A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY SUPPORTING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S PLAN TO
RESTORE PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE 80'S
WHEREAS, one United States household in five has been hit by
crime at least once in the last twelve months, with either property
stolen or a member of the household the victim of a physical assault,
according to the findings of a Gallup poll released in December 1979;
and
WHEREAS, the Gallup survey findings parallel the upturn in crimes
reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation which reported increases
in every kind of major crime for the first six months of 1979; and
WHEREAS, the Bureau of Criminal Statistics of the California
Department of Justice has documented similar results; and
WHEREAS, there has been insufficient public attention to the rights
and plight of crime victims in our society and to effective crime
prevention programs to reduce the numbers of crime victims; and
WHEREAS, it is essential to inform the public of and broaden the
availability and merit of effective methods of crime prevention to
help minimize further disruption in the lives of crime victims;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY: That, in recognition of the foregoing and the mandate contained
in Article V, Section 13 of the California Constitution, which proclaims
the Attorney General to be California's chief law officer, the City
Council of the City of Downey hereby takes this opportunity to endorse
and support California Crime Watch and the Attorney General's Plan to
Restore Public Safety in the 80's.
