EDITOR,

The escalation of criminal activity in Tracy is a serious concern, and I want to say thank you for the efforts of the Tracy Press to cover the news related to these incidents. You have been keeping your Web site current with breaking news, and the result is that you are keeping this issue in front of Tracy’s citizens. Awareness is a key component of mitigation and compels people to take action.

Please continue your efforts to expose this evil in our community. This is an issue that needs heroes, and you can have a tremendous effect through maintaining community awareness of this problem. I encourage you to find more ways to investigate this problem in our community and help expose its roots and possible solutions. 

I think it’s also important that you cover what our local officials and law enforcement agencies are doing or not doing about this problem so we can be better informed participants in the solutions and political process. 

Please continue your efforts to cover this issue and consider ways in which you might increase your investigative coverage.

I think a big part of the solution would be to inform the citizens keeping them abreast of what has been done by ordinary citizens in Tracy who were part of the solution. I don't think they adequately told that story or perhaps were not made aware?
