Please reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department. We ask that you redirect these funds to programs that heal and educate our community, such as education, environmental, mental health, public transit, and after-school care programs. Increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development and enrichment. The Phoenix Police Department is statistically ranked one the highest in the country for cases of police shooting civilians.
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, Adequate Housing, Healthcare, & Employment Opportunities. Defund the Phoenix PD and Allocate funds to policies &programs that will create and sustain a Safe Community.

I am opposed to the allocation of $944,680,555 to the Public Safety fund for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. I echo fellow constituents in that the City of Phoenix Police Department has had a horrible record of violence, and I believe that prioritizing their funding over community welfare only validates and enables that violence. The Public Safety fund should be reduced, and that money allocated to Community Development, Community Enrichment, and Transportation funds.
Phoenix is one of the largest cities in the U.S., and yet its police department is understaffed. Those officers serve and protect everyday without question and deserve to go home safely to their families. Your first priority is the safety of the community and their property. The budget shouldn't be in question. You should be asking, what more can we do? Not doing so is reckless and will lead to more lawlessness.
Opposing an increase in funds for the police is not a vote against safety, nor is it even a vote against the police. I’m asking you redirect some of the money toward community education, development and enrichment. Please find the CRB at $3 million, to empower and trust our community, and please increase funding to services like education, mental health and trauma services, job training & opportunities, affordable housing, health care — all of which will increase safety, security and wellbeing.
I demand that the Phoenix City Council allocates at least $3 million to the Office of Accountability and Transparency and the Civilian Review Board in the FY 2020-2021 budget. The Phoenix Police rate as one of the most lethal police forces in the country. It is irresponsible to allocate $944,680,555 to the Public Safety Department. Defund the police and invest in the people of Phoenix, specifically our most vulnerable communities by supporting community-led initiatives.
In 2018, the Phoenix police department killed more people than any other police department in the country. We MUST hold this department accountable. 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.
Thank you for crafting this balanced Budget. As City of Phoenix Small Business Owner and Resident, I am in support of a budget that includes tenets of a Sustainable City namely, services promoting health, safety, wellness and economic vitality for all.

This is outrageous. The police force has proven to us and the world they are incapable of performing their basic duty; to keep us safe. Instead they march around in combat gear, terrorize peaceful protests from a grieving community, and infringe on our first amendment rights. What do you need 900million for? More combat gear? Meanwhile our medical workers are working in GARBAGE BAGS AND HOMEMADE MASKS DURING A PANDEMIC. Our money, our choice to who it goes and it’s not the police department.
I am requesting the Phoenix City Council allocate $3 million to the office of Accountability and Transparency and Civilian Review Board in the in the 2020-2021 budget on June 3rd. The Phoenix Police department has a history of violence towards the communities they swear to honor and protect and need to be held accountable. I am not asking for the dismantling of the police, just some oversight to ensure that they are doing what they should be doing for these communities.
As a state, we need to fund education, where we rank extremely low in the country, and stop funding an obscene amount to the police force, which has also been ranked as one of the highest in brutality rates. Our priorities should be educating the public, funding the future of our people, instead of simply trying to keep them down and under extreme force. We should be absolutely saddened to see Arizona among the poorly educated and the correlation is clear - we are not funding the people.
I am demanding the Phoenix City Council allocate $3 million to the Office of Accountability and Transparency and Civilian Review Board in the 2020 - 2021 budget on June 3rd. These are two entities designed to increase civilian oversight of the PHX PD to end police brutality. This NEEDS to be done.
I oppose the $944,680,555 budget for PPD/Public Safety. With the PPD being statistically ranked as highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians, this is an absolutely unacceptable use of our money. We need to allocate these funds to other services that will protect our citizens more than these police officers (mental health services, trauma services, community development, education, affordable and adequate housing, healthcare, and the Civilian Review Board).
As a mental/behavioral health professional, I know that the science shows that we are more effective and efficient when we are proactive rather than reactive.
Disproportionately funding the police over social programs is inefficient and essentially demonstrates that The Phoenix City Council believes our community is beyond saving, that we would benefit more from being policed rather than being fed, educated, housed, employed, healed, and heard.
Neutral on the overall budget, but favor the police being fully funded. Not the stupid oversight committee. We cannot continue to live in a city of lawlessness because the Mayor and Council Members don't support our officers. Fund them and empower them. Stop undermining the good becauae of a few bad.

We must not react rashly to a sensitive and complicated issue by defunding our police and other public servants.
