Rohnert Park is looking to increase security around the city's sanctioned homeless encampment near Highway 101 and at the nearby business plaza to address safety concerns. The city is proposing to add additional police presence or a security guard, increase communication with businesses in Rogers Plaza and fund upgrades at the plaza to deter theft and crime. The city is also working with the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office on additional enforcement options. The improvements and added police presence are estimated to cost $200,000, though longer-term options like opening a Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety office at the site or hiring full-time security would require bigger investments, ranging up to $2 million a year.
