RESOLUTION NO. 96-45
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD PROCLAIMING
OCTOBER 1996 AS CRIME PREVENTION MONTH
WHEREAS, the vitality of our City depends on how safe we keep our homes,
neighborhoods, work places, and communities; and
WHEREAS, crime and fear diminish our trust in others and in our institutions,
threatening the community's health and prosperity; and
WHEREAS, people of all ages must be made aware of what they can do to prevent
themselves, their families, neighbors, and co-workers from being harmed
by drugs, violence, and other crimes; and
WHEREAS, the personal injury, financial loss, and community deterioration resulting
from crime are intolerable and require action by the whole community;
and
WHEREAS, effective crime prevention programs excel because of partnerships among
law enforcement, other government agencies, civic groups, schools,
businesses, and individuals as they help to rebuild a sense of communal
responsibility and shared pride; and
WHEREAS, crime prevention initiatives are more than self-protection and security, but
must promote community partnerships, healthy neighborhoods, and
positive alternatives to youth delinquency and drug use and engage youth
to improve communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Rosemead does hereby proclaim
October 1996 as CRIME PREVENTION MONTH in Rosemead and urge all citizens,
government agencies, public and private institutions, and businesses to increase their
participation in our community's crime prevention efforts and thereby build more
productive communities and improved quality of life for all.
DONE THIS 24th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1996.
