FPD Continues to Ignore Fireworks Complaints
A person calls to complain about fireworks on their street. According to the dispatcher, this is a continuous problem. Someone on their street is setting off fireworks, but they don't know the exact house. They want to remain anonymous. Two officers are dispatched to check it out. Then the sergeant nixes the call because the reporting party wants to be anonymous. Just send one unit to drive through the area if he wants. And so it goes...whether it is because of low staffing levels or just a lack of interest, fireworks complaints are the last calls to be answered. They are in the same category as an unverified alarm- officers will be notified of the complaint, but have total discretion as to respond or not. Now, last night in Union City, two officers were assigned to investigate fireworks complaints. Perhaps they had more officers available. Or better leadership.

Unfortunately it’s going to get worse as we get closer to July 4th. So if someone gets seriously injured because of someone is setting off illegal fireworks, then what? Maybe they’ll get to it. They will mostly likely wait for FFD to respond first. 🙄
ReplyDeleteI vote to camp out at the mayor's house, raise a ruckus belligerently and keep her up all night like they did to Blasio in New York
ReplyDeleteI nearly got out of bed last night to check online to see if there was some sort of fireworks show near us. Even though all fireworks are illegal in Fremont, the noise/explosions were unprecedented in the 16 years we've lived here. Even worse, at times the explosions seemed to move much closer for a few moments (that "coming and going" effect happened several times). WTF - is Fremont PD not even **trying** to enforce our laws??
