First Name Allegra Last Name La Ferr Email Address allegralaferr@me.com Phone Number 310 625 1664 Comments Hi there. I am a constituent of Bozeman and am concerned with the current budget and allocation of resources in regards to the police department. I see that there is an 8% increase in the proposed budget this year for the police department and I urge you to use some of this increase towards hiring peace keeping officers or school counselors. We need non-violent specialists to tackle issues like welfare checks, helping the homeless population, and those dealing with mental illness. If you must increase the budget please use that increase towards hiring non-violent specialists, school counselors to work with law enforcement, or other social services to benefit our community as a whole. If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
