Greetings!
I'm happy to announce that the City of Santa Rosa has agreed to cooperate with Homeless Action!'s Homeless Legal Services Project in the full release of the infractions issued by its Police Department since January 1, 2016. Together with the records from the City's Arrest log listing misdemeanors, the Project can now research the history of what the City has called "Quality of Life" offenses.
Homeless Action! has also submitted a Public Records Act request to the City to obtain a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City, District Attorney, Public Defender, and Probation which the City Attorney announced in August was being developed to implement a set of procedures in which those charged would be prosecuted.
A future post on this blog will detail what we have found, and what we are doing to minimize the criminalization of our homeless residents.
