RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA SUPPORTING CALIFORNIA CRIME WATCH AND THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S PLAN TO RESTORE PUBLIC SAFETY
IN THE 80'S
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, one United States household in five has been
hit by crime at least once in the last 12 months, with either
property stolen or a member of the household the victim of a
physical assault, according to the findings of a Gallup poll
released in December 1979, and
WHEREAS, the Gallup survey findings parallel the
upturn in crimes reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
which reported increases in every kind of major crime for the
first six months of 1979, and
WHEREAS, the Bureau of Criminal Statistics of the
California Department of Justice has documented similar results,
and
WHEREAS, there has been insufficient public attention
to the rights and plight of crime victims in our society and to
effective crime prevention programs to reduce the numbers of
crime victims, and
WHEREAS, it is essential to inform the public of and
broaden the availability and merit of effective methods of crime
prevention to help minimize further disruption in the lives of
crime victims.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista that in recognition of the foregoing
and the mandate contained in Article V, Section 13 of the Cali-
fornia Constitution, which proclaims the Attorney General to be
California's chief law officer, the City Council of the City of
Chula Vista hereby takes this opportunity to endorse and support
California Crime Watch and the Attorney General's Plan to
Restore Public Safety in the 80's.
