Zuniga, Diana <br /> From: Johanna Perez Herrera < <br /> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2025 4:01 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Vote No on Item 29: Defend the Santa Ana Police Oversight Commission <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> Santa Ana City Council, <br /> Dear Mayor Amezcua and the Santa Ana City Council, <br /> I am writing to strongly oppose item 29, the proposed amendments to the Police Oversight <br /> Commission ordinance being considered at your July 1st meeting. <br /> The original vision behind the Commission was to ensure that our city had independent <br /> oversight of police conduct, something the people of Santa Ana have long demanded. But <br /> these amendments would undermine that goal by: <br /> - Stripping the Commission of its power to conduct independent investigations. <br /> - Limiting its review powers to only certain types of complaints, and only after SAPID has <br /> already completed its own Internal Affairs review. <br /> - Eliminating the Commission's ability to make disciplinary recommendations. <br /> - Cutting off communication between the Commission and City leadership. <br /> - Blocking the Commission from engaging with the public. <br /> - Requiring Commissioners to undergo police-led trainings instead of independent ones. <br /> These are not minor adjustments, they are deliberate efforts to weaken accountability and <br /> transparency. If passed, these changes will turn the Commission into a symbolic body with no <br /> real power to protect the public or prevent harm. <br /> 1 <br />
