Where is Batman when you need him? Dark Knight anyone?

If there were ANY lingering doubts about Heather Fargo and company’s lack of commitment to public safety, I hope they have all been removed now.

In a JOLTING development, the City of Gotham Sacramento has decided to pair up OUR police officers and reduce OUR patrol car presence by 50%  over the next thirty days. Why? They claim to be hosting an experiement in an effort to cut costs. But some folks…

You scream, I scream, we ALL scream: “GUN!!!!”

Wonder if Fargo, Dickinson, and Marcos Breton’s super duper new anti-gang tax would have prevented any of these crimes?

I’m pretty sure all these new crimes reported by the PD all occurred in Natomas–or at least in that general vicinity. I have not included a slew of other crimes in Natomas like when the 20- something guy with the two year old toddler with him walked up and

The good news is that Sacramento has a new public safety watchdog in Lt Marcos Breton. The bad news is that he’s barking up the wrong political tree and doing the same thing all the other business-as-usual dinosaurs in this town do: Gang up on and condemn those who oppose their ideas.

In what must be one of the most disjointed, bass-ackwards opinion columns in the history of the Bee, the oft-maligned Breton has leveraged his Sunday column space to urge Bee…

Note: make sure you read the whole article because the Friday night law enforcement calls follow the article

Frequent Joe Sac readers know I have been hollering about getting a curfew in Sacramento for the last two weeks. I previously cited Elk Grove’s crackdown on delinquent teens, and urged Sacramento to do the same “especially in areas like Natomas where teens do whatever they want at night.” I even emailed Elk grove bloggers and city council people asking them to shed…

The following North Patrol calls were observed Saturday and Sunday night by a vigilant (bored? ) Joe Sacramento reader. Before I type another word, I have to say that while criminal activity can be heavy on the North Sacramento beat at times, I am extremely impressed by the work our police department is doing.

As you will see, police response times are

Updated Saturday, July 19. In what is perhaps the most violent summer in Natomas history, two MORE violent crimes have been reported by Natomas victims, both committed early yesterday morning. These were not gleaned from a police email, these were reported by the Sacramento Bee this evening (thank you Sacramento Bee).

For those counting, the newest two armed robberies in Natomas bring the count to three within the past 48 hours, four if you count the one on Norwood to be…

Hopefully Mayor Fargo’s meeting tonight at the Homecoming condoplex with Natomas residents  will be more encouraging than the one shown here, videotaped by youths in nearby Kokomo Park and uploaded to youtube.com in the past year.

Along with Mayor Heather Fargo, representatives from the school district and police department will also be in attendance tonight to meet with residents of Homecoming at Creekside and surrounding areas.

Homecoming is the site of a…

This just in from the Sacramento Police Department. As you read this, picture yourself in a Jamba Juice or Starbucks with a loved one, minding your own business, looking forward to a nice cool smoothie on a hot day, perhaps after a long day at work…

Two people were inside Jamba Juice in the Raley’s shopping center Park Place in N Natomas.  3 suspects (All 15 years old) approached…

It’s 10pm, do you know where your kids are? Apparently a lot of parents do not, because Sacramento has a crime problem. No, scratch that. Sacramento has a juvenile delinquency problem, and hence a crime problem.

Elk Grove has the same problem. But unlike the City of Sacramento, where the out-of-touch mayor spends more time traveling the globe in search of the solution to global warming than in Sacramento searching for solutions to public safety ills, Elk Grove is actually doing something about their…
