It is unfathomable that our elected leaders would allow conditions at <br /> the Police Department to deteriorate to this point. Any city's primary obligation and responsibility to its citizens is to <br /> keep them safe, and you are failing in providing the fundamental service. To believe that we will remedy this situation <br /> with compensation that is below that of our regional competitors is beyond comprehension. Our officers have served <br /> our community with pride and professionalism in the most challenging environment of any of our lifetimes, and it is time <br /> to provide more to thank them for their service. It is time to provide them with the compensation they deserve and that <br /> the market demands. It is time to invest in one of our most valuable resources; it is time to invest in our police <br /> officers. As a parent of three school aged children, I am very concerned your lack of action will negatively affect the <br /> safety of my children. I specifically moved my family to Pleasanton for the safe community we were once <br /> accustomed to. <br /> Asok <br /> aspectfully, <br /> 1 <br />
