I like the idea of a community ran review board but I also think that the review board would not have enough power to enforce or take action against police abuses. markers of a useful commission. I urge the staff to incorporate his research to oeve op a model commission in our city. members must have NO affiliation with or influence from the POA. It's continued since March. There's no NEED FOR THAT. Y'all are not doing anything but disrupting the neighborhood. ALSO I had cops come to my house at 6 am because they thought we called them ( I have a video be we have the ring camera also we did not call them). Tell me why one of the cops had his hand on his gun the whole time?? Is this protocol?? Y'all too scared to ring doors you need your guns ready?? I've been seeing cops just cruising, that's all, for a 144 million dollars a year I EXCEPT BETTER. Years I've heard and seen story of the SAPD AND I DONT HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO YOU because I know y'all have heard it too. These cops know what reform. improve our community of Santa Ana and save lifes. This is a good start. This is a good start - needed. Accountabilityli I! ! the phone operators are condescending and rude to us for calling like if we are bothering them and if an officer does eventually show up hours later it is too late and they say we are not the priority. In others cities I have seen people call the police and it's more like a service to them and in our communities the police is not always working streets, or armed cops that are patrolling for traffic violations, and make sure the ones that are out on the streets are being monitored by people outside of the "justice system". positive that "oversight" is absolutely necessary. the head. 1 shooter not 5. Teach them. investigations, the public would see this. They would see that so many public complaints are false or unwarranted and perhaps begin to get an insight into how important yet difficult it is to be a police officer. And for the officers that misbehave, the public would see how the punishment was being carried out and feel better about trusting the police rianger or threat in a victim raising their voice. Unfortunately cops think every little stray from norma cy is a sign of aggression or a sign to arrest someone. Many become cops without understanding mental illness or communication skills between different races, socioeconomic classes or anything - Implementation of higher job requirements such as obtainment of bachelors degree and deescalation courses, recruit more members of the community. Reduce Police Union influence on local elections. agree t ese reviews need to be conducted,but also have a process to deal with a e complaints. A balance o professionals, citizens, and police would allow the police and public to embrace this idea. "commission" is a waste of time and money for everyone involved. Doesn't SAPD have body cameras? If this commission gets approved 1 hope they focus on winning the hearts and minds of the community. The police are not the issue. That's why they have internal affairs and the court system to prosecute bad apples. If only every occupational field had one of these "oversight" boards with random people making decisions on employer/employee matters. Oh and on top of that, the people on the board won't even have police experience? I of responsibilities that the police are tasked with. Police should only focus on investigating and solving crimes. They should not be entrusted to handle issues related to homelessness or mental health. They do not have the education or training to resolve these issues effectively and non-violently. Funds that are used to arm the police with military -style weapons must be diverted to community centers or service workers that should become the first responders to issues related to homelessness and mental health. If we continue to rely on the police to address they must be held accountable, complaints must be investigated thoroughly y independent investigators, consequences should be exacted quickly and must be tough to serve as a deterrence to misconduct 65D-125
