increasing crime, I strongly believe that a robust police department plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our <br /> communities. To illustrate this, I would like to recount an incident that occurred on August 10, 2021 to me and my family. <br /> On that day, two thieves stole the catalytic converter from our parked Prius in broad daylight on our side street, right in <br /> front of our house at 8 am. I personally witnessed the theft and promptly reported the incident to the police. Although a <br /> policewoman responded promptly and a detective followed up later, I was left concerned about the security of our <br /> neighborhood and asked for increased police patrols around our community to deter such crimes. <br /> Secondly, I believe that safety should be accorded the highest priority. While I acknowledge the importance of community <br /> amenities, such as the expansion of the skate park (estimated at$6 million) and the implementation of bicycle lanes <br /> (estimated at$14 million), I would appreciate it if the city could place greater emphasis on essential services like water <br /> quality and police. By directing more resources towards these areas, we can better address the immediate needs of our <br /> residents and foster a secure environment for all. <br /> I kindly request that you carefully consider my concerns and allocate adequate resources to our police department to <br /> enable them to effectively fulfill their duty of protecting our community. <br /> Thank you for your attention to these matters. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Huiling Song <br /> 2 <br />
