April 2008 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!
Public Safety Owners and Orphans
March
19,
2008
Invariably when we publish public
safety statistics, proponents of the status quo
ridicule our analysis and detractors use the law of
attributions to invoke the proverbial “it’s not
mine/their job”.
We continue to assert that it takes
a community to fight crime, any crime, including
residents, local government and the various law
enforcement agencies. It requires understanding crime of opportunity dynamics,
public awareness, engineering and leadership.
Take for instance the perennial Safest City
participant of Thousand Oaks: If you ask public
officials, law enforcement agents and residents,
more than likely most respondents
would place public safety at the top of their
priority list, then would gfgo on to name something
they are doing about it.
Although Rancho Santa Margarita is
not too far behind Thousand Oaks, there is not as much
concerted effort in terms of tacking public safety
issues.
Take for instance a letter sent to the OC
Sheriff’s Department by Assemblyman Todd Spitzer
last December:
I
want to extend my sincerest congratulations to the
City of Mission Viejo and to Mission Viejo Police
Services for receiving the distinction as the Safest
City in the Nation by the CQ Press.
This distinguished honor is a testament to your
leadership within the department and your commitment
to public safety.
I am honored and proud that Mission Viejo has consistently ranked among the top ten safest cities in the nation since the inception of the Safest City and Metropolitan Area Awards 14 years ago. Your officers are to be commended for their dedication to protecting citizens, enforcing laws, and preventing crimes. I applaud your diligent efforts in preserving the standard of safety our community has come to pride itself on.
Again, congratulations on this extraordinary distinction. It is well deserved.
Sincerely,
Todd
Spitzer
Assemblymember, 71st District"
The question is, how are the RSM
residents, government officials and the various law
enforcement agencies doing to make sure the city
continues to be included in the ranking of the safest
cities? For
that matter, what is Coto de Caza doing to improve
public safety? Public
safety success has many owners – failure is an
orphan!
