  • Keep Our Brier Police - Don't Outsource to MLT!
    Brier has one of the lowest crime rates in the state. A strong Brier Police presence helps keep our community safe, deters criminal activity and strengthens our property values. I'm signing this petition to send this message to the Mayor and City Council: 1) There needs to be transparency in this decision. Community input should be actively sought and decisions should not be made without extensive outreach with taxpayers, and 2) We need to invest in our Brier Police force to keep it strong, not dismantle it by outsourcing functions to another city

  • Law Enforcement Only Registry in Vermont
    Vermont has had critical errors on the audits that have been performed since Act 58 passed in 2009, costing the State of Vermont money; with the financial constraints that the State finds itself in, now is the time to save money. With the registry bloated by the low, medium, and moderate risk offenders, the Department of Public Safety has less time to monitor and track the offenders who are high risk and judged to pose a greater risk to the community.

  • Mayor Jordan: Independent Accountability for Law Enforcement Needed
    We were the victims of an extortion demand and death threat, and we do not feel that we were treated fairly during the investigation, the investigation was not handled professionally, nor was the threat taken seriously and our safety the first priority. There currently does not exist an independent citizen committee to review cases such as ours, and we think this is the first step to bring attention to the need for such a committee.

  • Reject the Application for the Transitional House in Black Rock
    On January 26 the Bridgeport Planning and Zoning Committee will hear a petition from an organization that wants to build a 41-bed transition facility in Black Rock for convicted felons eligible for early release. The proposed site is within five blocks of the Burroughs Community Center and Wakeman Boys & Girls Club. The developer wants to buy and demolish three properties (39 Hubbell Street, 254 Orland Street, 873 Ellsworth Street) to build one large detention facility.

  • Modifying the interrogation process
    After watching a documentary about the Central Park Jogger case back in 1989, I was left wondering if cases of false confessions still occur. As of February 4, 2014, 1,403 people have been exonerated in the United States since 1989, according to the National Registry of Exoneration. I created this petition in hopes that forensic psychologists can be put in the room during a police interrogation in order to make sure confessions aren't being coerced. This will serve as a checks and balance system for police officers during the interrogation process because, as of now, there is no one overlooking police officers during interrogations.

  • End life sentences for first time offenders in Oklahoma.
    My husband was given a life sentence plus 15 years to run consecutively and charged with 2nd degree murder for a fatal car accident. This is the prime example of excessive/harsh sentencing. With no priors, there's nothing to suggest he's a violent or habitual/career criminal. Please help my family and I put a stop to the injustice shown in cases like my husband's. Please help to give my husband the opportunity to come home one day and prove he can be a productive citizen again. Each and every signature is very much appreciated.

  • Accountability for torture
    I work overseas and the torture done by the U.S. and the continued existence of the prison at Guantanamo are a stain on this country's reputation as a democratic society. All citizens of this country would hopefully be in accord with this.
