Actually, Chief, and with all due respect, before you were on board, and while the police force had staffing of 160 +- officers, many officers wouldn't respond to such calls anyway.
Many just sneered at citizens. In fact, one of the motivations for Assemblyman Mansoor to get into local politics was because the cops wouldn't do anything about such nuisances in his then neighborhood.
I could fill several pages with complaints I've heard about some CMPD cops.

FATAL STABBING OF 12-YEAR-OLD MAY BE LINKED TO TAGGING CREW RIVALRY
Maybe you recall some out of town Costa Mesa cops trying to mollify citizens in Costa Mesa about the graffiti here mostly just being from tagging crews and not gang bangers.

WONDER WHERE ALL THE MONEY YOU PAY CITY EMPLOYEES GOES AT NIGHT TO CIRCULATE IN GROCERY STORES AND WITH OTHER MERCHANTS? WONDER WHERE THE EMPLOYEES PUT THEIR KIDS IN SCHOOLS AND WHERE THEY ARE PART OF A COMMUNITY?
We have the five-digit zip codes of where all city employees live.
49 employees take your money to Huntington Beach.
43 employees take your money to Santa Ana.
39 employees take your money to Irvine.
32 employees take your money to Mission Viejo.
29 employees take your money to Corona.
29 employees take your money to Laguna Beach.
25 employees take your money to Orange.
22 employees take your money to Rancho Margarita.
22 employees take your money to Anaheim.
15 employees take your money to Tustin.
13 employees take your money to Westminster.
11 employees take your money to Lake Forest.
10 employees take your money to Newport Beach.
10 employees take your money to Coto de Caza.
We've just shown the double digit money drain above. There are many other individual employees who go back to Pomona, Carlsbad, Oceanside, SanMarcos, Lake Elsinore, Idyllwild, Moreno Valley, etc.
Of the 575 employee zip codes we have, 472 of them are not in Costa Mesa.

TRUST US WE'RE THE COSTA MESA POLICE DEPARTMENT
Wonder why Steve Mensinger didn't bother to file a police report over the hate crime attack on him?Check out the sign that some cops came to our city and dragged around behind a Cadillac Escalade as they tried to defeat Jim Righeimer and put a puppet with a DUI on his record on the City Council. Say, what about all that holier than thou talk from the CMPD about drinking and driving?
And, what about the cops who are leaking internal police matters to the public in frequent hate comments in the Daily Pilot?
Don't forget about the cop who used a department GPS device to stalk a woman.
Trust us we're the CMPD. Right.
By the way, the daily papers are characterizing this attack on Mensinger as vandalism.
It's more than that.
Mensinger is a City Councilmember and he was apparently targeted as such and because of that.
This appears to be an attempt to terrorize Mensinger into not doing his job as a Councilmember. This was like a warning from the mob to vote the way they want. This was a horse's head in a bed.
Will the CMPD find these street terrorists? Well, they still haven't found the person(s) who threw a brick through Skosh Monahan's bar window.

Those are our opinions. Thanks for reading them.
The cmpd only find culprits when it suits them. Since they are opposed to the changes city council are making they don't really want to find these crooks. Sort of like payback.
ReplyDeleteI've seen similar from cmpd officers first hand. For example, had an incident affect my family and they didn't want anything to do with it but, when an officer called his brother and found out similar happened to him he was all gung ho to get things done. Never heard anything more about it but, I bet the officers brother did.
FYI Fair dr. had over a dozen illegally placed "No layoffs" signs, I didn't drive that way today to see if they are still up.
ReplyDeleteThe "No Layoffs" signs have been placed all over Mesa Del Mar too. I have no way of knowing if they were approved by the property owners.
ReplyDeleteCosta Mesa has always had ultra lazy cops. My family has never had a satisfactory experience with them, and we are the "good guys". The police department needs to be gutted so we can start over with cops who want to be cops.
The "city" as in the current personnel, do not enforce the law as to the 'cancel the layoffs' signage campaign. Any 'opposition' signage campaign would be as illegal as the current signage campaign. Further and sadly more to the point, the 'signs' simply signal to these 'city employees' that services can, could, and probably are, being selectively delivered to city residents. (this allegation of selective enforcement is not new; it's alleged cmpd coddles the criminal element on skid row)
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone actually believe that someone would risk putting up signage against that campaign? Heck no. I wouldn't, because I know the city employees would hold a biased feeling upon seeing that sign, and that city service delivery would not be delivered in an unbiased manner.
This is blatant civil intimidation.
The city of Costa Mesa has now let less than 570 people dictate to a population of 100,000, that they are not free to speak their minds against those (up to 570), lest services delivery be impaired. This service could be anything as basic as keeping the street light on when the bulb blows, or life threatening incidents requiring immediate and appropriate response.
The campaign that needs to be mounted is simply "TAKE THE SIGNS DOWN"
stuck on the west side where selective enforcement by the city is a way of life
Look on the bright side:
ReplyDelete575 - 472 = 103.
So 103 employees or 18% do live here. More than I expected.
