Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight. <br />It's extremely necessary. We need to hold police accountable and they cannot feel like <br />they have all the power in our community. They should never feel comfortable. If we <br />cannot abolish the police right now, then police oversight is the bare minimum we can <br />do to ensure Santa Ana residents are safe from police violence and corruption. <br />Anyone on the civilian oversight body should have no police affiliation, including being <br />former police themselves <br />I come often to the park with my son and there’s sometimes guys next to the <br />restroom which is scary. <br />I come often to the park with my son and there’s sometimes guys next to the <br />restroom which is scary. <br />Thank y’all for creating this survey <br />Mechanism must be independently funded. Funds must be protected. Members must be <br />protected from any and all retaliatory action. Members must essentially act as a check to <br />balance, in accordance to and in the interest of the Santa Ana residents. <br />Police oversight should be a neutral agency that reviews unjust use of police force and <br />over interpretation of the law to criminalize unknowing people. The ultimate goal would <br />be to hold the police accountable when they overbreach their power. The agency should <br />compose people highly trained in law and criminal defense. <br />It is vital that a police oversight board be established which is independent and is <br />representative of the communities most affected by policing issues. Independence and <br />power are NECESSARY to make this entity meaningful, beyond just surface level <br />performative gestures. <br />The people most impacted by over policing should be the ones on the oversight <br />committee. We have heard at council meeting of police knocking door to door helping in <br />some areas and harassing people in others areas. <br />COUNTER SURVEILLANCE is key to holding police accountable. They act right when <br />they’re being watched. <br />DEFUND THE POLICE <br />Members of the police oversight committee should be diverse and actually represent the <br />population of the residents of Santa Ana. They should also include residents in <br />neighborhoods who are most affected by police brutality and violence. It's important <br />that outiside lobby money does not affect the decision of who serves on this committee. <br />Police Oversight should be for the people of Santa Ana with no hidden political agenda
