Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Maria Ceja <ceja.maria95@gmail.com> <br /> Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2022 1:13 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Item 38 <br /> Mayor and City Council Members, <br /> It has never been more clear that the City of Santa Ana's Police Department needs to be held accountable for <br /> inexcusable and unjust acts of misconduct. Creating a police oversight commission is the first step to doing so. I <br /> personally believe that we cannot afford to wait until the voters decide on the future of police accountability in <br /> our community, especially if our police department has a failing grade, according to Police Scorecard, despite <br /> spending the majority of our budget on police. However, if it is in the best judgment to allow the public to <br /> decide via a charter amendment, I support its preparation for the minimum requirements for the structure and <br /> scope of authority for police oversight to be submitted to the voters. I fully support the mechanics and <br /> procedures related to police oversight being established via an Ordinance by the City Council in compliance <br /> with the charter amendment. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Maria Ceja <br /> Santa Ana resident <br /> i <br />
