Require the Prior
This association has been formed to bring about a change in a city wide policy. Rarely is the criminal history of these misdemeanor criminals taken into account. Because of this lax attitude which has become a type of policy, the City is routinely releasing career street criminals with multiple prior arrests back onto our sidewalks, parking lots, and alley ways behind our homes and businesses with a few hours of their arrest. This is NOT the law in Arizona, but the “policy.” We have been told that this policy is a City of Phoenix budget issue. Because the city doesn’t want to spend the money to jail these career street criminals, we are living with the real costs of their “policy.” We are all suffering a decrease in our quality of life and loss of income to our businesses from increased incidences of graffiti, aggressive individuals harassing our customers and all of the costs inherent in the loss of customers as a result, as well as the continuing costs of cleaning up the graffiti that we are routinely subject to.
