Dear Commissioner (Insert Commissioner’s name here)

My name is (Insert your name here), I’m a (Insert demographic, age, gender, race etc, here) residing in (Insert neighborhood or community here) as a (Insert profession here).

I’m writing to acquire answers to the following questions in regards to Police, Police Policy and Policing Methods within my community.

1-      How are you ensuring that the members of the departments, which you are responsible for, are being held responsible for their actions?

2-      What actions do you take, or would you take, in the event Abuse of Power took place within the departments you are responsible for?

3-      How are members of the departments you are responsible for, being trained to deescalate potentially dangerous situations, and carry out their duties without using violence?

4-      How are you evaluating the overall mental health, and individual mental health of the members of the departments you are responsible for, and how are you ensuring that conditions such as trauma, PTSD, depression, and social biases, for example, are not playing a part in the decision making of such department members both on duty and off duty?

5-      How are you combating bigotry and biases within the departments you are responsible for?

6-      How are you ensuring that solving victimizing crimes takes priority over victimless crimes and revenue generating tasks, within the departments you are responsible for?

It is important to me that the Mayor’s Office, Board of Commissions and Police Department not participate in Abuse of Power, and that such entities protect my community, as well as me, from Police Brutality.

I thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and in advance for responding with answers. In addition to providing me answers I request that you also prioritize the Prevention and Punishment of Police Brutality to the absolute best of your ability, and to the furthest of your reach.

Sincerely,

--(Insert printed name here)
