A crackdown in the East Valley has nabbed 130 gang arrests, bringing the total up to 457 gang arrests this year. This raid not only included hispanic gangs, but white supremacy groups as well, who guarded their meth lab with an explosive device. Its hard to believe that these types of activities take place in our community, but they do.
The media continues to make this a Gascon vs. Arpaio event trying to compare these taskforces to the Sheriff's sweeps. The fact is both kinds of activities are needed in Mesa to help reduce crime. We need to focus on specific activities as well as the overall safety of our community. Although their personalities clash, both the Chief and the Sheriff are helping Mesa, despite claims to the contrary from both sides. Hopefully, these groups can find a way to work together and continue to make our city safer.

Good for you, now how about other areas that are in need of your good work?
where can we make a contact? or get an area to you without making it known to every body?
