Rosarito baja more on new safety for tourist

Dear Baja Friends and Neighbors: March 8, 2008
Mayor Hugo Torres has established an office with Bi-lingual staff to assist English speaking folks with assistance with a problem. The office phone number for this new office is 661-612-0396.

Take the time to put these numbers in your phone.
Marco Nuno has a Nextel at 152*137260*20
Fernando Toledo's Nextel is 152*137260*21
Email is: assistance@rosarito.org
Web site: www.rosarito.org

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT (FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE HERE) WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO CALL THESE NUMBERS AND DESCRIBE THE SITUATION & LOCATION. THEY WILL DISPATCH THE PROPER AUTHORITY TO THE SITUATION. IF YOU'RE STOPPED INCORRECTLY (WITHOUT CAUSE) YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO NOTE THE TIME OF DAY, DESCRIPTION OF THE PERSON(S) THAT STOPPED YOU AND A VEHICLE DESCRIPTION AND LET THIS DEPARTMENT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
There were 238 residents installed as "neighborhood watch group" last Tuesday. These are 238 "sets of eyes" that will impact and assist taking our City back again, like the old days.
Some other measures that the Mayor has implemented in his first 90 days in office are:
Special Unit Police for Tourists. 13 new cars and 20 Bi-lingual Officers for this special force
Six "Information Booths" from this weekend and through the summer that are staffed with volunteers from the local American Community AND Students from the University of Baja California
A special City Attorney is in place to assist Tourists who may be involved in an accident. This is a bilingual person who will take the tourist by the hand and walk them through the process with speed.

Remember Daylight Savings in Mexico does not start until April 6. USA starts March 9th
Have a great weekend & summer, Diane
