A three-year $1.5 million dollar helicopter police contract will not reduce crime. <br />Helicopter -police criminalize our communities and ignite unnecessary fears of the safety of our neighborhoods <br />and are a disturbance. These funds should be invested into our city's youth, parks and recreation, and libraries. <br />We do not need to continue pouring our money into the police (42% in the fiscal year budget of 2019-2020. We <br />need to stop destroying our youth and communities with constant policing and surveillance. We need to direct <br />our energy into our community, into our youth who are our future. <br />Thank you, <br />Maria <br />`J <br />■ <br />
