Protect the Future of Public Safety in Palos Verdes Estates
Measure PF Replaces Measure E — Protecting Our PVE Police and Fire/EMS Services
Measure PF replaces the expiring Measure E and dedicates funding to our PVE Police Department and Fire/EMS services.
On June 2, 2026, Palos Verdes Estates voters will decide whether to adopt this citizen-led measure to ensure continued, locally controlled funding for the police, fire, and emergency services our community depends on.
By securing these essential services, Measure PF helps keep our community safe while freeing up resources to address long-overdue infrastructure, pension obligations, and financial stability.

Why We Need Measure PF
PVE is pretty unique—we don’t have hotels, large retail centers, or car dealerships generating tax revenue like most cities. Residents are what fund the city. It’s always been this way, and unlike many similar communities, we don’t have an HOA fee.
Measure E (passed in 2018) helped fund police services, but it was always intended as a temporary fix. It didn’t fully fund the City’s needs, and it’s now expiring.
Measure PF replaces that funding, and the revenue is dedicated entirely to our PVE Police Department and Fire/EMS services provided by LA County Fire.
That frees up money for the City to address long-standing priorities we’ve been putting off, including:
Replacing the ~$5.1M in funding lost when Measure E expires
Covering ongoing operating deficits
Paying down pension obligations
Addressing deferred maintenance and aging infrastructure
Rebuilding critical reserves
Putting the City back on a stable, sustainable financial path
Measure PF is designed to ensure that Palos Verdes Estates remains a safe, well-protected community—now and into the future.
A Renewed Funding Measure would:
Maintain Local Law Enforcement
Ensure we retain our independent Palos Verdes Estates Police Department, keeping law enforcement decisions and accountability under local control.
Support Fire Protection & Emergency Medical Services
Provide stable funding to maintain reliable LA County Fire Department and EMS services that protect lives and property across our community.
Preserve 911 Emergency Response Times
Ensure fast, reliable emergency dispatch and response when every second counts.
Help Prevent Home Burglaries, Thefts, and Other Crimes
Support proactive policing, neighborhood patrols, and community safety programs that deter crime and protect our homes.
Without action, our community faces cuts to public safety, growing deficits, and reduced services.
