A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA
DECLARING ITS SUPPORT FOR THE BALDWIN
PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HELP END
GANG VIOLENCE THROUGH THE USE OF STAY
AWAY ORDERS
WHEREAS, gang violence in our community jeopardizes the future of
children, youth, and adults, and their unfulfilled future potential when they fall
prey to gang activity; and
WHEREAS, gang violence jeopardizes the safety and well-being of the
whole community, whether associated with gang members or not; and
WHEREAS, gang violence is motivated by competing and controlling gang
members, who perpetuate their gang by participating in illicit activities in our
community; even when they are on probation; and
WHEREAS, gang violence creates a cycle of fear by intimidation through
indiscriminate random acts of violence; and
WHEREAS, the Baldwin Park Police Department will work in collaboration
with the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office in requesting Stay Away
Orders on gang related crimes filed with their office.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN
PARK DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council declares its support for the Baldwin Park
Police Department in its alliance with the Los Angeles County District Attorneys
Office with the goal of suppressing gang violence through the use of Stay Away
Orders;
Section 2. The City Council supports the use of Stay Away Orders,
which could be included in the terms of gang offenders' probation and forbid
them from being in a certain neighborhood or contacting certain parties;
Section 3. The City Council supports Stay Away Orders because they
are a condition of probation and a violation can immediately put the offender
back in jail; and
Section 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution
and forward a copy of the Resolution to the Chief of Police.
