City of East Palo Alto

"I believe the first steps necessary to restore public trust and confidence are openness and communication."

So states new East Palo Alto Police Chief Ron Davis in a "Letter to the Community" sent out this week. In the letter the new Chief describes immediate steps he has taken to respond to the recent increase in violence. He goes on to describe strategic law enforcement steps he plans to take in the months to come.

However, Chief Davis puts law enforcement in a broader contest when he says, "For long-term crime and violence reduction to occur, the police must work in partnership with the community to identify and solve problems."
