    The crime in Lancaster seems to be so bad that Parris has created a separate police department (public safety) and hired a chief. They will set up shop in the old AVUHSD headquarters downtown. Supposedly, they will handle minor crimes and the Sheriff will handle the major crimes. Why do we need two police departments? If LA County cannot provide the services, we can contract out with the Kern County, Ventura County or S.B. County sheriff. Why have multiple agencies?

      Because Wrecks wants a “law enforcement” agency that will do his personal bidding without questioning whether there is any actual law that applies. Since the combination of Sargent Steve the Wercks minion dying plus the Board of Supervisors complaining about footing the bill for all the lawsuits has made the Lancaster station LACSD hesitant to just blindly follow his commands he needed new private security.

      What? Surely you knew he wasn’t going to hire his thugs out of his own pocket?

          Not at all Moronic Mike. As a bank robber I was well aware of the applicable laws. But it wasn’t because of my bank robbing that Wrecks would want thugs to send after me, it is because I criticize him instead of massaging his anus with my nose the way you do. If he (or you) had any guts you’d just face me down. If he didn’t have taxpayer money to hire his thugs he’d have to pay them himself. But we don’t live in a perfect world.

      I’m unaware of any County Sheriff department contracting out of their county. Anyone?

      I’ve found the best way to protect myself from crime in Lancaster is to stay out of Lancaster. Same applies to Palmdale.

        I’m not sure where to look to verify this, but I am moderately sure that County Sheriff Departments couldn’t legally do that.

      The City Manager, Mark B., said once that the City of Lancaster could hire whomever they wanted for policing. Since we are on the border with Kern County…

        It’s that attitude displayed by the city manager and repeated by our city council, like they know better. It’s quite obvious they have no idea what they are talking about. Our city has the honor of the highest crime numbers in all of North LA County makes our leadership look clueless. They have help create a very dangerious city for our families. Cannot get rid of this leadership team is the on going problem.

      Isn’t it all gangster attire?

      Mark me as safe from attending.

      Gang attire is always banned at the fair. The more interesting question is whether it can be banned at this event, since such a ban would require Villanueva to show up in civilian clothes.
