What in the h#ll is going on in Elk Grove? I mean really, an armed robbery in broad daylight in a park!
We're on our way to becoming a destination city, except for the wrong reasons!
I Dont understand. Were are the police. I mean over 1/2 or our city budget is for cops. Were are they?? Are they two top heavey.
The cops are too busy sending three units to pull over teen drivers for a traffic Violation.
I Hope our so call city councile is paying attention. First this then the shooting at strikess. What the He## is going on. Are they too busy raising money that they don't want people to think this town in turning into South Sac.. Mack Road..
I think some of you need to wake up. This happens in Folsom, Roseville, and El Dorado Hills. Not just in Elk Grove.
Bob...yes crime is everywhere...however I think the previous comments suggest the increased rate of crime here in elk grove is at levels higher than the areas you mentioned whether real or perceived elk grove residents are bothered by it. It is interesting a couple of our leaders don't want light rail here because of the increased crime it brings...Folsom has benefited from light rail; early and evening the downtown state/government employees can ride and don't have to pay the downtown parking; Events in old town Folom bring people by light rail and this had decreased the number of DUI's..during the Beer Festival...most of the "crime" brought by light rail occurs at long term parking because cars are left for the day making them targets. No ones going to rob one of the outlet stores and leave by light rail...picture that one..
I have noticed more gang graffiti here than in the past....it is being left up to long.
