The Tactical Response Unit costs more than 64 million a year! 64 mil to target and terrorize Black leaders and their allies who speak out against Phx PD’s violence. This is truly disgusting and we won’t allow Council to ignore this violence any longer. These cops celebrate their violence against the people they are meant to protect and you all say nothing. Council, do you agree with this racist violence? If not, DO YOUR JOB. Disband TRU and invest the 64 mil in TRUE community health and safety.
If 21 CP Solutions produces a report it should be made public. The City Council hired Matrix Consulting Group, in 2015, to do a comprehensive evaluation of PPD’s internal processes of citizen complaints, use of force tracking, and police misconduct. It led to 35 recommendations to improve PSB integrity. https://www.phoenix.gov/cityclerksite/PublicMeetings/150121014.pdf#search=150121014
That report was never made public. This report should be public.
More performative nonsense by our cowardly City Management. We must reallocate funding to our communities and demilitarize Phoenix Police. We don’t need another hundred thousand dollar report by consultant cops. This screams conflict of interest. It does nothing to address the problem. We are aware and we are watching. This is a TOTAL WASTE of resources. We don’t need numbers and studies. We need you to listen to the 9 citizens petitions demands and take action to support citizen demands now!
21CP Solutions, LLC, staffed by former police officers, is not qualified to provide an independent assessment of the Phoenix Police Department’s activities. If you are committed to a meaningful and truly independent investigation you will back up and follow standard competitive procurement procedures with criteria that are weighted to value history of findings that actually reduce police violence and capacity to be truly independent. Rushing in this case is not helpful, it's just performative.

Cops can’t investigate cops! This is another performative action by our cowardly and useless City Management. We know the only real solution is to disband the unit entirely and defund/demilitarize Phoenix Police. We don’t need another hundred thousand dollar report by consultant cops. We don’t need numbers and studies. We need you to listen to the 9 citizens petitions demands that were filed in February and take action now! #DefundPhxPD

Enough of the nonsense lipservice about "studies" and "reform". Black leaders have been telling you all EXACTLY what the problem is (violence) and who is perpetrating it (police) and against whom (community members, especially poor & BIPOC folks). We don't need a study to know that Phoenix PD is violently racist. Instead of wasting money on promise of "reforms", save us all time and money and just defund the police! You know what actually prevents crime? Education, jobs, housing, healthcare etc.
Ed! Finally some action after we called for your job. Great to see your priorities, bud! Jeff, Council, it's great you heard our demand to investigate TRU. We know you're stalling to avoid accountability. We don't need retired cops from 21CP to give stats about how violent TRU is. Black and brown folx experience it. TRU's 'response' at the protests AGAINST POLICE VIOLENCE prove they must be disbanded now! Black, directly impacted leaders and allies are DONE with meaningless tokens. DISBAND TRU!
Several of this company’s consultants were on the Task Force on 21st Century Policing that issued a report in May 2015. Was this new approach to policing what Portland, Seattle, Chicago and other cities were following as their cities spiraled out of control this past summer? Others of their consultants held recent enforcement positions in Seattle, Chicago, Baltimore, etc. Those cities had far more damage to property and disruption to residents’ lives. Please vote no.
The council doesn’t care how many Black people are shot by phx police, or how many people they’ve deported. You don’t care that there are neo-Nazis in the dept or that protesters are being persecuted. You don’t care that people are dying because they don’t have the resources they need. You’re trying to give phx police more money and more protections and we are bearing the cost. You’re more committed to funding worthless “police reform” than you are to funding actual community safety.
Phoenix Police continue to falsify arrests and records of protestors, it is now documented many times over. We deserve accountability of those paid BY OUR CITIZENS to protect our people.
