TEE IT UP with Tom and John: Costa Mesa Police Chief Ron Lawrence

Costa Mesa Police Chief Ron Lawrence stops by to TEE IT UP with Tom and John (ie-Tom Johnson, Publisher, Stu News and Costa Mesa Mayor John Stephens, partner in Stephens-Friedland, LLP). Talking about their unique approach to policing in Costa Mesa. And the positive results they've achieved. Like the recent 4th of July Festivities with 12,000 people at the OC Fairgrounds that went off without a hitch.

"Helps", says Chief Lawrence, "when you start with the assumption that people are there to have a good time and not to cause trouble". Along with a three tiered policing approach of Traffic, Patrol and "Community Policing". And the use of their new Mobile Command Center (which includes drone capability to monitor the crowds and react quickly).
