Jul 14, 2022 01:24 PM234, we do have a committed, dedicated police force. But they are treated like garbage by city council and by the leadership within the police department. Which is why they have record numbers fleeing the department before retirement age. If you interact with ANY of the people who work there, you would know they are treated like garbage. The interim chief has been in the league enforcement game a long time but he is just a politician. He plays the politics games and it infuriates those below him.

Jul 13, 2022 11:00 AMConservative SB- what a stupid comment. Police departments everywhere are having recruitment challenges, and those of us lucky enough to be able to live in Santa Barbara know how expensive it is. I'm far from conservative, but recognize that we have a committed, dedicated, police force that has enjoyed great leadership from our interim chief. I don't think they are treated like garbage- by the department or by the community.
