Santa Ana Police and School Police are investigating a possible “shots fired” call in the area of Orange County High School of the Arts. The school has been placed on a “lock out” while police investigate the incident.

  • We must really be getting closer to contract talks with the City Council. Can a drive for the new "Public Safety" tax be too far off in the future?

  • It’s a world economy, the city can rent and import cop's from foreign countries like the Philippines, pay them in peso’s in their home country for short rotating terms.

    A thousand US dollars a month plus housing and food. No US taxes, social security or health benefits.

    Current cost for 669 @ 100,000 per year = 66,900,000
    The budget says its @ 151,517 =101,365,485

    Imported foreign labor 669 @ 12,000 = 8,028,000

    Saving of 93,337,485 enough to balance the budget and supply more employees (more foreigners) to cover all of the empty spots in the other departments, and even reduce the high business taxes and utility fees.

  • OCSA's school day ends at 1:30 on Fridays, so most students were gone nearly 2 hours before shots were fired.
