Layleen Salgado <br /> <br />Santa Ana, CA 92703 <br />Date: March S, 2025 <br />Mayor Valerie AmezCua <br />22 Civic Center Plaza, <br />Santa. Ana, Ca 92701 <br />Dear Mayor AmezYcua, <br />Hello, my name is Layleen. Salgado and I am one o�f' your residents that live in Santa Ana California. <br />I am writing; this letter to talk about the public safety around Santa. Ana. This topic to me is very important <br />because I feel that around the area of Santa. Ana public safety needs to be addressed and be taken care of. <br />I live in this city and I would love nay city to be a safe place and not be last on a list just because of the <br />area. It should have preventive strategies, properly be funded, and less gun violence. <br />Public safety should be a priority in all cities. I discovered with research that there can be prevention <br />strategies that have the potential to create the most gain in safety, we can expand safety by including <br />civilian experts. We can focus on neighborhood revitalization and get more opportunities to communities <br />that are not being invested in. Another vital key would be having a good relationship with those around <br />the community. This helps because policy makers or leaders could ask for help to identify the root of a <br />problem or policy that has failed and come u.►p with a solution to improve the safety of the community. <br />Around Santa Ana gun violence has been an issue. About a month ago there was a shootout between two <br />people in front of the liquor store on First and Newhope. It was during the weekday in the early mornings <br />when kids are walking to school. There should be more restrictions on gun carrying, stricter gun laws. <br />Lastly properly funding the community/city that way it can always be maintained. It can appeal to people <br />to want to live here. <br />I believe that if you are well informed of what is going around your community/city it can prosper and <br />grow. Having a good relationship with those people that live in that city. Letting them know that their <br />problems are being listened to and showing that you are willing to help..I know that being a mayor of a <br />large city is time consuming and difficult as well. Needless to say, public safety in Santa Ana needs to be <br />addressed. It should have preventive strategies, properly be funded, and less gun violence and we would <br />welcome all the help that we can get. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my lette►- addressing <br />my concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />Layleen Salgado <br />
