One of the most vital areas of the APD is Victim Services. They handle domestic violence, sexual assaults, hand out 911 phones to beaten and battered women. They are certified counselors with bachelors, masters. They route homeless to the right area. Yet they are in the budget cuts.
The 911 call center which has a small amount to do with police they handle calls and route them to either a counselor, police, fire, EMS.
Definitely going to try and vote them out next election cycle. This is bull**** and will endanger others.
