A message form the Baldwin Park Police Department
It’s that time of year again, December 31st, a day to remember the past and a day to celebrate the New Year to come. Wherever you may be celebrating New Year’s Eve, the Baldwin Park Police Department would like to encourage everyone to celebrate the holiday safely and responsibly.
What goes up will come down. A bullet fired in the air can climb up to two miles and when it comes down it can reach speeds of 300 to 700 feet per second. Researches report that a velocity of 200 feet per second is sufficient to penetrate a human skull.
Drunk driving is one of the biggest killers during the holiday season, for this reason there will be increased patrols and sobriety check points. Designate a driver before the celebration begins. Watch for erratic driving and report drunk drivers. Find a Tipsy Tow service in your area.
Stay alive, don’t drink and drive.
Shooting a gun into the air is a crime.
If a stray bullet should hit someone, individuals can be arrested and charged with a serious crime.
If you see someone fire a gun in the air, call 911.
Report drunk drivers, call 911.
Enjoy the holiday safely and responsibly!

Baldwin Park Police Services
The Baldwin Park Police Department is keeping up with the times. They have launched several new services that can be accessed through the City of Baldwin Park website; www.baldwinpark.com.
www.crimereports.com is a website that provides Baldwin Park residents timely and reliable information on criminal activity in their neighborhoods. Residents can search the database using their home address to see recent criminal and traffic activity which is updated every 6 hours. “Information is power,” Chief Hadsell added, “and we hope that giving the community this information will help them prevent crime in their neighborhoods.” This information is available 24 hours a day through the website www.crimereports.com or through the CrimeReports iPhone app.
Because everybody’s time is valuable, the Baldwin Park Police Department has launched an Online Police Reporting System that allows any victim to submit an online report immediately to the police department. The Online Police Reporting System can be accessed through the City of Baldwin Park’s website at www.baldwinpark.com.
Victims may report a crime online from the comfort of their own home if the incident is not an emergency situation, occurred in Baldwin Park, there are no known suspects, and it did not occur on a State Highway. Once all the criteria have been met a report can be made and submitted. In return, each report will be issued a police report number and victim will be contacted if further investigation is required. Victims can print a copy of their report for free once it has been submitted.
Another feature added by the Baldwin Park Police Department is the Online Traffic Collision Report Retrieval System. This new feature will allow victims and or insurance companies access to traffic collision reports and photos using the online system. Users can access the feature through the City of Baldwin Park’s website www.baldwinpark.com. A police report number is needed to obtain traffic collision information and photos. Information can be printed for a small fee of $20 per report and $10 per photo.
These new technologies will allow the Baldwin Park Police Department to operate more efficiently while providing enhanced customer service to the residents of Baldwin Park.

Visit of Fr. Greg Boyle (Homeboy Industries)
Fr. Greg Boyle S.J. visits St. John the Baptist for Mass and Evening Reflection
St. John the Baptist Church Lifeteen and Social Services invite you as we
welcome Fr. Greg Boyle, Executive Director, of Homeboy Industries. Fr. Greg
will be the main celebrant for our Lifeteen Mass on December 5th at 5 PM.
After Mass, the Parish Community is invited to Life Night in the Hall for an
Advent Reflection directed by Fr. Greg.
The Homeboy Merchandise store will be present with copies of Tattoos on the
Heart for sale.
Ordained in 1984, Fr. Greg taught at Loyola High School and worked with
Christian Base Communities in Cochabamba, Bolivia. He was appointed as Pastor of
Dolores Mission in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1986 where
he served through 1992. He then served as Chaplain of the Islas Marias Penal
Colony in Mexico and Folsom Prison, before returning to Los Angeles and Dolores
Mission.
Homeboy Industries traces its roots to “Jobs For A Future” (JFF), a program
created in 1988 by Fr. Greg at Dolores Mission parish. In an effort to address
the escalating problems and unmet needs of gang-involved youth, Fr. Greg and the
community developed positive alternatives, including establishing an elementary
school, a day care program and finding legitimate employment for young people.
JFF’s success demonstrated the model followed today that many gang members are
eager to leave the dangerous and destructive life on the “streets.”
In 1992, as a response to the civil unrest in Los Angeles, Fr. Greg launched the
first business (under the organizational banner of JFF and Proyecto Pastoral,
separated from Dolores Mission Church): Homeboy Bakery with a mission to create
an environment that provided training, work experience, and above all, the
opportunity for rival gang members to work side by side. The success of the
Bakery created the groundwork for additional businesses, thus prompting JFF to
become an independent non-profit organization, Homeboy Industries, in 2001.
Today Homeboy Industries’ nonprofit economic development enterprises include
Homeboy Bakery, Homeboy Silkscreen, Homeboy Maintenance,Homeboy/HomegirlMerchandise, and HomegirlCafé.
As Executive Director of Homeboy Industries and an acknowledged expert on gangs
and intervention approaches, Fr. Boyle is a nationally renowned speaker. He has given commencement addressesat several prestigious universities, as well as spoken at conferences forteachers, social workers, criminal justice workers and others about theimportance of adult attention, guidance and unconditional love in preventing
youth from joining gangs. Fr. Greg and several “homies” were featured speakers
at the White House Conference on Youth in 2005 at the personal invitation of
Mrs. George Bush. Fr. Greg is also a consultant to youth service and governmental agencies, policy-makers and employers.

Cardinal Speaks on Census
As millions across the nation begin receiving their census forms, a taped message from Cardinal Mahony will begin airing this week on El Sembrador TV & Radio and Guadalupe Radio calling on the Latinos to “be counted” in the 2010 Census.
“Your participation ensures that your community will receive funding for schools, hospitals and other services,” explains the Cardinal in Spanish on the 60 and 30-second spots.The Cardinal also reassures the immigrant community that the Census is confidential. In his message he explains that “it is against the law to share your answers with anyone, including social service agencies and immigration.”The Cardinal’s full video message in Spanish may be viewed at: content.la-archdiocese.org/wm/hagase-contar-2-web.wmv
The Latino community has traditionally been undercounted in the Census, due to apprehension and fear in immigrant communities about providing information to the federal government. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles is working with the Census Department and other community groups to alleviate concerns and educate the Latino community on the importance of the Census.
“We are faced with the reality that many in our immigrant communities are scared and may not understand that participating in the Census will benefit them, not harm them,” said Cardinal Mahony. “I am pleased to work with our Catholic stations and other partners to reach out our brothers and sisters in the Latino community so that they understand the importance of being counted.”
In addition to the Cardinal’s message, parishes throughout the Archdiocese have also volunteered to serve as “Questionnaire Assistance Centers” for the Census Bureau. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels will serve as one of these centers beginning on Sunday, March 21 through Sunday April 18.

Latinos in Catholic Education
The University of Notre Dame has released a report seeking to increase enrollment among Hispanic children in the United States in Catholic schools to one million by 2020 from 290,000 now (6% of total in 2020 vs. current 3% of Hispanic children being in Catholic schools).
Latino children in Catholic schools are 42% more likely to graduate from high school than those in public school and 250% more likely to graduate from college. Notre Dame believes the public school system is failing the Hispanic youth of the United States.
