LOS ANGELES—Nearly a year after LA’s top cop Sheriff Alex Villanueva deployed his deputy homeless outreach team on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, Villanueva is eyeing Hollywood as the next location to clear out homeless encampments.

“It’s going to be a collaborative effort, we’re gonna make sure that place is spotless and suitable for people to be a tourist destination like it’s supposed to be,” Villanueva said during a Facebook Live on April 6.
