Law enforcement in the United States appears to be at a turning point.
The proliferation of video cameras has brought the reality of police brutality and misconduct to the wider public consciousness. It has also highlighted the often unrealistic demands we place on officers, particularly dealing with untreated mental illness and substance abuse, for which a badge and a gun is a poor solution.
It is clear that the nature and role of policing needs to be rethought. Even relatively quiet and secure Napa faces an era of reform and reorientation in law enforcement.

The bad news?
If you live in an apartment or mobile home, your rate will rise gradually over the next six years.
And if youâre the owner or operator of a business, whether commercial or manufacturing, youâre likely to see a more substantial increase.
Itâs important to understand why this is happening.
The Sanitation District, like other service-delivering public agencies, is required by law to reassess its costs and reset its fees every five years. The formula is relatively simple: take the total cost and divide it by the customers and thatâs the new rate. The agency is permitted to distinguish between types of customers â setting different amounts for a house and a restaurant, for example. But the agency cannot discriminate between customers, forcing homeowners to pay for expensive commercial services or gouging businesses to keep residential rates artificially low.
