Santa Ana City Council,
Santa Ana City Council and City Manager Alvaro Nunez,
As a concerned resident of Santa Ana, I am calling on you to take immediate action to restore the integrity of our Police Oversight Commission by hiring an Independent Director without further delay.

The commission was created to ensure transparency, accountability, and justice in policing but for nearly years, it has been paralyzed due to the City' s failure to fill the Director role. In the meantime, Santa Ana police officers have shot and killed multiple residents. Without a Director, the commission cannot investigate these incidents or respond to community complaints. The Director is essential for initiating investigations, issuing subpoenas, and producing public reports— core functions that empower the Commission to hold the police department accountable. The one- year legal deadline for launching investigations is quickly approaching, risking the loss of any path toward accountability.

These delays are not just bureaucratic oversights— they have real and devastating consequences. Families are grieving, communities are demanding justice, and trust in local government continues to erode.

I urge you to act now: immediately appoint an Independent Director and ensure that funding for the position is preserved in the upcoming budget. Santa Ana' s residents have waited long enough — the time to fulfill the purpose of the Police Oversight Ordinance is now.

Subject: Accountability Can't Wait: Let's Fulfill the Promise of Police Oversight Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
Attention: This email originated from outside of City of SantaAna. Use caution when opening attachmentsor links.

Santa Ana City Council,
Dear Santa Ana City Council and City Manager Alvaro Nunez, We built the Police Oversight Commission to be a beacon of justice and accountability— a commitment to our community that no one is above the law. Yet, without an Independent Director, the commission is stuck on the sidelines, unable to do the work it was designed to do.

This isn' t about assigning blame; it' s about taking action. I know we all share the goal of making Santa Ana a safer, more just place for everyone. That' s why it's crucial to move forward — to appoint a Director who can initiate investigations, issue subpoenas, and ensure transparency.

We' ve seen the real consequences of delay. Since the commission' s inception, lives have been lost in officer- involved shootings, and families are left searching for answers. The one- year deadline for launching investigations is fast approaching, and every day without leadership makes accountability harder to achieve.

The community has shown incredible patience and resilience. Now it's time for us to meet their commitment with action. Appointing an Independent Director will honor the promise we made when the commission was created — to put justice first. Preserving funding for this role in the upcoming budget will ensure it can fulfill its purpose.

We have an opportunity to show our community that we don' t just make promises— we keep them. Let' s take this step together and restore faith in the system we worked so hard to build. 1 Sincerely,
Khloe Rios- Wyatt
CEO & Founding Member

The one- year legal deadline for launching investigations is quickly approaching, risking the loss of any path toward accountability.

These delays are not just bureaucratic oversights— they have real and devastating consequences. Families are grieving, communities are demanding justice, and trust in local government continues to erode.

I urge you to act now: immediately appoint an Independent Director and ensure that funding for the position is preserved in the upcoming budget. Santa Ana' s residents have waited long enough — the time to fulfill the purpose of the Police Oversight Ordinance is now.

Santa Ana City Council,
Santa Ana City Council and City Manager Alvaro Nunez,
As a concerned resident of Santa Ana, I am calling on you to take immediate action to restore the integrity of our Police Oversight Commission by hiring an Independent Director without further delay.

The commission was created to ensure transparency, accountability, and justice in policing but for nearly years, it has been paralyzed due to the City' s failure to fill the Director role. In the meantime, Santa Ana police officers have shot and killed multiple residents. Without a Director, the commission cannot investigate these incidents or respond to community complaints. The Director is essential for initiating investigations, issuing subpoenas, and producing public reports— core functions that empower the Commission to hold the police department accountable. The one- year legal deadline for launching investigations is quickly approaching, risking the loss of any path toward accountability.

These delays are not just bureaucratic oversights— they have real and devastating consequences. Families are grieving, communities are demanding justice, and trust in local government continues to erode.

I urge you to act now: immediately appoint an Independent Director and ensure that funding for the position is preserved in the upcoming budget. Santa Ana' s residents have waited long enough — the time to fulfill the purpose of the Police Oversight Ordinance is now.

In the meantime, Santa Ana police officers have shot and killed multiple residents. Without a Director, the commission cannot investigate these incidents or respond to community complaints. The Director is essential for initiating investigations, issuing subpoenas, and producing public reports— core functions that empower the Commission to hold the police department accountable. The one- year legal deadline for launching investigations is quickly approaching, risking the loss of any path toward accountability.

These delays are not just bureaucratic oversights— they have real and devastating consequences. Families are grieving, communities are demanding justice, and trust in local government continues to erode.

I urge you to act now: immediately appoint an Independent Director and ensure that funding for the position is preserved in the upcoming budget. Santa Ana' s residents have waited long enough — the time to fulfill the purpose of the Police Oversight Ordinance is now.

The commission was created to ensure transparency, accountability, and justice in policing but for nearly years, it has been paralyzed due to the City' s failure to fill the Director role. In the meantime, Santa Ana police officers have shot and killed multiple residents. Without a Director, the commission cannot investigate these incidents or respond to community complaints.

SantaAnaCityCouncilandCityManagerAlvaroNuñez,
Asa concernedresidentof SantaAna, I amcallingonyoutotakeimmediateactiontorestore theintegrityof ourPoliceOversightCommissionbyhiringanIndependentDirectorwithout furtherdelay.

Thecommissionwascreatedto ensuretransparency, accountability, andjusticein policing — butfornearlyyears, it hasbeenparalyzeddueto theCity’s failuretofilltheDirectorrole. In themeantime, SantaAnapoliceofficershaveshotandkilledmultipleresidents. Withouta Director, thecommissioncannotinvestigatetheseincidentsorrespondtocommunity complaints. TheDirectorisessentialforinitiatinginvestigations, issuingsubpoenas, and producingpublicreports—corefunctionsthatempowertheCommissiontoholdthepolice departmentaccountable. Theone-yearlegaldeadlineforlaunchinginvestigationsisquickly approaching, riskingthelossof anypathtowardaccountability.

Thesedelaysarenotjustbureaucraticoversights — theyhaverealanddevastating consequences. Familiesaregrieving, communitiesaredemandingjustice, andtrustin local governmentcontinuesto erode.

I urgeyouto actnow: immediatelyappointanIndependentDirectorandensurethatfunding forthepositionispreservedin theupcomingbudget. SantaAna’s residentshavewaitedlong enough — thetimeto fulfillthepurposeof thePoliceOversightOrdinanceisnow.
