Well crimes are up and Cerritos CC is negotiating annual budget for the LASD.
Please just employ some good security patrol, that will scare away burglars and robbers.
Sell off all of the LASD SUV which came equipped w/ License Plate readers, million dollars of wasted tax payers money, and we still have broken and crumbly sidewalks, streets and tree roots.
City does not need that deteriorating LASD RV Van either, sell for scrap metal. Most of the time it remains unlocked and a home for the homeless at teh sculpture center.
