They need to realize, that they will not be prosecuted. Its kind of game on for them. Eric owns a Grocery Outlet and a mission where shoplifting and violence are a consistent problem for his employees. In the past, we have had one employee stabbed and another hurt. He doesnt know what is causing the problem, but he thinks Community Policing can fix it. We talk to shoppers today and they seem to have given up hope that any kind of change will happen. That is why i am spending money in our budget to increase this. I am not satisfied with a magical number that was done in the 70s about anything. Our population has grown. For storeowners more security cannot come soon enough. It is not getting better. It is getting worse. They are hiring, but as you just heard the mayor say, he is not so much of fixated on a specific number of Police Officers. Just that there needs to be more and there needs to be a more sense of calm and safety for Business Owners and People Living in the community. Live
