context_page_description: Maywood is a small Gateway city in Los Angeles County. At 1.18 square miles, Maywood is the third-smallest incorporated city in Los Angeles County. It is bordered by the cities of Bell on the south, Vernon on the north and west, Huntington Park on the southwest, and Commerce on the east. It is the most densely-populated city in California, and has the highest proportion of Latinos, immigrants, and undocumented immigrants in the county.
  As of July 1, 2010, Maywood became the first municipality in California to outsource all of its city services, dismantling its police department, laying off all city employees except for the city manager, city attorney and elected officials, and contracting with outside agencies for the provision of all municipal services. The population was 27,395 at the 2010 census.
context_section_description: Due to financial crisis the city officials in Maywood disbanded the Maywood Police Department and contracted with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services. In August 2010, the Sheriff's Department went out walking in Maywood streets and knocking on residents' doors to survey the safety and policing needs in the community. The nearby East Los Angeles Sheriff's Station will address non-emergency police questions and concerns including requests for police reports.
  Fire protection in Maywood is provided by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Ambulance transport is provided by Care Ambulance Service. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will continue to provide police and aerial support to the city of Maywood.
  The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services operates the Whittier Health Center in Whittier, serving Maywood.
  The United States Postal Service Maywood Post Office is located at 4357 Slauson Avenue.
