Good evening, supervisors. I am here standing in solidarity and asking for the defunding of the Sheriffs Department and request it be redirected towards multiple populations and in my work i have had the special opportunity to work for residents and employees who have seen firsthand the negative impact policing has had on our community and life threatening situations.
