Downey Criminal Attorneys

Downey, California is a city located in southeast Los Angeles County with an estimated population of 107,117. Downey is known as the place where many of the systems for the Apollo Space Program and Space Shuttle were created. For more than 70 years, The Rockwell plant was instrumental in developing and testing much of the greatest aviation, missle and space programs.

Downey also has a unique history in the fast food industry. The oldest surviving McDonald's restaurant still stands. It was almost torn down after an earthquake but public demand allowed it to be saved and people can still visit the restaurant as well as the gift shop and museum. Downey is also the home of the first Taco Bell restaurant.

There was a time when Downey had a significant crime problem, most notably with gangs. To address this, Downey formed Gangs Out of Downey, a community-based program that works with young people to stay away from gangs. While there is still some gang activity, it has decreased significantly. Crime as a whole in Downey has seen a drop in recent years.
