Community Meeting hosted by MPD 12/8/2016



HOLIDAY PUBLIC SAFETY TIPS SEMINAR (“DON’T LET THE GRINCH RUIN CHRISTMAS!”) COORDINATED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, SET TO TAKE PLACE ON DECEMBER 8, 2016, FROM 7:00 P.M. TO 8:00 P.M. IN THE LIBRARY COMMUNITY ROOM
During the past year, public safety concerns in Monrovia have become more pressing as the City has, during 2016, seen an approximate 20% increase in crime activity when compared with last year. There are a variety of reasons for this increase, and as our Police Department has analyzed the data, part of the reason for the increase in crime is because of new laws that have been adopted in California. Those new laws include AB 109 and Proposition 47, and with Proposition 57 having recently been approved, an additional 10,000 incarcerated individuals will be released from prison during the next few months, which could further negatively impact crime rates.
Given the approaching holiday season, and given the increase in criminal activity, the City has developed a public safety tips event for the public that we hope you’ll participate in! The Monrovia Police Department will be leading the discussion, which has been dubbed, “Don’t Let the Grinch Ruin Christmas!”
The special event will be held on Thursday, December 8, 2016, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Library (321 South Myrtle Avenue). At the event, representatives from the Monrovia Police Department will run through different ways that you can stay safe, especially during the holiday season! In addition… we’ll have a variety of terrific special prizes that will be raffled off to event participants!
We know that there are a lot of demands on your time, especially during the holiday season! However, we hope that you will take an hour of your day to come and hear about public safety issues occurring in Monrovia and ways that you can stay safe!
