From Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez Desk – Introduced A Motion that Seeks to Expand Deployment of Unarmed Response Models

The deaths of Keenan Anderson, Oscar Leon Sanchez, and Takar Smith underscore that our work in reforming procedures, demanding accountability, and expanding deployment of unarmed response where appropriate is far from over.

It’s why, today, I introduced a motion that seeks to expand deployment of unarmed response models that can better handle mental health and domestic dispute emergencies.

This remains among the most pressing public safety issues and priority for policy and budget deliberations this year.
