https://policescorecard.org/?city=santa-ana <br />Use this Scorecard to identify issues within police departments that require the most <br />urgent interventions and hold officials accountable for implementing solutions. For <br />example, cities with higher rates of misdemeanor arrests could benefit most from <br />solutions that create alternatives to policing and arrest for these offenses. In cities <br />where police make fewer arrests overall but use more force when making arrests, <br />communities could benefit significantly from policies designed to limit police use force. <br />And cities where complaints of police misconduct are rarely ruled in favor of civilians <br />could benefit from creating an oversight structure to independently investigate these <br />complaints. <br />HERE'S HOW TO START PUSHING FOR CHANGE: <br />Contact your Mayor and Police <br />Chief, share this scorecard with <br />them and urge them to enact <br />policies to address the issues <br />you've identified: <br />Mayor Miguel Pulido <br />Phone: 714-647-6900 <br />Email: mpulido@santa-ana.org <br />Police Chief David Valentin <br />Phone:714-245-8003 <br />Advocacy Tip: California's new <br />deadly force law goes into effect in <br />January - requiring departments to <br />adopt more restrictive deadly force <br />policies. Tell your Mayor and Police <br />Chief to adopt a policy that explicitly <br />requires police to exhaust all <br />available alternatives prior to using <br />deadlyforce. Research shows this <br />policy saves lives. <br />Find your US Senator and US <br />Representative using the <br />Campaign Zero Advocacy Tool <br />and urge them to support <br />the PEACE Act, which would <br />require police departments to <br />adopt policies requiring de- <br />escalation and alternatives to <br />deadly force, a change that <br />would reduce police shootings <br />nationwide. <br />8 of 10 6/16/20. 12:24 PM <br />
