Election Day Is Here!
Today is the Last Day to VOTE in this election - from 7am to 7pm. My message here is focused on Prop. A.
Why We Are FOR Prop. A:
ENSURES ADEQUATE POLICE STAFFING: Requires a minimum of 2.0 police officers per 1,000 population, a nationally recognized standard for safe cities, combined with a minimum of 35% community response time. (Current APD police staffing is 300 to 400 officers short of that, and what it was just a few years ago.)
DOUBLES POLICE TRAINING: Requires an additional 40 hours of post-cadet class training hours per year, making Austin the national model for police training
ENACTS POLICE REFORMS: Includes provisions to boost minority hiring (through foreign language proficiency), ensure racially diverse community policing, and provides retention bonuses for officers without police complaints ("Good Conduct Medal" eligible officers)
Please encourage anyone who hasn't already voted, including your friends and family, to make it to the polls between 7 AM and 7 PM to VOTE FOR PROP. A. Save Austin Now spokespeople believe this election is close. TODAY's voting WILL BE DECISIVE.
