Harbor City is a community of approximately 25,000 residents, located within the city of Los Angeles, California near Lomita and Wilmington. In an effort to reduce prostitution activity, local law enforcement has conducted street-level reverse stings in the community since at least 1995. More recently, in November 2010, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Harbor Community Policing Station conducted a street-level reverse sting using an undercover female officer as a decoy. The operation resulted in the arrest of 7 johns. Their identities were not released to the public.
