Community Control of Police is supported by 10 community based organizations that have an interest in tenant rights, immigrant rights, LGBTQ+ rights, workers rights, and racial and social justice. Community organizations (specifically non profits) play a crucial role in helping select community members who are most affected by policing to serve on the Community Control of Police board.

Thank you for your support of #7 and for all of the work you do to make our communities safer and stronger for everyone! "I am in strong support of ballot item #7, which is a needed mandate for the Burlington Police Department to engage in real community driven solutions for accountability. Community Control of Police is not a new demand, it is a well vetted community based solution that Mayor Weinberger and BPD have fiercely opposed. This is an important moment for voters to the people to use their power to return power to the people."

"It’s clear that the city’s largest department requires stronger investigatory and disciplinary oversight to support accountability." .citycouncilor said it, despite all the narratives about “defunding” the police, BPD was the only department that did not see a reduction in its budget during COVID, and it has carried forward significant reserve funds to improve its operations.
