Poilce Protection Meeting
May 20, 2005 In a meeting, last Wednesday on the 18th, more than 60 citizens gathered on the front lawn of Dennis Sickle's home in protest calling for better police protection. Among the complaints, citizens questioned the maner in which repeated calls are handled. A shooting took place in the area of Grandview, Halfmoon Dr. and Megan St. which left 4 persons injured, 3 with minor injuries and 1 with seriuos injuries. In custody is a Mead Valley resident, Micheal Bowling, who was booked for attempted murder at the Southwest Facility. Members of the city council at the meeting were Mayor Robert Magee, Daryl Hickman, Robert Schiffner and Thomas Buckley. Councilwoman, Genie Kelley, did not show up. Safety Committee members, also at the meeting, were, Ron Hewison, William "Bill" Arnold and committee chair, Mike Lewis. Captain Louis Fetheroff addressed the issues of noise and the 10 pm curfew. But, he stated, that he cannot legally shut down a party unless the person or persons causing the disturbance have been seen by an officer of the law or a citizen who was witness to the disturbance. Thus being able to make an arrest. There were numberous calls to law enforcement about disturbances in the area and the police did respond but, the police were not on scene at the time of the shooting.
EM2 encourages citizens to attend City Council meetings every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm. at the Cultural Center, 183 North Main St. downtown Lake Elsinore. The City Council directs law enforcement and is fully responsible for citizen safety and protection. Safety and protection are of utmost concern and should be prioritized by the City Council. The council could ask the finance team to look for more ways to "cut the fat" in an effort to hire more police officers. The City Treasurer, Mr. Peter Weber, in a news article on April 7, 2005, proposed a $930,000.00 cut in unnecessary spending to be used for hiring more police officers. This is what all cities must do from time to time. Contact your Councilperson and let them know your concerns. (951)674-3124
