Who to Call, How to Report
GO Long Beach App
The GO Long Beach app was designed to provide Long Beach residents, businesses and visitors the opportunity to access City Hall 24/7 from anywhere. This is a great tool that can be used to help keep our district clean. Using the Go Long Beach app from your smartphone, you can submit requests for service for things like large dumped items, potholes, graffiti removal, sidewalk vending concerns and more. Click here to learn more about and/or to install the Go Long Beach app.

Trespassing Issues
Specific “No Trespassing” signs may be installed and used in conjunction with a Request for Service form and photo of the installed sign if they are filed with the Long Beach Police Department. The form is good for one year and allows officers, without the property/business owner being present, to request that the trespassers leave a property, or they can effect an arrest/cite upon their refusal.
Click here for full details. You can request a free sign or purchase the required signage at a local Ace Hardware.

Board Meetings
The Wrigley Business Collaborative's board will not be formalized until after City Council is able to ratify the Wrigley Business Collaborative as the city's newest BID. However, a group of volunteers (our Steering Committee Members) meet virtually every Tuesday at 2:30pm to discuss the progress of the project. If you are interested in attending, please reach out.
