Ontario Police hosting Click It or Ticket campaign

By Liset Marquez on May 19, 2009 3:23 PM | | Comments (11)
The Ontario Police Department, in an effort to help bring everyone home safe for the holidays, will be aggressively enforcing the state's seat belt and child safety seat laws during Click It or Ticket mobilization, taking place May 18-31, 2009.
The campaign relies on heavy enforcement and public education as a means to help reduce deaths and injuries on California's roadways. California currently has a seat belt use rate of 95.7 percent.
If stopped and found to be in violation, law enforcement will issue citations without warning. Tickets for first seat belt violations range from $80 to $91 for adults and $330 to $401 for children under the age of 16, depending on the county.
More than 280 law enforcement agencies statewide will be participating in this year's Click It or Ticket mobilization.
Funding for officer overtime to support California's Click It or Ticket campaign was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Ontario citizen to receive reward for reporting dog fighting

By Liset Marquez on May 15, 2009 5:31 PM | | Comments (22)

Press Release from the Ontario Police Department:


On May 22, a concerned citizen will be receiving a $5,000 reward for reporting dog fighting.  The reward was made available from the Humane Society of the United States in Washington D.C.  Deputy District Attorney D. Ploghaus contacted the H.S.U.S. after the nine individuals were arrested and convicted for their involvement in the dog fighting.

On March 5, Jimmy Galvez of Ontario, saw a group of individuals standing in a circle encouraging two dogs to fight.  Galvez witnessed one person physically pick up one of the dogs that attempted to get away and throw the dog back into the middle of the group.  The dog was forced to continue to fight another dog. Galvez called the police who arrived at the location.  Four pit bulls were found, two with injuries and bloodied.  All nine adult males at the location had blood on them.

Charges of dog fighting and being present as a spectator at a dogfight were filed.  Two defendants were charged with a felony for dog fighting.  The other seven defendants were charged with a misdemeanor for being present as a spectator at a dog fight.  Two of the dogs had to be euthanized.

Dog fighting is illegal in all 50 states. The intervention stopped the abuse and cruelty to the animals involved.
