Due to <br />Family commitments, I may not be able to speak to the council tonight <br />so I am writing this response. I will be back in to the chambers in <br />September <br /> <br />So here are my concerns: <br /> <br />Membership on the Commision: It should be open to all citizens of Santa <br />Ana. We are ALL Impacted by crime, not just those who get arrested for <br />committing a crime. At the same time the commission can not be made <br />up of only law enforcement. This commission needs to be balanced, <br />open and fair or it will fail. It is just like sex between a couple. <br />Consensual and it is the most beautiful thing you can experience. But yet <br />if forced by one person on the other, it is dirty and ugly. Please make our <br />commission a thing of pride and beauty <br /> <br />Purpose of A Commission: I think some of the council do not understand <br />the purpose of the commission. It is not to get back at the police for <br />enforcing the laws we need to keep us safe. But to give the citizens of <br />Santa Ana a voice and make the Police Department more transparent to <br />those they serve. Let me point out again that SAPD serves all citizens of <br />Santa Ana. <br />1 <br /> <br />
