Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight. <br />If this oversight committee is established, then the city council should have one <br />established to oversee themselves. The police have the toughest job and are always <br />criticized no matter what they do. The very few who feel that they were not treated <br />correctly more than likely put themselves in the predicament. Fund the police more and <br />hire more officers. <br />Policies of Transparency, for both the police and police oversight committee will make <br />things easier for everyone. <br />This is a waste of money. Focus on catching criminals, not hamstringing our police. <br />This must be an advisory role only. No authority over terminations or discipline outside <br />of making recommendations. Only one year terms. This avoids potential corruption and <br />entrenchment, giving other citizens the opportunity to participate, and providing a <br />contemporary sample of the various views held by the taxpaying and vested citizens of <br />our city. <br />Think this Oversight committee is a good idea. Some police officers are too strong in <br />language, and really dons€TMt care what a city resident has to say, other officers are kind <br />and willing to listen to what a complaint might be. Big disconnect here between some <br />responding officers attitude and resident needs for corrective action. My experience has <br />been - some SAPID officers want to address criminal behavior not quality of life <br />issues.This city needs officers who will address both. Thank you. <br />Oversight committee should be a combination of law enforcement, civilians and possibly <br />a criminal lawyer. Civilians would not have enough experience to be effective Oversight <br />committees. <br />Police does not respond when called <br />I believe police oversight is needed and the individuals who serve in this committee <br />should have the ability to separate personal biases. This committee should not be used <br />to retaliate against law enforcement, but one that collaborates and works along <br />residents and law enforcement. In addition it should be used to find gaps within LEAs. <br />Gaps referring to legitimate needs of residents not preferences. <br />Should include how sapd receives and spends funds <br />A civilian should not have or partake in any oversight on police matters. We need to <br />protect the integrity safety out Police Department and officers!! <br />We want real accountability with real consequences for breaking laws and protocol <br />Again. Please do not waste tax payer money on this. Concemtrate on fixing the streets. <br />getting rid off the homeless situation. Stop being a sanctuary citya€"this only protects <br />criminals. I could go on and on. <br />City Council 34 — 70 9/7/2021 <br />
