Public Safety Forum 2015

Find out more about the consequences of Assembly Bill 109 (Prison Realignment) and Proposition 47 (Reduced Penalties for Some Crimes Initiative).

This community event will be moderated by Lynn Robinson, former Mayor of the city of Santa Cruz, and will feature public safety advocate Lynne Brown and a panel of local experts:

• Sheriff Jim Hart, Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office
• Police Chief Kevin Vogel, City of Santa Cruz Police Department
• District Attorney Jeffrey Rosell, Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office
• Chief Probation Officer Fernando Giraldo, Santa Cruz County Probation Office

Lynne will deliver a brief but compelling multimedia presentation, which will shed light on information not disclosed to the public about policies that diminish safety in our communities. This will be followed by comments from our panel and Q & A with the audience.

Tickets are available via Eventbrite.

All net proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the S.C.P.D.
