INTERESTING COP STATS IN OC REGISTER
May 28, 2007--We constantly hear that the Costa Mesa Police Department is understaffed. If true, then what are we to make of these statistics from page Local 4 in the OC REGISTER today?
Ratios of cops per 1,000 residents in Orange County cities with more than 100,000 residents:
Costa Mesa: 1.43
Orange 1.17
Anaheim 1.16
Fullerton: 1.14
Huntington Beach: 1.14
Santa Ana: 1.12
Brea/Yorba Linda 1.01
Garden Grove: 0.97
Irvine: 0.91
In other words, Costa Mesa has more cops per 1,000 residents than any other comparably sized city in the county.
You will also note that Irvine, which consistently comes in as one of the safest cities in the U.S., has the lowest ratio of cops to residents.
So why is Costa Mesa's crime rate so high? The answer is that our city has been turned into an unofficial illegal alien sanctuary by years and years of libs running this city.
It's only been since the improvers came on the scene about seven years ago that Costa Mesa has started turning back toward being the great city that it should be.
If the improvers can keep electing good people to the City Council so that they're in the majority, Costa Mesa will continue to improve, our crime rate will fall, our schools will start getting better, our homes will appreciate, and our quality of life will increase.
On the other hand, if the evil-doers start getting their people back in control of the City Council you can expect Costa Mesa to begin going more and more the way of Santa Ana.
