Our streets in Antioch are dangerous, period. Everybody knows this and sees it everyday. Street racing, exhibitions of speed, willful running of stop lights and signs, exceeding speed limits everywhere vehicles with loud exhaust can be heard constantly. It’s no secret as to why, absolutely zero enforcement. But make no mistake, it’s not the fault of our dedication men and women of the Antioch Police Department. They are doing everything they can just to keep up with burgeoning crime in our community. It’s no secret our council members, not all of them have not supportive of our PD. Criticism in the media, threats of funding and equipment cuts, media rants, the absence of a permanent police chief and of course problems within the pd it self. All have led to our decimated police department and its inability to backfill vacancies. And it’s not just the police department. Numerous vacancies exist in city departments across the board. No one wants to work in or for a city with such problems. We as citizens deserve better. It’s not too late Antioch. Demand more from our elected officials and hold them accountable, all of them. Oh, and one more thing. The next time you see a cop on the street thank her or him for everything they are doing.
