PEDRO COUNTY RESULT County: Los Angeles — Los Angeles County, CA; Orange County, CA; Ventura County, CA; San Bernardino County, CA; Kern County, CA Generated At: 2026-10-18 10:00:57 -07:00 Window Start: 2026-10-17 10:00:00 -07:00 Window End: 2026-10-18 10:00:00 -07:00 Coverage Level: moderate Search Summary: Completed 5 county broad queries, 5 county direct-source queries, 5 alias queries, 5 category passes, opened or directly reviewed 12 candidate pages/results, attempted 1 blocked-source recoveries, and accepted 3 incident blocks (3 validated, 0 provisional). Coverage Notes: All assigned counties received both mandatory query types; principal aliases and all five category passes were checked. Official/public-safety, local, regional, fire/rescue, traffic, and emergency source families were reviewed. Coverage is moderate; low volume reflects the candidate ledger after v5 re-review, not skipped counties. Known Gaps: - Some agency pages expose only current indexes or limited archives; accessible alternates and established local sources were used where available. - No incident coordinates were retained because structured lookups did not yield a source-verified decimal scene location; no centroids were invented.
