2017 Constable Patrol for MAMA

Why does MAMA need to continue Constable Patrol?

•After seeing a 50% increase in crime in the MAMA boundaries in 2015, there has been a dramatic decrease since the Constable Patrol started in March 2016.

•We continue to see more cut-through traffic and transients due to traffic and construction in our adjacent streets.

•Constables are certified peace officersand can ticket, arrest, and if necessary, use force to deter and stop crime.

•Property value and neighborhood desirability are increasedwhen there is a Constable presence.

•Our Deputy has gotten to know our neighborhood extremely well, met many of our residents, and responds quickly when on duty to any calls or issues.
