Salas, Diana <br />From: KJ Hobby <kjhobby98@gmail.com> <br />Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2020 11:47 AM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Police Oversight Committee <br />To whom this may concern, <br />My name is Kevin Hobby II and I am emailing you with interest in the thought of a Police Oversight Committee <br />in Santa Ana. I am not an official resident of Santa Ana; I live in Brea, however, I view all of Orange County as <br />my home and spend a good amount of time within the city of Santa Ana. As a young Black Man, I spent most <br />of my adolescence having to be taught and self -educate myself on the fact that there is a set of unwritten rules <br />that people of color must adhere to when interacting with law enforcement; unwritten rules that you may not be <br />aware of if you are not a person of color. What occurred in Minneapolis with George Floyd is not a <br />new situation, there is just a bigger spotlight on the situation now. With the spotlight being as enormous as it is <br />now, it is time for us to execute solutions. I am not seeking a role on the oversight committee, I am only looking <br />to assist your community with the knowledge that I have attained and also give an outside perspective that I <br />believe could benefit the city of Santa Ana. I look forward to hearing a response and hopefully one that allows <br />me to be a part of the progression. <br />Best regards, <br />Kevin Hobby II <br />
