THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL:
Should the city seriously evaluate contracting with the Santa Clara County Sheriffs office for law enforcement services?
Yes: 10 No: 2
■ Yes. All options should be considered. That said, I would have some big concerns with the implementation. The opportunity should be reviewed with a very critical eye.
■ Yes. Any creative solution to lowering out of control city police and fire services costs should be considered!
■ YES, evaluate, but this could be a real bucket of snakes.
■ Is this because there are not enough Gilroy City police to protect the citizens? If so, then yes. If not, then hire more city police to ensure citizen safety.
■ Yep. Couldn’t hurt. Might be a better deal. Might shake up the Police Officers Association.
■ Yes. Evaluating ways to increase services or cut costs should be the Council’s top priority, and there should be a protocol in place when it is done.
■ No. Gilroy’s Police Department is exceptional and has an excellent reputation throughout California’s law enforcement departments.
■ Yes. The city should be open to options that would save money in these economic times as long as it does not compromise citizens’ safety.
