Defund the Department of Public Safety. They do much more harm to the public than good. Please use funds that would be directed towards them for health, education and social welfare programs.
Phoenix police actively harm residents and speaking personally make my family and friends feel unsafe when they are around.
As a resident of Phoenix, I urge the City Council to allocate a minimum of $3 million to properly fund the Office of Accountability and Transparency and Civilian Review Board in the 2020-2021 budget. Our communities continue to be harmed by Phx PD, we must hold them accountable.
With the city's struggles with police brutality and the ongoing epidemic, I oppose the budget. At least 3 million dollars should be reallocated from Public Safety to the Civilian review Board and the Office of Accountability and Transparency. The public would be better served by community efforts and retraining. Additionally, with cases of Covid-19 continuing to grow in Arizona and the Navajo Nation, money from Public Safety should be spent on City Improvement, such as the ASU School of Nursing.
I strongly urge you to defund the Phoenix PD. The money should be allocated towards community health services, education, housing, and food - all essential services that Phoenix residents desperately need during a pandemic. The Phoenix PD is racist, violent, and harming our community. Listen to the demands of protestors in Phoenix (and worldwide) and use this opportunity to enact change that will benefit our community. Defund the Phoenix PD.
I oppose the proposed budget increase for the Phoenix Police Department. Instead of rewarding an already heavily funded department for inciting violence against peaceful protests, I would like you to divert this money toward education and the office of environmental programs. Support sustainability. Fund the health and well-being of Arizonans. Do not increase the militancy of our police force, an action that will only instill fear in Arizonans.
I oppose providing funding to the Phoenix police department until substantial changes are implemented, including but not limited to much greater officer accountability and a diverse citizen review board with the power to fire a police employee from their job.
My name is Adam Lynch and I am a Phoenix area resident. I oppose the allocation of $944,680,555 towards the public safety department for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. City Council should re-allocate much of these funds toward the proposed $24,760,742 for community development and $26,837,014 for community enrichment. I hope to see Phoenix standing on the right side of history by investing in it's community and preventing the further militarization of Phoenix PD.
I strongly oppose the $994M allocated budget for the Phoenix Police Department. When we live in a state that is 48th in education we need to prioritize other things that we obviously have issues with. I will be clear that 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 completely oppose adopting a budget of $994M for the Phoenix Police Department. As the Phoenix is one of the deadliest and most violent forces in the country, I believe that the majority of the Phoenix PD's budget would best serve the community if invested in other critical areas- such as healthcare, housing, and education.
Reconsider where you stand on how you value your citizens lives.
There are so many civil services that could use even a fraction of that money to something infinitely more useful than the phx police. One of the most brutal departments in our country.
We are in a pandemic. Where is the money to health care to protecting the homeless to protecting jobs. Do not fund the police department.
I oppose the proposed budget plan and demand funds be reallocated from Phoenix PD to community programs and the extremely necessary OAT/CRB, which requires no less than $3M.
I oppose any additional funding for the Phoenix PD. The money can and should be put towards more meaningful and productive initiatives that will better serve the community.
I oppose the $944,680,555 budget allocated to Public Safety while we only allocate $51,596,756 budget allocation to Community Development and Enrichment (budgets of $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 respectively) for the 2020-21 Fiscal Year. I think the current state of police brutality shows a dire need to come up with alternatives to violence such as mental health and trauma services, education, healthcare, housing and other community-focused endeavors will prove more fruitful budget allocations.
The police force does not need its budget expanded to nearly $1B. Let’s instead invest in sustainable, long term safety measures that include more access to mental health resources, general healthcare, education, housing, etc.
I do not believe taxpayer dollars should be allocated to the DPD. Since our Police Department is one of the most violent in the country, I believe that money should be sent elsewhere until the Department proves itself able to handle cases without unnecessary violence, and capable of protecting our minority communities without simultaneously terrorizing them.
I strongly oppose an increase win funding for the Phoenix police, the deadliest department. Instead, these funds should be put towards communities and improving the lives of citizens with things such as employment services, housing, general healthcare, mental health services, educations, etc. Instead of putting more money towards and institution that harms the people it is meant to protect, put it towards the people.
I oppose the proposed budget increase for the Phoenix Police Department. Instead of rewarding an already heavily funded department for squashing peaceful protests, I would like you to divert this money toward education and the office of environmental programs. Support sustainability. Fund the health and well-being of Arizonans. Do not increase the militancy of our police force, an action that will only instill fear in Arizonans.
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. In such a chaotic time, we need changes that are positive instead of funding violence and destruction.
Funds should be diverted from the Phoenix Police Department to programs for mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment and are, affordable housing. Funding these programs will reduce police contact with citizens and be a proactive rather than reactive approach to addressing difficulties faced by our most vulnerable neighbors.
