Subject:[EXTERNAL] Fwd: Request removal of Chief of Police RICK ARMENDARIZ (no control of illegal fire works on 4th of
July 2024)

I respectfully request the removal of Anaheim Chief of Police, Rick Armendariz. Chief Armendariz had no
control over the City of Anaheim on the 4th of July 2024, 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 2024, along with Anaheim Fire, failed our city and
placed all of us in danger.
I am in receipt, and have reviewed, the 20 PAGES (est 30-40 calls per page) of Fireworks Complaint Calls for
the ENT IRE 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. Yet now the Anaheim Fire Department has no records, not even the
concerns added to their own website? As well, the majority of Fireworks call complaints throughout the entire
city were CANCELED!
On July 18, 2024 Anaheim Deputy City Attorney, Bryn M. Morley, responded to me in writing via a USPS-
mailed letter. The letter states that my public request for records pertaining to illegal fireworks had been
received but, "Despi te a di li gent search, the Anaheim Fire & Rescue Department was unabl e to l ocate
records that fall within the scope of your (my) request."
I offered surveillance footage of what had occurred directly around my home, but APD never requested to view
my videos. I placed a Code Complaint and also offered copies of the videos showing proof of what transpired
and was told by Code since it is after the fact, there is no action which they can take.
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 CONT ROL on the 4th of July 2024, during a city council
meeting! Of 20 PAGES, with an estimated 30-40 complaints per page of city-wide complaints, APD issued
only 28 citations!!!!!!!
I would like to know WHO funded the illegal fireworks website that apparently no one was monitoring. Was
this also at the taxpayer's expense? WHO funded all of this so-called months and months of training and prep
for APD and Anaheim Fire to be prepared to handle illegal fireworks on the 4th of July, us taxpayer's?
It appears this city, police and fire continue to abuse our taxpayer funds. Where is all of our money
going?????????????????????????????????????????
This is TOTALLY UNACCEPT ABLE!
COMPLETE FAIL!
