<br />Hall, Jennifer <br />From:Claudio Bornancini <claudio323@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, October 3, <br />To:Penaloza, David; Bacerra, Phil; Vazquez, Benjamin; Lopez, Jessie; Amezcua, Valerie; <br />Phan, Thai; Hernandez, Johnathan; eComment <br />Subject:Public Intoxication and Substance Abuse Enforcement - Monthly Report <br />Good day, <br /> <br />Even though the Public Intoxication and Substance Abuse Enforcement Monthly Report is about to be released, <br />I must ask to PAUSE THE ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY. <br /> <br />A key part of Councilman Bacerra's proposal mentioned that "detained individuals who are not from Santa Ana <br />be offered transportation to their home to reunite them with family". Unfortunately that has not been <br />implemented, and it doesn't seem like a plan is going to be put into practice any time soon. <br /> <br />Mr Bacerra stated on Facebook that detained individuals would be given a bus/train ticket to pretty much <br />anywhere. That has not been implemented by the SAPD. <br /> <br />It is sad that all detained individuals are released in the Flower Park neighborhood, and it is the only <br />neighborhood that is carrying the burden of the proposal. <br /> <br />Furthermore, the SAPD does not have the resources to patrol their own neighborhood on a frequent basis, and <br />they disregard calls about (low priority) ongoing encampments released detainees create upon leaving the jail. <br />Flower Park is vulnerable at this time. <br /> <br />I can find intoxicated people in the middle of sidewalks throughout Santa Ana at least every single week, but I <br />stopped reporting because sooner or later they end up in my own neighborhood. <br /> <br />Please work on a plan to offer transportation to other cities as well as other neighborhoods URGENTLY, <br />and give resources to the SAPD to control the area surrounding the jail. <br /> <br /> <br />I appreciate your work. <br />Thanks <br /> <br />Claudio <br />Flower Park - Chair <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
