KEEPING RESIDENTS SAFE SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST. El Segundo Year to Date Crime Statistics Robbery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +175% Residential Burglary . . . . . . . . . +129% Commercial Burglary. . . . . . . . . . . -4% Vehicle Burglary . . . . . . . . . . . . . +41% Theft . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +13% El Segundo residents should know that their Police and Fire Departments are being expected to do more with less. The City has eliminated 15 firefighter positions and shut down a fire engine, which has resulted in delayed response times. Your Police Department has lost 11 officers protecting the community. Mayor Fuentes has publicly admitted that City employees of labor groups have endured the brunt of the recession by conceding millions of dollars in salary and benefits to balance the City’s budget. A survey of our members earlier this year showed that 10 police officers are in the process of testing to transfer to another police department and 4 firefighters have already left to other agencies for job stability and better working conditions.

El Segundo Police Officers’ Association 214 Main Street, #115 El Segundo, CA 90245 www.elsegundopoa.org El Segundo Firefighters’ Association 531 Main Street, PMB #1104 El Segundo, CA 90245 www.elsegundofirefighters.org “Our police and firefighter personnel are at the lowest levels in decades. That impacts response times. We cannot keep losing our best police officers and firefighters and expect the same quality of public safety services.” Lisa Abbate, El Segundo Resident “There doesn’t seem to be an urgency, from some key city leaders, to take action to protect the citizens of El Segundo from the increase in crime in our community. This increase has been seen in a number of the beach cities and is in many ways a result of AB 109 and Proposition 47, which among other things, is returning violent offenders to our city. Public safety needs to be the top priority to return our neighborhood to the safe place it used to be.” Melissa Brankovic, El Segundo Resident “Saving money is good, but a second-rate police and fire department in El Segundo won’t work.” Lori McConnaha, El Segundo Resident SUMMER READING PROGRAM Registration begins June 11th, 9:00a.m. El Segundo Public Library Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library 41 Authors for Adults and Children • Author Panels • Author Signings • Raffle Prizes • Storytellers • Live Music & Entertainment Sunday, June 7th 11:30a.m. – 4:30p.m. Police Reports Monday, May 25, 2015 One male adult was arrested at 1136 hours from the 1400 block of East Maple Avenue for residential burglary An identity theft report was taken at 1326 hours from the 300 block of Whiting Street.
