Resident urges 24-hour sheriff patrol; county says special highway-patrol unit will address traffic complaints
Summary
At the Nov. 14 Keyes MAC meeting, resident Roy Winters called for more law enforcement and 24-hour sheriff patrols to address dangerous driving and freeway noise; Member Morrow said a letter about a 'sanctuary city' was from a private group, and county staff said a three-officer special enforcement unit will handle local traffic complaints.
During public comment on Nov. 14, Roy Winters addressed the MAC about law-enforcement coverage, complaining about dangerous driving, freeway noise and what he said was the county becoming a 'sanctuary state,' and asking for 24-hour sheriff patrols in Keyes. Member Steven J. Morrow responded that the letter about a 'sanctuary city' was not from the government but from a private group soliciting membership.
Earlier in the meeting, Jennifer Hidalgo of the Stanislaus County Chief Executive Office spoke on behalf of the Highway Patrol and said a special enforcement unit will assign three officers to work traffic complaints in unincorporated areas, including Keyes. The record does not show a formal request or decision to change patrol schedules; the exchange was recorded in public comment and staff reports.
