A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA,
URGING A CHANGE IN LAWS REGARDING
THE INCARCERATION AND RELEASE OF
JUVENILES CHARGED WITH FELONIES
WHEREAS, the matter of juvenile crime has been brought
to sharp public focus by reason of the large scale arrests of
juveniles charged with the unlawful sale and possession of drugs,
particularly in the area of public school systems of Los Angeles
County; and
WHEREAS, there has been a public outcry by reason of
the fact that these minors charged with drug violations, in many
instances, have been arrested and a few hours or a day later,
released to their parents or guardians and are again out on the
streets, where they can again engage in the various practices
concerning the unlawful sale and possession of drugs, and
WHEREAS, the City Council is mindful of the provisions
of Section 628 of the Welfare and Institutions Code of the State
of California, which gives broad powers to a Probation Officer
to release a minor to his parents or guardian, in lieu of deten-
tion in Juvenile Hall? and
WHEREAS, public interest demands that all citizens
within the State be safe from individuals, be they minors or
adults, dealing in the unlawful sale of drugs within the State?
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN
PARK, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1- That the Legislature of the State of
California is hereby urged to enact laws and/or statutes which
will amend the provisions of Section 628 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code so that juveniles charged with crimes involving
the unlawful sale and possession of drugs will not be released
forthwith, at the discretion of a Probation Officer.
SECTION 2. That the City Clerk is directed to send a
certified copy of this Resolution to Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr.,
to Senators Dills and Wedworth, to Assemblyman Leo T. McCarthy,
