Attorney’s office sent a letter to Lexipol that their policy was “legally deficient”and “does not <br />precisely comport with the legislative changes set forth in AB 392.”This incident is just one of <br />several instances illustrating Lexipol’s consistent pattern of undermining current legal legislation <br />aimed at fostering accountability and transparency in policing. <br />In addition,Lexipol is not the only option for police departments.Local governments have <br />created systems for police rulemaking,independent of Lexipol.Some local governments have <br />implemented a hybrid-model wherein the jurisdiction subscribed to the Lexipol service but <br />continues to publish its own policy manual.Local governments that publish police department <br />policy manuals independent of Lexipol include:Los Angeles Police Department (PD),San <br />Diego PD,San Francisco PD,San Jose PD,Stockton PD and more. <br />It’s time for the City to end the contract with Lexipol and transition towards a more <br />community-oriented approach to monitoring and updating the Department’s Policy.For these <br />reasons,Underground Grit urges you to vote NO on Item 14,and instead explore alternatives for <br />community driven policies with community input.The City should explore options such as <br />allocating additional resources to the City Attorney’s office for in-house police policy <br />maintenance,and collaborate with the newly established Commission to oversee and monitor the <br />Department Policies. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ramon Campos <br />Case Manager <br />CC:vamezcua@santa-ana.org <br />PBacerra@santa-ana.org <br />TPhan@santa-ana.org <br />DPenaloza@santa-ana.org <br />JessieLopez@santa-ana.org <br />JRyanHernandez@santa-ana.org <br />bvazquez@santa-ana.org
