CHP Public Arrest WE9-24 and the Varo For Mayor Flawed Arguments

CHP Public Arrest WE9-24 and the Varo For Mayor Flawed Arguments
September 27, 2006

With more than a few data points under Coto’s belt, we can officially declare that there is a positive downward trend in the number of Coto residents arrested by the CHP since we started this report!

The Varo for Mayor Committee has been using the flawed argument that the reason for turning Coto into a city – and terminating the CHP contract – is that Coto would then be able to negotiate directly for pro-active Sheriff services. The fact of the matter is that the Orange County Board of Supervisors negotiates with the Sheriff the official rates. All local cities can do then, is get more or less patrol services at the negotiated rates. Going rates for a Sheriff’s “foot on the street” is roughly $110,000.00/year – which is what Coto currently pays for the CHP’s pro-active traffic patrol.
