Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight. <br />Any Police oversight body should be well trained and educated on the subject matter <br />they will review. Members should be fair, objective and free of biases and prejudice. <br />Members should be Santa Ana stakeholders and residents, selected by the chief of <br />police and approved by the city manager. <br />There should also be a city policy in place to ensure the review process is fair, objective <br />and consistent with the law and industry best practice. <br />I think establishing such a committee would be a great benefit for those who have had <br />bad experiences with law enforcement, having neutral parties investigating makes law <br />enforcement accountable for their actions. I would be interested in such a committee. <br />This is something that should have existed a long time ago <br />Short of defunding, an oversight committee feels like the least we can do as a city to <br />ensure that Santa Ana PD has at least some checks in place against corruption, <br />complacency, overspending, and violence toward citizens. <br />I think this should be taken seriously and the commission members MUST have the time <br />available to put into doing a good job. It needs to be full time (at least to start) and there <br />should be a good amount of training (recommended by SAPD) before any decisions are <br />made. There should be lawyers available for consultation but NOT serving on the <br />commission. All members should be residents of Santa Ana. The commission should be <br />allowed to evolve with respects to what its oversight powers should be. Get the <br />commission established and then let the committee make recommendations to the <br />council (for final decision) as to what is needed once they have a grasp of what is <br />required of them. It would be great if they could all be volunteers, just to be able to save <br />some money for the city and to know that those on the committee are doing it out <br />concern that it's done properly and not for financial reasons. <br />Don't believe oversite necessary ‐ ‐ they are doing fine just the way they are. <br />Community leaders must have their voices heard, it cannot be ex officers as the <br />community will perceive them as biased. This is also the case for relatives of officers. <br />It cannot be exclusive to those with degrees as the average Santa Ana resident did not <br />attend grad school much less hold a PHD. <br />This ought to be representative of the population, therefore using the latest census data, <br />use the percentage of each ethnicity but don't neglect the LGTBQ+ community as they <br />also ought to have representation. <br />That is if the actual intent is to succeed with fair oversight of the people of the city. <br />I would rather have a community liaison committee THAN AN OVERSIGHT COMITTE <br />NO POLICE ON THE OVERSIGHT BOARD!
