We, the undersigned residents of Sage,
respectfully request that the county of Riverside install a Sheriff substation
in our area. Due to the large increase
in number of residents here and slow response rate (due to long distance travel
time) and a lack of 24 hr. police patrolling presence, we have been
experiencing an increase of both reported and unreported criminal
activity. Our tax dollars do not bring
in the benefits of many of those in urban areas
(such as sidewalks, streetlights, curbs, sewers, and piped in water). So it is more than reasonable that we can at
least expect an equitable amount of professional police protection to that
tantamount to the rest of Riverside county. We Thank You for interest and
hopeful support in the urgent matter.
We need this so badly! Once when a man who had previously threatened my family trespassed onto my property and tried to break into my home where I was alone with my 4 young children I called 911 and the police did not show up until two days later!!! Thank God that the man was too drunk to think of coming in the window and wire himself out trying to break down my metal laundry room door. I do not feel protected here at all. The response time is a joke.
