December 2007 ISSUE
We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and CID/HOA board of directors and report the facts!
The Chief's Corner, or the Chief in a Corner?
Chiefly, Mum is the Word on Coto de Caza Public Safety Awareness
November
17, 2007
CHP’s
chief Elzig actively promotes public awareness in
order to prevent traffic accidents (she refers to
traffic accidents as preventable incidents) – The
Varo/Mezger CZ board of directors instead of allowing
her to send a public safety awareness message
during board meetings, the CZ board of directors
instead, turned control of a board meeting to a
producer to promote a trashy TV reality show.
Fast
forward to November 2007 – the trashy TV show is
constantly featured on local media, but this time
there is a Chief’s Corner in the official CZ
newsletter. Lt. Griffin pledges additional
patrols, “not because of any crime increase in the
area”.
Noting
that the Sheriff is Coming, the Sheriff is
Coming! line has often been used by the CZ
board, and the sheriff never comes, we asked Lt.
Griffin and Sheriff’s spokesperson Jim Amormino for
a breakdown of enforcement hours per month allocated
to the Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch communities for
2007.
Further,
to pick up on any potential public awareness momentum,
we offered Lt. Griffin space in the Cot
We
also notified Lt.
Griffin that the OCSD statistics does show an increase
in crime and vandalism around the Coto de Caza
community.
We
have not heard from either Lt. Griffin or Jim
Amormino.
However, history seems to be repeating itself, as there has not been any visible Sheriff’s presence around the community in 2007.
