SAFE COMMUNITIES MONTH
March 1 - 31, 2008
WHEREAS, the vitality of the City of Rosemead depends on how safe we keep
our home, 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, people of all ages must unite all elements of the community in
creating a safe, healthy, crime-free environment through a series of
community-based programs; and
WHEREAS, the major focus of this long-term commitment is to make a positive
difference for our community by educating our youth and adults, by
providing positive alternatives and role models for children and by
unifying the support of the local community, including schools,
businesses, religious organizations, service clubs, law enforcement
and city government.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Rosemead City Council does hereby
proclaim March 1 - 31, 2008 as SAFE COMMUNITIES MONTH in the City of Rosemead
and urge all citizens, government agencies, public and private institutions and all
businesses to increase their participation in our community's crime prevention efforts and
