More crime in Greenfield, CA? Not so fast

If you've been following this blog you know how former city manager Susan Stanton wanted to get rid of our PBSO in Lake Worth. She wanted to go through the machinations and expense of building her own police department. Stanton was fired, of course, and she later got the city manager gig in Greenfield, CA. She has her own police department now. There is crime in Greenfield, CA, as there is in any community. However...

Every now and then I post the crimes in Greenfield, CA to demonstrate the hypocrisy of people like The Other Blogger (TOB). TOB obtusely believes having our own Lake Worth police department will be the solution to crime; that somehow that will magically save the city money. Some call this sort of thinking delusional.

Recently, TOB, in her zeal to show "all the crime" in Lake Worth failed to do her due diligence and included crimes outside our borders of the City.

Note the image below of a crime in Greenfield, CA, on the 4400 block of Teague Avenue. Monterrey deputies investigated the crime. If Greenfield, CA has their own PD why did the Monterrey Sheriff deputies investigate?
The answer is simple. The 4400 block of Teague Ave is outside the city limits of Greenfield, CA. I discovered this in about 90 seconds. 

I recommend that the TOB slow down and take time to check "facts" before she spouts non-truths to the populace.
