Who’s News In Phoenix Escorts.

Option 1 would impose the same set of rules on all stores, requiring security cameras and other measures no matter how many times the store has called police. Stores that could prove financial hardship might be given waivers for some requirements.
Option 2 would only lightly regulate stores with few calls to the police. Problem stores would face the heaviest regulation.
Dennis Kavanaugh, Dina Higgins and Scott Somers, who began working on the issue two years ago as members of the council’s public safety committee, favor Option 1. So does Chris Glover, a current member of the public safety committee.
Mayor Scott Smith and Councilmen Dave Richins and Alex Finter support Option 2.
Somers told The Republic that unlike the massage parlor and hotel industries, which cooperated in the formation of recent anti-crime ordinances, convenience stores and their corporate lobbyists “have been very adversarial. . . . We did try to go the voluntary route first and had no response.”

SE Valley intelligence hub helps piece together crimes
by Nathan Gonzalez – Apr. 20, 2011 12:22 PMThe Arizona Republic
The first officers arrived about 4:20 p.m. to find Xiaohong Fu stabbed numerous times, partly decapitated and her hands and feet bound with plastic ties.
Those near her Taiwan Massage Parlor at 2635 W. Baseline Road, Mesa, on Dec. 7 heard the commotion and told police they saw a man speed off in a white Chevrolet pickup. Inside, Fu’s business office was ransacked and the contents of her purse strewn on a couch with unused plastic ties lying nearby.
As detectives focused on generating and chasing leads, crime analysts and criminal intelligence officers fed what they knew through the East Valley Gang and Information Fusion Center, an intelligence hub staffed by several Southeast Valley police agencies.

MESA, AZ – Mesa council members approved tougher rules for massage parlors as the city cracks down on businesses it says are fronts for prostitution.
The regulations were adopted by the City Council on Monday, a year after the city approved another set of rules that failed to give police enough enforcement tools.
The East Valley Tribune reports Mesa now requires parlor employees to post massage licenses in a prominent area.
Mesa will not give a license to operators or managers who are facing misdemeanor or felony charges in relation to any other massage operations.
The rules also require a manager to be on duty and limit the amount of time an operation can claim to have a temporary manager.

CAMP PHOENIX, Afghanistan – Nobody’s saying life here is all candy and roses. But there is a massage parlor.
Most of the more than 300 members of the Nebraska Army National Guard’s 1-134th Cavalry Squadron deployed to Kabul right now are stationed at Camp Phoenix, with a smaller contingent down the road at Camp Dubs.
Camp Phoenix isn’t pretty. It’s all concrete, rocks and gray mud, dotted with squat, utilitarian structures.
The air of Kabul can burn your throat, and the wet snow creates muddy paths and massive puddles. Because the base is considered to be under relatively higher threat, weapons are kept loaded.

… It’s come a long way,” said Dennis Kavanaugh, chairman of the council’s public safety committee. “I think the changes are reasonable from a public safety perspective and an industry perspective.”
The issue arose after police tracked 2009 crime statistics and found that of 49 short-stay hotels and motels, 10 accounted for 65 percent of the industry’s 2,970 calls for service.
Most ordinances take effect a month after passage, but this one will have a 90-day breaking-in period so hotels can train their staffs on how to implement the law.
Hotels would be subject to civil fines ranging up to $2,500 for violating the law.
Also Monday the council:
-Approved tougher massage parlor rules, tweaking an ordinance that took effect early last year after Mesa became alarmed over the number of suspicious parlors in the city. One of the biggest changes requires parlors to have managers on duty at all times.
