  1. Thanks again Sheriff’s for following up on this massive increase in gun-related crimes in SCV and specifically CC. I know Gascon will set them free but at least they know it isnt welcomed here like it is in LA and SFV. We have to keep striving for and fighting to be a different law and order town than the rest of LA. Sad to say this is now different.

  2. Good job as usual SCV LE!! Wonder how many murders and attempted murders, etc. the likes of odd named QUESTIN has committed!?
