Temple City: Hire Private Patrols NOW to Stop Rising Burglaries


Temple City: Hire Private Patrols NOW to Stop Rising Burglaries
The Issue
🚨 Temple City Neighbors – We Need Immediate Action 🚨
Over the past few weeks, there has been a clear pattern of burglaries in our area. Many of us have already taken precautions—locking doors, installing cameras, improving lighting—but it’s still happening.
This is not because residents aren’t careful.
This is a pattern, and it requires a stronger response.
Right now, criminals are targeting Temple City because they see it as an easier place to operate. That must change immediately.
The City has the resources to act.
👉 We are calling on the City Council to use available reserves—including emergency funds or funds currently allocated for non-essential projects—to prioritize public safety NOW.
👉 Specifically, we need:
Immediate deployment of private patrols
Increased visible enforcement presence in our neighborhoods
When residents do not feel safe in their own homes, nothing else should take priority.
If enough of us speak up together, the City will have to respond.
Let’s act now before this becomes the new normal.
