In todays’ world Cities and Counties are trying to fit the theme of the mainstream media of defunding the Police. Here in Sonoma County our Sheriffs’ Department is in jeopardy of losing 14.2 million dollars in funding. Despite the national poll of 16% of US citizens support defunding the police. Of Course, our county Supervisors will blame the Pandemic for loss of funding. According to Sheriff Mark Essick, as said in his YouTube video, we will lose the “Henry 1” Helicopter Program used for search and rescue, staff will be cut, and response times will be in serious jeopardy.
The County Board of Supervisors are going to rule on this in September. It is imperative we need to make our voices heard.
Please contact your Local County Superintendent and let them know how you feel.
