My family and I fully support the Phoenix police dept. We understand the importance of a well funded police force-you need to pass this budget. You need to let the police officers do their job. I am from Mexico and now a proud American citizen. This country has provided great work and life opportunities for my family. It's a Great country. The data doesn't show what many here are saying. Don't be simple minded, don't be followers, don't destroy this country.
Allocating nearly one billion dollars to "public safety" is a misnomer. Phoenix Police kill more of the people they are sworn to protect and serve per capita than any other city in the country. Statistically speaking, members of the public are more likely to be injured or killed when a police officer is present than not. Defund this unaccountable gaggle of domestic terrorists and spend the money on community building efforts like schools, housing, and healthcare, both physical and mental.
Please reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. Our community asks that you increase budgets for community development & community enrichment. The city of Phoenix needs policing alternatives/investments in Mental Health,Trauma services, Education/After-School Care. Please allocate funds to policies &programs that will create and sustain a Safe Community.
I am in total opposition to providing $745M to the Police Department. They are currently overfunded as it stands now. We need to take the measures of reducing police involvement and increasing police accountability. Pouring money into a police department that has continually failed to show restraint exacerbates the problem. Fully fund the Civilian Review Board, and social programs that actually reduce crime.
Our community asks that you redirect funds from Phoenix Police to programs that heal/educate our community. Our city, Phoenix, is statistically ranked highest in the COUNTRY for cases of police killing civilians. Police forces across the country have PROVEN that diversifying training has not/will not end police brutality. Our city needs policing alternatives and investments in mental health services, education, affordable housing, healthcare, employment opportunity, and environmental programs.
To whom it may concern, I believe that as a collective the people of Phoenix are opposed to fund the PPD for lack of equal treatment and compassion for the people they’ve been instructed to protect, I definitely don’t want my tax dollars going to them.
We must start implementing systemic reforms to reduce the violence instigated by the Phoenix Police Department. There are dozens of fixes, but to start, I demand that the Phoenix City Council allocate $3 million to the Office of Accountability and Transparency and Civilian Review Board in the 2020 - 2021 budget.
Please reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. We should not be funding an institution that continually harms our communities. Rather, we should redirect the funds towards education and social programs which will help our community.
I strongly oppose the proposed allocation to our public safety department and believe it would be more beneficial to see an increase to community development and community enrichment. Police brutality has been an ongoing issue in our community and outfitting the force with riot gear has only exacerbated the issue, as we saw this past Sunday evening. We need alternative investments to uplift our citizens, not tear them down.
Our Community asks that you redirect funds from Phoenix Police to programs that heal and educate our community. The City of Phoenix is statistically ranked highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians. Police forces across the country have proven that diversifying and implementing various trainings have not and will not end police brutality. The City of Phoenix needs and deserves policing alternatives. Thank you.
Please reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. Our community asks that you redirect funds to programs that heal our community. Increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development
The Phoenix PD is ranked one of the highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Defund the PD and allocate 2020-21 city funds to policies and programs that sustain a safe community.
Defund the Phoenix Police Department and allocate 2020/2021 city funds to policies and programs that will create and sustain a safe community. ENDING POLICE BRUTALITY should be a budget priority. JUSTICE should be a budget priority. Without oversight there will be no consequences. If you TRULY care about our community, then allocate $3 million to fund the Phoenix review board in the June 3rd, 2020 budget.
There is absolutely no reason to funnel $944,680,555 into public safety when the Phoenix Police Department when Phoenix Police have some of the highest numbers of police killings nation-wide. The people who are supposed to be protecting and serving have created a culture of fear and distrust and still refuse to release the identity of the man who Murdered Dion Johnson. Please redirect the bloated funds towards community development and community enrichment.
I strongly oppose the proposed $944,680,555 allocation to the Public Safety Department for FY 2020-21. At least 25% of this allocation needs to be redirected to programs that support community health, housing, education, after-school care, environmental justice, and arts and culture. We need to fully fund the Office of Accountability and Transparency and Civilian Review Board. Phoenix PD is among the highest nationally for civilian deaths and it cannot continue to operate with impunity.

I and our community ask that you redirect funds from the Phoenix Police to programs established to heal and educate our community, including mental health and trauma services, education and after-school care, adequate and affordable housing, healthcare, employment opportunities, and sustainability and environmental programs. The City of Phoenix is statistically ranked highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians; consider redirecting the funds to help instead of harm.
Please increase the budgeting for community development programs, healthcare, mental healthcare and for organizations who serve the most vulnerable and homeless. Reallocate at least 25% from the police and invest in actual communities who need services now. More police and trainings won't solve the disparity so clearly shown in the City's budget. You must actually invest in the communities themselves to create the conditions for safety and peace. Please. Thankyou.
It is time to pass a budget that prioritizes community health. It is time to pass a budget that fully funds civilian oversight. We need a city budget that actually provides support to the people of the city. We need a budget that supports people who have been marginalized instead of continuing the cycle of holding them down.
