Eight ways we can reduce crime in Redding

Letters to the editor(Photo: Record Searchlight)

We moved to Redding to get away from crime in Milpitas. As a result of my fear of rising crime in Redding, I'm a block captain at an apartment neighborhood watch. I signed recall petition, worked a recall table and spoke three minutes at the public forum in the City Council meeting in June.

My very favorite solutions from Take Back Redding members shared at the public forum are:

1. Utilize existing technology (apps) to track illegal encampments.

2. Bike registration as a deterrent to the bike theft epidemic.

3. Lease city property to private groups to speed up removal of illegal trespassers and encampments on private property.

4. Increase youth on-the-job training programs. 

5. Create a youth Junior City Council.

6. Parcel tax to fund public safety and jail space. 

7. Target enforcement of repeat offenders on the street.

8. Split Stillwater Business parcels into smaller lots to increase sales and income to the general fund.
