Defund the Phoenix PD and allocate 2020-21 city funds to policies and programs that will create a safe community. Increase the proposed budgets for Community Development and Community Enrichment. Phoenix Police is statistically ranked highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians. City of Phoenix needs and deserves policing alternatives and investments in mental health/trauma services, education and after-school care, adequate housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
Hello, as a citizen of the Maricopa county and the city of Phoenix, I am asking for the proposed combined police budget/public safety of $994 million to be redirected instead to funding public housing, education, transportation, and health services. I also urge the council to increase the budget for community enrichment, community development, and environmental services. The budget should aim to help increase employment opportunities that are unrelated to the penitentiaries.
In order to actually improve our community, Phoenix PD funds must be reallocated to actually improve and sustain our communities, to schools/youth programs, programs involving mental and public health, programs that address homelessness/housing issues, and programs that provide employment opportunities. In light of the current protests and conversations happening all over this county, the funding for the Civilian Oversight Board should be approved and increased to greater than $400,000.
The Phoenix PD is statistically ranked highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians. I urge you to reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. I ask that you redirect funds to programs that instead heal and educate our community. Our city needs policing alternatives and investments in mental health and trauma services, education and after-school care, adequate housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
I am contacting you to reconsider the proposed $994,680,555 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. Increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development and community enrichment. The city of Phoenix deserves investments in mental health and trauma healing services, education, housing, and employment opportunities.
The budget in its current form allocated an irresponsible surplus of funding towards Phoenix police. That department has shown that they cannot be trusted to appropriately use those funds by focusing on escalating militarization of equipment and egregious OT. The recent national backlash of their aggressive tactics against their own taxpayers has only made them more combative and isolated from the rest of government. The only responsible option is to redirect their funding to public enrichment.
As a concerned member of the Phoenix community, I demand the you redirect funds from the $721million Phx PD budget back into our communities. We must have the full $3 million to fund the Civilian Review Board and the Office of Accountability and Transparency. Phx PD has done nothing to solve the poverty, unemployment, housing, education, mental health, or substance abuse issues that are negatively affecting our communities. Our communities need those funds to be healthy and prosper.
Defund the Phoenix police. To improve services and resources for our community, these funds must be shifted, to housing, community enrichment, sustainability, and public transit. These are all much more important.

Defunding police means avoiding further opportunity for police violence and civic disruption based on these issues. Arizona is known for having one of the most disproportionate counselor to student ratios in America - please reallocate any funding which would have otherwise been invested toward SROs or police, and instead invest this money into professionals who are truly educated in deescalation, mental health, as well as investing in other programs which promote enrichment and growth.
PLEASE reconsider re-allocation of the proposed funds to our Public Safety Department. Our community is DESPERATE for this adjustment and could use more funding in educational programs, public housing, public transit, community enrichment programs, etc.

The Phoenix Police Department statistically ranked first in the nation for cases of Police killing civilians. I urge to to use these funds instead to invest in mental health, trauma services, Education, Healthcare (including gear for our doctors and nurses on the frontlines of Covid19!!), and employment services. Please help us create a safer community by actually putting funds INTO the community, rather than further militarizing our police force.

Our community asks that you redirect funds to programs that heal and educate our community. I implore that you increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development and enrichment with this money instead. This will give Phoenix the chance it deserves to be a flourishing community that supports ALL.
I strongly ir he the council to reconsider the proposed budget for the department of public safety. Redirect the budget towards education, community help centers, public transportation services, and healthcare services. This amount of money can and should be used for the good of the people, not against them.
As an Arizona tax payer, I believe the police should be defunded. There is no reason to spend almost $1 billion on a police force that does not protect the community and is known as the most lethal police force in the nation. Our police are best known for murdering innocent unarmed people of color and are an embarrassment. Funds should be allocated to libraries, hospitals, parks and rec, and other beneficial departments to the community. Defund the police.
