If all goes to plan, the Antioch City Council will appoint three candidates on Tuesday to the Antioch Police Crime Prevention Committee. The committee is a volunteer group of 7 residents involved in Neighborhood Watch groups and programs.
Three applicants were recently interviewed for three existing vacancies which include former Mayor James Davis, Audrey Taylor and Karen Williams. If appointed, they will be seated at the regularly scheduled Police Crime Prevention Commission meeting on Nov. 18 for a term of four-years each.
According to the staff report, here is a list of each applicants three main reasons for interest in the appointment:
James Davis, 55-year resident
- Improve Antioch’s Crime Issue
- Expand Neighborhood Watch Program
- Promote Antioch’s Image
Audrey Taylor, 16-year resident
- Concerned about escalating crime
Karen Williams, 12-year resident
- Increase awareness throughout the community
- Reduce Crime
- Provide a good quality of Life
The council does have the option of re-advertise to the public to fill the vacancy.

hopefully davis will not be appointed. he is/was directly responsible for the mess antioch is in.
How can a council who is expecting to pass a Measure for more police choose to appoint a former mayor who took the police force from over 120 offices to below 90?
Mr Harper dislikes Mr Davis so he won’t appoint him. Although he may just fool us all. Two passive aggressive people may learn to get along.
see, he fooled us again. they all keep each other in office.
Karen Williams is a mother of two school age children and has been active in Neighborhood Watch and school safety issues.
We believe that she would fit the Commission role expertly.
Mr A. No problem with the ladies. They will probably both make it.
Why has the police commission had such a turn over in the last 2 years?
Karen Williams will represent our community well on the Police Commission. City Council, please approve her appointment.
good luck audrey….
