Santa Rosa Police Foundation knows that a safe community is one who actively partners with, supports, and genuinely values their local law enforcement for the sacrifices they make every day to keep crime out of our city. We back the badge, we support the blue (police) and gold (dispatch) line (and all first responders), and we will now and forever be thankful for the Santa Rosa Police Department.
We recognize that to many, this was just a banner that was criticized, then taken down and apologized for, but to sworn and civilian professionals from all departments locally and abroad, it was blatant and hurtful manipulation of a symbol of honor, integrity, and commitment to service. We hope that you will use your voice at the city council meeting tomorrow, and at the public safety subcommittee meeting on Wednesday to show your support of SRPD. Meeting details are below.
