Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight. The prerequisite to serving on oversight committee should allow for citizens who have lived in Santa Ana for 10+years, and should NOT be dictated by education level, registered voter, experience/training or criminal background. These criteria are exclusionary/elitist, especially since many of our residence do not have college education or may be undocumented and thus are not registered to vote. The only criteria should be if they are a permanent resident and have lived in the area for a substantial length of time. We need to capture the true demographics and voice of the people of this community and these exclusionary prerequisites are hindering us from doing so. Report of results Need to be able to fight against PD union and internal cover ups Irvine needs this as well maybe we can cover for them Residents of every neighborhood should be encouraged to consider serving. Some educational/training opportunity covering basic existing police policies and legal issues relative to police performance should be available to prepare candidates to serve competently. This is desperately needed in the City, the liability is too high and the $24M is only financial and doesn't factor in the long term damage to the affected parties. PD also needs to be removed from City politics. On scale 1 to 10 where 10 is better an 1is worst, give 3 to the SAPID Police abuse their power ie from speeding, running red lights, turning on their overhead lights to speed and avoid traffic just to turn them off and drive into restaurants to stopping vehicles without cause. Police oversight is crucial to curb attacks on the residents the police claim to protect. There is a reason many residents live in fear of the police. Police are not above the people nor above the law. There needs to be consequences when the public trust is betrayed. I think this is a great idea. More cities should have a civilian oversight committee to review actions by the local police. A police badge should be respected, not only by the populace but also by the individuals who wear it. Independent oversight of law enforcement is necessary to ensure that law enforcement remains true to its purpose, but the power of the police unions, and funding that it can command makes it impossible for elected officials to carry out this, as demonstrated by the recent recall election I don't know we're in a Critic of the Santa Ana Police was removed from office, in large part due to significant funding from law enforcement groups Police oversight and accountability is desperately needed. We need this Like typical America hating liberals, you all have us Santa Ana residents vulnerable to criminals by handcuffing our police. If you want the residents of Santa Ana to be safe, let our police do their job properly. Enough with the police shaming and making an impossible job even harder. Find a life you fools. somewhat of jury style review We need police oversight, we have to make sure there a€TMs accountability like in any other job . None City Council 34 — 69 9/7/2021
