 times over. God bless.

This guy should have a Netflix series. Instead, we get blindfolded hollywood has-beens rafting. Smh.

What a solid man! He doesn’t judge people by the way they look. They know the struggles and the way of the streets. Harassing or arresting them isn’t helping anything but putting more people in the system.

As an LA native, thank you for this. This is the real, ugly side of LA. The side that all of these influencers and media outlets don’t want you to see. The city of angels needs help

I can't believe a guy with this intellect and personality on a street like this for work. He should be so higher up teaching this behaviour in the police force, clearly he has a brilliant demeanor
