A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DIAMOND BAR URGING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
ENHANCE ITS EFFORTS TO REALLOCATE DRUG
ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES WITHIN LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
WHEREAS, Los Angeles County has been exposed to a serious drug
problem, and
WHEREAS, the dramatic rise in drug trafficking and abuse within
the County has severely overburdened our justice and health care
systems as is evidenced by the astounding numbers of arrests, drug
seizures, emergency room, and
WHEREAS, it has been clearly demonstrated that the Federal
Government has disproportionately allocated its allocation of drug
enforcement resources within Los Angeles County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Diamond Bar does resolve and urge the Federal Government to:
1. Reallocate resources, including personnel,
technology and funding, available to Federal anti-
drug enforcement agencies to those areas of highest
drug abuse and trafficking activity, particularly to
those Federal agency offices working in the Los Angeles
County area; and
2. Expedite implementation of the Anti -Drug Abuse Act
to those areas which have demonstrated the greatest
need, including Los Angeles County, to assist with
local law enforcement, health care, prevention and
education efforts.
