Subject: Outsourceing of public safety
Greg,
Please do not support the outsourcing of public safety in Los Gatos. Disbanding the Los Gatos -Monte Sereno Police
Department and having the Santa Clara County Sheriff provide public safety services is a big step in the wrong direction.
In any case, please work to put this item early on the Council's next addenda (not very late Tuesday night)

Subject: Policing
Hi Greg,
I agree with Jonathon that the policing issue should be delayed and be put in front on another agenda. This will create a
firestorm and should be thoroughly vetted.

Subject: Please do NOT outsource Public Safety
Dear Los Gatos Town Manager and Council Members,
My name is Serpil Bayraktar and I am a resident of this charming town for the last 3 years. I have just been
informed that there is an agenda item to discuss closing our own Police Department and outsourcing Santa
Clara Sheriff Department for the protection of our town. Honestly, I could not believe my ears! One of the most
important aspects of living here is the safety and courtesy of our police department. I interacted with Los
Gatos/Monte Sereno police officers twice during a party in my neighborhood and found them to be very
courteous, attentive, and present with authority in the situations they were addressing. Releasing our town's
safety to a big county with lots of different communities will certainly push me to reconsider living in this
community as a single mom. If we need cuts, we should consider reducing other expenses or organizing more
cultural events to bring in more people to our community and more money.
Thank you for considering my input in your decision on this matter,
Serpil Bayraktar

Subject: Outsourcing our Police Dept.
Hi everyone,
I just want to say this PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS H H!
As a victim of a terrible crime I have to speak out at what it meant to us to have the police Dept here in town to help us.
With the crime rate and invasion robberies on the rise this is a terrible thought to even have.
Please don't have a Pollyanna attitude about our beautiful little town.
This will effect Los Gatos negatively on so many Levels, I really don't want to start to mention all of them.
I am sure you have a good reason to consider such an action but PLEASE DO NOT I
Respectfully yours,
Jeanette
Sincerely,
Jeanette Blacy G.G.
