Pet abandonment & strays

I’d like to know what type of training the officers receive for interacting with individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis and how often they need to take refresher courses.

Show everyone what's it like in your shoes. Bet they never really know what a Officer deals with.

Get the flock out!

Love having the FLOCK Cameras all over Yakima County

Please keep the flock cameras. They make our community much safer. Only the criminally minded need to worry about them.

I would say why is the worst part of town next to the police station wouldn’t that have to be the safest spot?

Thank you asking for community input.

Thanks for reaching out! My opinions: 1. Homeless people need to be treated with respect. If they are breaking the law, even then treat them with respect. So many have mental issues. Some are addicts that need advice on information where to get help. Women and teens need driven to a shelter or hospital. Being a Public Servant includes being trained in dealing with mental illness. 2. Police budgeting HAS TO INCLUDE training in working with mental illness, not shoot to kill. Two or more police shouldn’t be shooting multiple bullets to bring ANYONE down. If police pass weapon tests it shouldn’t take 4-30 bullets to stop someone. And why shoot to kill? Aim at leg or arm. Especially when there is a slight doubt the person isn’t carrying a gun. And if they are using something different for a weapon like a knife, club, another manual weapon that’s when hitting their legs or arms is safer for all.

I appreciate you asking.

Not every homeless person is an addict or mentally ill. There are veterans who fought for our country then got shit on by our government when they came home. There are people who lost their jobs during Covid or when their employers shut down and they were unable to find other employment. There are young people out there trying to find jobs, unable to get hired due to inexperience, who have been kicked to the curb by their families. Also, not every addict is actively using. There are addicts who are in recovery and doing everything they can to stay clean. Those who have never experienced homelessness have no idea how difficult it is to get off the streets, how hard it is to get a job when you are homeless. Part of the homeless problem is the judgment and poor treatment toward those who are trying to figure things out and get their lives back in order.

I can’t even imagine people not wanting flock cameras. If I’m in a wreck and my dashcam doesn’t record what I need I would get the footage from a flock.

Flock cameras now track all bluetooth connected devices, wearables, and pet chips. Total and complete state surveillance. Get the flock out of Yakima.

Mo flock mo flock mo flock

Continued: 3. FLOCK cameras are necessary for too many reasons to mention. If people aren’t guilty then they should have no problem getting their vehicles photoed. It’s more important tool for helping a kidnapped child or if a vehicle runs a light and hits someone. If people are concerned about losing their identity then they shouldn’t even be using a computer or any media outlet. K9’s are needed to search & catch. I respect our police officers. I DON’T believe ICE officers are legally trained to do what that group does! And WEARING A MASK IS A SHOW OF ILLEGALITY in my book. A MASK hides something. True Police Officers don’t have to HIDE behind a mask. And the only protesters that have KILLED police have been the attackers on our country Capitol protecting our Democracy. 3. When states and counties hire people to join their forces, a STRICT and THOROUGH BACKGROUND CHECK in ALL data bases needs to confirm applicants previous employment experience. I have your backs if you follow the law like is expected of the people you work for. Thank you for your service. 🙏🏼✌🏼

We need more flock cameras around the parks and down town around the schools and businesses. The homeless people on the streets now are there cause they don't want to give up there drugs and go to a sober living place theu would rather be on the streets doing drugs and getting hand outs.

Need to be able to select more than 1 topic, there's more than 1 issue off concern. Who ever is doing these surveys need some life experience.

All gun laws are unconstitutional. Obey your oath

More reports please.... shouldn't have to choose or wait for whoever else decides....MORE PLEASE

Honestly how fast police drive, one was going so fast up nob hill he almost lost control of his car, he would have killed me. Also speeding when they're not on call.

I'm concerned that zero fvcks are given when a business asks for help.

Forget all of that! They need to be bringing new businesses into Yakima. I feel like this town is 2 years away from being in a recession. It's summer time and hardly any companies are hiring. No more coffee shops or taco stands, we need factories! Or that homeless problem is going to be a lot bigger discussion in 2 years.

Everyone that complains about the flock cameras seems to have forgotten that not too long ago Yakima was in the top ten for stolen cars

They CHOSE to do drugs and drink (the homeless). Nobody forced them and they do not want help. Taxpayers pay for rehab and no sooner they get out, they are back to do it again. I am sure there are few and far in between that do go and stay clean, but not the majority. If they are mental, then they belong in a mental institution. As far as flock cameras? I think if they are used for good fine, but if it is another way for the government to have control, then hell no. The thing is they catch these scumbags, and because we have a liberal gov and judges, they get a slap on the wrist and right back out again. Which makes having proof total B.S. So, unless you get rid of the liberals, nothing is going to change. We need to be much stricter.

Broadcastify.... We here..

HEAR. ...

What are you asking for?

Why the PROACT Team is working the homeless problem instead of arresting the worst of the worst. The City Council should be out dealing with the homeless that they created. Maybe then they would start getting rid of problem. All they do is suck the budget.
