I respectfully request the removal of Anaheim Chief of Police, Rick Aremdariz. Chief Aremdariz had no
control over the City of Anaheim on the 4th of July, even after several months of planning, and caused our
city to be placed into dangerous and fire-hazardous conditions. I request his removal immediately. His
team, after months of prep and training for the 4th of July along with Anaheim Fire, failed our city and
placed all of us in danger.
I am in receipt, and have reviewed, the 20 PAGES of Fireworks Complaint Calls for the ENTIRE city of
Anaheim to Anaheim Police from WED 7/3 - SUN 7/7, 2024.
All Calls from my tract in District 1, 92804 to Anaheim Police Dispatch were CANCELED, other than one
of which officer(s) stated they saw nothing (July 4th).
Anaheim Police and Anaheim Fire ignored all of the pre-4th illegal fireworks concerns that were placed
online on their website devoted to this issue.
As well, the majority of Fireworks call complaints throughout the entire city were CANCELED!
I request the City Council to ask for an investigation and agendize for the Chief of Police and the Anaheim
Fire Chief to explain WHY they had absolutely NO CONTROL on the 4th of July, during council!
Of 20 PAGES of city-wide complaints, APD issued only 28 citations.
This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!
COMPLETE FAIL!
