SAFE 

FOR 

THE

MONROVIA, CA – 
The Monrovia Police 
Department will be 
hosting a holiday 
safety tips event titled, 
“Don’t Let the Grinch 
Ruin Christmas” 
on Thursday, Dec. 
8, from 7 p.m. to 8 
p.m., in the Library
Community Room.

 This past year, the 
City of Monrovia has 
seen an approximate 
25 percent increase 
in crime activity, 
a situation which 
law enforcement 
personnel have 
attributed to new 
laws that have 
been adopted in 
California. Those 
laws include AB 109 
and Proposition 47, 
as well as the recently 
approved Proposition 
57, which will result 
in an estimated 
10,000 incarcerated 
individuals who will 
be released from 
prison during the 
next few months. 

 With the increase 
in crime activities, 
safety is a high 
priority for all 
residents. Join us as 
representatives from 
the Monrovia Police 
Department address 
public safety issues, 
answer questions 
and concerns, and 
provide information 
on ways to stay safe 
during this holiday 
season. 

 

 For more infor-
mation regarding 
this event, please 
contact the Monrovia 
Police Department at 
(626)256-8000.
