I oppose the current allocation of $745,289,000 towards Pheonix Police alone and demand that half of these funds be reallocated to Community Development, Community Enrichment and/or civilian review programs instead - these programs help prevent crime by offering services to help homelessness, poverty and addiction and HOLD POLICE ACCOUNTABLE.
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.
Please reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. The City of Phoenix needs and deserves policing alternatives and investments in mental health and trauma services, education, after school care, adequate affordable housing, quality healthcare, and employment opportunities.
We spend way too much on the police when we could be putting that money toward social programs, healthcare, housing, and jobs! Slash the bloated police budget in half!
I oppose the allocation of such a gross amount of funding towards the Phoenix PD. I believe funds should be distributed towards programs that can sustain a safe community during this pandemic, while allowing our police department only the absolute necessary funding it needs to be able to honestly protect and serve it's citizens.
I strongly oppose 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 and educate our community. Defund the Phoenix PD and allocate 2020-21 city funds to policies and programs that will create and sustain a safe community. We deserve policing alternatives and investments in mental health services, education, after-school care, adequate housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
I highly support the Phoenix Police Department. To defund them at this time would be a travesty. They are already stretched way too thin. They put their lives on the line every single day to protect our community.
Please reconsider the proposed budget of $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. Our community asks you redirect funds to programs that heal and educate our community. Increase the proposed budget $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for the community development and community enrichment.
The Phoenix Police Department is statistically ranked highest in the country for police killing civilians, which is unacceptable.
I strongly oppose a budget that increase to the Phoenix police department. This budget should be allocated for community development and community enrichment. Our city deserves policing alternatives and investments in our community. The Phoenix Police Department is statistically ranked one of the highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians. Support of this budget will not create a safe community.

I strongly oppose the increased budget for the Phoenix police department of the 2020-21 fiscal year. Arizona ranks 3rd worse in education and there is still a pandemic on our hands. These are 2 causes in which some of this money could be allocated towards.
Ever since the Phoenix Police hiring freeze around 2008, our city has been inadequately staffed and severely lacking in supplies. Now that hiring has resumed, the city is still playing catch-up to hire adequate officers to protect our citizens. Please continue to find our wonderful department so we can ensure adequate men and women are hired to keep this great city safe!
Phoenix PD statistically does not have the communities interest in mind with their racially motivated actions, and racial-profiling. Our communities our suffering under the immense corruption of the Phoenix police! I strongly believe that these funds should be allocated to community development and enrichment (i.e. healthcare, education). DEFUND THE POLICE!!
I work with schools, children and adults in Phoenix. I oppose increasing the Police Department budget. Instead, fund the CRB, community support programs, mental health services and childcare offerings in the 2020 - 2021 budget. Begin a study committee on how to defund the Police Department in the next city budget.
I strongly oppose the excessive allocation of funds to the Public Safety Department. I urge you to reallocate this money to community development initiatives such as education, healthcare, mental healthcare, housing assistance, after-school care, and culture. Unlike policing, these initiatives have been proven to reduce homelessness, poverty, and crime. In light of policing's failure to improve our communities, it is time for Phoenix to find another way.

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. I demand that funds used to militarize the police are redistributed to community programs and education in order to uplift our youth rather than incarcerate them. And Finally, I demand that funds are redirected to mental health services to protect our mentally ill citizens rather than push them into homelessness and conflict with police.
I oppose the current allocation of just $400K for the Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT). I ask the Mayor & Council to consider the rights and needs of our citizens & increase the FY21 budget allocation to at least $3M, the amount needed to fully fund OAT's work. The mere size of the Police Department (3200+ sworn officers & 1000+ civilian employees) requires more resources if they are to provide effective oversight and bring us one step closer to making our communities safe.

Create the Civilian Review Board with $3M, fire Chief Jeri Williams, and defund the police.
