CC RESOLUTION 3422RESOLUTION NO. 3422
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA ENDORSING LOS ANGELES
COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S PROGRAM DIRECTED
TOWARD STREET DRUG DEALERS
WHEREAS, tougher sentences for street drug dealers is
the aim of a program recently introduced by Los Angeles County
District Attorney Ira Reiner, a program which would accomplish
the following:
1. State Prison Sentences for Street Drug Dealers.
In cases of possession for sale or sale of cocaine, heroin or
PCP, the District Attorney shall seek the maximum appropriate
State prison sentence. On all cases of possession for sale
of cocaine, heroin, or PCP, or sale of cocaine or heroin, where
probation is legally permissible and which are first offenses
involving nominal quantities, the District Attorney shall urge
the sentencing judge to impose a suspended mid -term State prison
sentence with a minimum of six to twelve months in county jail
as a condition of a three -year probationary grant. On all subse-
quent cases involving the above described offenses, the District
Attorney shall urge sentencing judges to impose immediate state
prison sentences.
2. No County Parole for Street Drug Dealers. In
any drug case of possession for sale or sale where the defendant
is sentenced to county jail, the District Attorney shall urge
the court to order that the defendant is ineligible for parole.
3. No Bail for Repeat Street Drug Dealers. Whenever
a defendant is on probation for sale or possession for sale
of narcotics and a petition for violation of probation is filed,
it is the District Attorney's position that the defendant be
held without bail until disposition of the case and
WHEREAS, the District Attorney's Office further is
asking that special narcotic courts, devoted exclusively to
cases involving street drug dealers, be established; that special
probation violation courts be set aside to hear petitions for
violation of probation; and that bail be substantially increased
for defendants charged with dealing narcotics;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of E1 Segundo
endorses the Los Angeles County District Attorney's program
aimed at tougher sentences for street drug dealers.
