If we don't show support for our public safety, what other options are there? What nonsense we have created with the ideas that social workers, non-sworn personnel, and citizens would challenge violent offenders, assist the mentally ill community, and control the skyrocketing level of crime in our city. Crime is up!....There is no other solution other than provide the money and community support for our men and women in BLUE!
Please support and vote YES for increased police funding. We must ensure we can attract and retain officers. The majority of voters support and back our police officers. Public safety must be a top priority of the mayor and council. I support 100% increased funding for officers.
Please support this item to keep our City competitive with other Valley law enforcement agencies. We need to be able to effectively recruit and retain highly qualified police officers.
Our police officers are understaffed on the streets and under-supported at City Hall. Hiring more officers isn’t about resources; it’s about prioritizing public safety. Better training and better pay will go a long way in improving the police force of the 5th largest city in America.
I strongly urge you to vote YES on this to improve the most important resource we have at the city, our law enforcement officers.
Please support this amendment, the city must ensure job classifications that give the 5th largest city in the US to attract and retain high quality employees to provide sworn police services. A poll conducted early this year revealed that 76% of Phoenix voters support increased police funding. Our violent crime rates continue to rise as evidenced by a 24% increase in homicides 2021/2022 YTD comparison. Public safety is the number one priority for the mayor and city council.
Please support this amendment. We are losing dozens of officers every month with little back fill and hundreds of our most senior officers are already eligible for retirement. Response times are increasing at a scary rate and case loads are pilling up. This amendment will help recruit and retain the officers we need.
The Phoenix Police Department, which is currently under investigation for its misconduct, does not deserve a pay raise. The City should divert funds from Police to vulnerable communities in the form of housing, education, community development, and human services - each area of which offers intervention points that can prevent crime before it happens by ensuring that people are able to support their basic needs. Police are a fatal end-of-pipe solution that will never address the root of crime.
