The continued militarization of municipal police forces and acquisition of military weapons, equipment, and surveillance technology poses an increasing threat to true public safety. Any military equipment should be fully scrutinized & vetted with the community for need, potential uses and abuses, and privacy & civil rights impact before acquiring or retaining such equipment, regardless of cost or funding source. Chula Vista police has deployed militarized weapons in the City of San Diego during racial justice demonstrations - this is everyone's issue regardless of residency. No to new military drones, and NO to any level of military weapons, tactics, and mindset in civil police forces.
Kathleen Adams
Please pass item #503 as we need to give the police all the equipment they need to keep our city safe. As crime has become more violent, our police need to be prepared to handle all types of crime. I want to feel safe in my city no matter the time of day or night and I do not feel safe in Chula Vista!! Norell Martínez
I ask that before you hastily approve this ordinance, that you take a look at what happened in Uvalde, TX. 21 people died and when police showed up with their military gear, they did not do anything to save these children and teachers. Articles were published talking about how much funding the Uvalde police department had been given for military equipment and they still could't go in and save those children. This clearly shows that more military equipment won't stop tragedies from occurring. I also think A FULL Accounting of Costs, including Training/Personnel Costs should take place. These personnel costs can be some of the biggest expenses, and yet they are not included in the report. We have a state-granted right to know how our public funds are spent on personnel costs associated with military equipment: How many hours of personnel time went into training? What is the estimated cost for that personnel time? Louis M.
Government legislation now labels equipment used by the police department as “weapons of war” Or “military equipment”. But this is the same equipment that has always been used to keep the community safe.
I have no problem with personnel using this equipment because I know they are highly trained.
There have been 202 mass shootings in this nation with 21 being in California.
With the decriminalization of drugs; the reduction of the jail population and the rise of violent crime please don’t take away tools that keep our community and loved ones safe.
Yvonne
In a time when we should be focusing on non-violent interventions, community policing and mental health support, we should not be supporting equipment meant for war. Ridiculous. Hire some mental health professionals instead.
Kathy Hardy
I have always been a supporter of community policing policies where relationships with community members are formed and a foundation of trust is built. What is taking place in Chula Vista is the exact opposite of this type of policy. The militarization of our police force does nothing to engender trust. It’s especially shocking that many of these decisions are being put in place without the input or knowledge of stakeholders. At the very least, it’s incumbent on the City to be transparent on what equipment is being purchased, the costs involved for that equipment as well as the costs for training those who will use it. When the community and the police work together towards the same goals, a better outcome is achieved. It’s disheartening to know that the dynamics involved in this process have done nothing to establish a climate of trust between CVPD and Chula Vista’s residents.
Lois K Klepin
I request a Community Engagement Meeting to be held prior to the public hearing, at a time convenient for the public, outside of working hours, and held in a neutral location such as the library. Chula Vista residents need time to discuss issues related to the militarization of the people we trust to protect us.
Sophia Rodriguez
Please minimize/reduce the purchasing of military equipment.
Margaret Baker
Our Council must not approve Agenda Item 7.1 without changes to the proposed AB 481 policy: in particular, it must modify the proposed policy to comply with AB 48. Currently it fails to include limits on use of chemical agents & impact projectiles for crowd control, compliance with a law enforcement directive & other AB 48 provisions. The inventory sections on projectile launchers & chemical agents do not meet the requirements of Gov Code Sects 12525.2, 13652 & 13652.1 (AB 48) prohibiting the use of chemical agents or impact projectiles to disperse any assembly, protest, or demonstration, to force compliance with a police order, enforce a curfew or in response to a verbal threat.
The militarization of our police is the antithesis to our city’s purported values. The blanket adoption of the use policies and acquisition of military equipment in Chula Vista must STOP. City Council is responsible for scrutinizing each type of equipment for its use and impact. No more blanket approval of the PD plans. South Bay People Power demands a proper vetting process with time for community engagement and revisions to this critical Report and the Use Policies and Procedures.
Justin Akers
Chula Vista City Council: I am a longtime resident of Chula Vista and am very disturbed and disappointed that you are greenlighting an endless series of processes that are creating a militarized police dept. From surveillance technologies, drones that constantly fly over my neighborhood and house, to now pushing through a policy to allow for more procurement of military equipment and technology that will do nothing to provide safety and security, but will lead to further erosion and violation of rights of community members. Why are you rushing this through passage, and without any community engagement or scrutiny? Where is the most recent annual report on the use of existing military equipment that you are required to publish? Why are you turning Chula Vista into a laboratory of militarization and surveillance? Why is there no end to this buildup? Why are you so eager to turn the CVPD into a functional military? Do not move forward with shady, non-transparent process. Why not establish privacy and civil rights protections instead (in the form of ordinances & an independent Privacy Advisory Commission)? Show the people of Chula Vista that you have concern for their rights, that you are not opportunists looking to cash in to the arms and surveillance corporations that are clearly driving this, and are not willing to let the rights to privacy and civil rights be trampled by allowing the police become an occupational and surveilling force in our communities and neighborhoods.
Pati Ruiz
I urge Councilmembers to allow us, Chula Vista citizens, more time to review the Military Equipment annual report. Studies show that Police militarization fails to keep officers safe or prevent violence or harm in communities. Please do not approve this without an expanded period of robust public vetting of the policy.
Wendy Gelernter
I oppose the military equipment report and request that Council members conduct due diligence before the addition of even more military equipment to the City’s arsenal.
Chula Vista still has not implemented Privacy policies or formed the Privacy Advisory Commission recommended six months ago by the community experts on the Privacy Task Force. Meanwhile surveillance technology, armored vehicles, assault rifles, teargas, ‘less lethal’ launchers and munitions, and other weaponry may be used against members of our community, without protections for our civil liberties and safety. This is just wrong — morally, economically and for public safety.
Brenda Aguirre
As a resident of the Southbay border region of San Diego, I understand how the constant over-policing, militarization, and surveillance has negatively impacted our community for years. The city has been quietly approving the purchase of military equipment through the council's consent calendar and accepting private donations with little public scrutiny or oversight. The emphasis on militarizing our police force goes against our city's values and our now lapsed designation as a certified welcoming city. It's crucial to regulate police acquisition of military equipment, as studies have shown that the militarization of police departments leads to an increase in civilian deaths. Military police teams are also more often deployed, and communities of color do not approve of this policy without an extended period of public vetting. Therefore, it's essential to have a more transparent and inclusive process when implementing these policies.
Kathy Hardy
Once again, the City is putting “the cart before the horse”! When did it become appropriate for the City to skip the important requirements for community members to review CVPD’s Military Equipment Report or participate in a community engagement hearing before approving this ordinance? This defiance of the rules does nothing to enhance transparency or build trust with community members. Effective partnerships between CVPD and community stakeholders requires an open dialogue. This is an essential step in trust building. The militarization of policing across America is making many feel that local police agencies are at war with their residents. This current lack of transparency in CV gives credence to this belief! What do the CVPD and City leaders fear by following a collaborative model as opposed to a back door deal? I am asking for the City Council to follow the standards set by AB 481 instead of ramming another ill-conceived dictate down our throats! Lois K Klepin
I am concerned that the acquisition and use of military-grade equipment by Chula Vista Police will not reduce crime, but will result in the creation of a community of fear.
I am also concerned that using military-grade equipment will lead to increased violence against police officers.
Please slow down the process of obtaining weapons of war and allow time for the community to consider ways to eliminate unintended consequences.

