Dear Members,
Tomorrow, the LA Police Commission will vote to effectively end pretext stops, taking away a valuable tool to keep guns, drugs, and repeat offenders off the streets. We need you to get engaged so the perspective of LAPD officers is heard. Otherwise, it will be the usual anti-police voices purporting to represent the entire community.
There are two ways you can help. First, we need you to speak publicly at the Police Commission meeting and voice your opposition to changing the current pretext policy. The meeting starts at 9:30 AM and the information to log on or call is below. Second, you can send an email to the Police Commission if you have not already done so. Scroll down for directions on how to email.
