The Phoenix Police Department is statistically ranked one of the 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 and investments in mental health and trauma services, education, and after-school care, adequate housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities.

I stand in opposition to the City Manager's proposed budget, but more importantly in solidarity with countless City residents whose voices and rights will be severely diluted without adequate funding of a Police Civilian Review Board. You risk being bystanders to history and custodians to further widespread harm in the absence of such a proven, effective tool to build trust in our Community; I strongly urge you to support a mechanism to hold our Public Safety servants accountable to the people.
I strongly oppose this budget. The percentage of funds dedicated to the police is not only morally wrong, it is an insult to all Arizonans. Make a real difference and allocate that money towards public education and show us that you care about the people in your state.
Please reconsider the proposed funding allocated to our Public Safety Department. Our community asks that you redirect those funds to programs that heal and educate our city. The city of Phoenix needs and deserves policing alternatives and investments in mental health and trauma services, education, after-school care, adequate housing, healthcare and employment resources. Allocate 2020-21 city funds to polices that will create and sustain safe communities.
As an Arizona resident, I strongly oppose the $944,680,555 allocated for 'public safety' and ask that these funds be redirected to community development and enrichment. Specifically, this money should be redirected toward mental health and trauma services, education and after-school care, adequate housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities. The Phoenix police department is statistically ranked highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians. Our police must be demilitarized.
Reconsider the proposed allocation to the public safety department and reduce funding to police. Please direct more funding towards budgets for community development and community enrichment. Phoenix police consistently ranks high across the country for police killings of civilians. Police forces across the country have proven that current training and diversifying of the police force has not reduced instances of police brutality. We need to demilitarize the police and have them serve us.
As a Phoenix resident, I am requesting a reallocation of funds for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. Please consider investing more into programs that directly build and enrich the community, such as education, mental health, and other sustainable initiatives.
I strongly oppose this budget increase. The Phoenix PD has a history of using excess, lethal force that must be addressed, not rewarded. Far too many Phoenicians are already paying for this department with their lives - I am shocked that we are now expected to pay additional tax dollars too. We as a city should not be spending nearly a billion dollars on something that we know does not work. Please reconsider redirecting these funds to programs that uplift our communities.
I strongly oppose the $994M being allocated to the Phoenix Police Department. I will not support an institution that antagonizes and unfairly targets minorities and people of color. Direct these funds towards community development, community enrichment, and environmental services.
I strongly oppose the increase in funding of the Phoenix Police. The funds should instead be diverted towards community enrichment efforts such as education, mental health resources, healthcare, etc.
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 from the proposed public safety budget to programs that heal and educate our community. Increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development and community enrichment.
I oppose the amount of funding the PHX PD is receiving. It is an astronomical amount of money that should be reallocated to things like education, healthcare, affordable housing, employment and sustainability opportunities that build an overall better community.
I strongly oppose this budget. A significant portion of the money assigned to the brutal phoenix police must be reassigned to progressive, restorative social services. Most importantly, our critically underfunded public education system. That is the platform upon which we can strive for equity in this community.
I strongly support passing the budget. Law enforcement can not make any changes without proper funding.Those against this proposal are viewing it with anger and not looking at the entirety of the situation.You call for civilian review and change within the departments,but that's not possible without funding.Yes there are some horrible officers, but tell me what occupation doesn't have those.As a combat vet I have seen the side of ugly and death from people.Officers don't wake up wanting to shot
I oppose the portion of the public safety budget that is allocated to the police force. The police must be demilitarized in order to properly protect and server the community and that will not happen without reduced funding. That funding should be given to programs that will help community health such as social services. We need a stronger community not more policing, especially when that policing is being done over aggressively and dangerously.

As a resident of Phoenix, I strongly urge you to defund our police force. There are plenty of resources with evidence that less police, with lesser pay, improve crime statistics by leading to a reduction in crime. Our city needs to cut the force and train the ones who remain on deescalation tactics and should be tasked with rebuilding trust with the community.

OPPOSE!! Increasing the police budget will only bring more state violence! Please we beg of you, do not fund the police!

The police are already grossly over funded. Put these dollars to work in our communities, building them up to be strong, resilient, and sustainable.

Fund the Civilian Review Board at $3 million. We need accountability, and we will all be safer with a robustly-funded CRB.