Margaret Baker
South Bay People Power supports the recommendation from the Ad Hoc Committee on Welcoming City to seek certification as soon as possible.
We would like to thank Deputy Mayor Preciado and Councilmember Cardenas for meeting with us and other immigrant rights advocates from various community-based organizations to present our concerns and expectations.
To recap, our community expectations include the following:
*Rejoin Welcoming America Network;
*Commit Resources to Achieve and Maintain Certification as a Welcoming City; *Strengthen Policies by enacting ordinances and independent oversight; *Implement Programs that proactively address immigrant community needs; and *Identify Connections and Differences between Welcoming City and JEDI Initiatives.
Based on our knowledge and experiences as residents and community advocates, we support the call for Chula Vista to achieve certification status and demonstrate its commitment as a Welcoming City.
Nancy Relaford
I strongly support the ad hoc committee's recommendation that Chula Vista recertify as a Welcoming City as quickly as possible! Certification brings recognition, resources, and accountability for the City. I also want to express sincere gratitude to Deputy Mayor Preciado for pursuing this issue and calling for the ad hoc, and to DM Preciado and CM Cardenas for taking time to hold fact-finding conversations with many different parties, including community members, before making their recommendations. Your openness and interest are so appreciated! Carolyn Scofield
I support the ad hoc community’s findings and recommendations for Chula Vista to become re-certified as a Welcoming City as soon as possible. This program intentionally creates, fosters, and strengthens pathways and procedures for immigrants to fully and safely participate in all that our City has to offer. Thank you.

I wholeheartedly support the recertification of Chula Vista as a Welcoming City! I appreciate Council Member Cardenas and Vice-Mayor Preciado’s recommendation and feel it’s time to “right a wrong”! The original certification was a proud moment for our City and our immigrant population and it should never have been allowed to lapse.

Thank you, Councilman Preciado & Councilwoman Cardenas, for spearheading the movement to make Chula Vista a Welcoming City once more. I full-heartedly hope the full Council will vote to proceed on recommendations to allow immigrants a voice in our community and assure their protection.
