The war on crime has stepped up a bit in both cities and we're glad to see it. Day after day readers can see where our law enforcement is out there conducting criminal sweeps throughout the communities. From traffic stops to parole sweeps, the war on crime is heating up and it is an ongoing process.
The AV News continuously reports on the war on crime here in the Antelope Valley. It is amazing to see how the cities here in the Antelope Valley continuously pour resources into our Sheriff's department to deliver the "one, two" punch needed to keep gang members heads down.
It doesn't do any good to go out now and then and conduct a sweep here and there. It takes the dedication seen today by our Sheriff's department to continuously sweep through the communities and let the criminals know that when they rise up, the Sheriff's department will be there to knock them back down.
It is merely my opinion but the war on crime must be seen tactically the same as in any war. Hit them, hit them again, and hit them yet again until they cease their preying upon our citizens.
Crime and gang violence is homegrown terrorism, what other name can you put on it? Criminals terrorize the very citizens who send their young off to fight on foreign shores or work within our community to rebuild our cities. Businesses must survive to support our economy and they are targeted by criminals and gang members who fail to, or refuse to make an honest living.
