Monterey Park Police in Sierra Madre

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

An interesting comment seems to indicate Monterey Park Police are writing tickets in SM:
Anybody know why the Monterey Park police are in town writing tickets today? I saw them pull over three vehicles, two commercial and one SUV - is crime so bad in SM that we have to contract out?
I’d understand if Arcadia or […]

Monrovia Politics becomes a ‘net game

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Just when I thought politics in Monrovia hit a peak, yet another dart is tossed.  This time around it is an Internet game called “Kick the Chief Roger” that showed up in my morning email. 
Personally I don’t think MPD Chief Johnson is the correct person to be kicking in terms of the city MPOA dispute.  […]

Market Dynamics and Police Resources: A Lesson for Monrovia

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

At Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, a well known, tremendously active member of the community asserted, basically, if Monrovia’s police officers don’t like their pay, they can just go somewhere else. “I’m sure we’ll have no trouble finding qualified police officers.”
If only that were  true.  Fact is, every police department in Southern California is hurting […]

Pasadena Shooting Seen From Victim’s Eyes

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Wow:
As Don Ferguson lay on the floor of his friend’s apartment in King’s Village, with a bullet wound to his head, he knew that if he survived, his story would be different.
Just moments before, on the cool evening of April 14, the 18-year-old was riding his bicycle to the park to play some football and […]

Where’s Frank?

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

The nice thing about conglomerates, is that the business can gain a lot of efficiencies by various units sharing the same systems.
The problem with conglomerates is that the entire business can be brought to a screeching halt by various units relying on the same efficient system.
Thus, from Chatsworth to Pasadena to West Covina to Pomona […]

City of Claremont to Establish Secret Ganja Vendor for Police Chief

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Or at least that’s what I got out of reading the first two grafs of this story:
The city released a draft today of the ordinance that would allow one tightly regulated medical marijuana dispensary to open in the city.
