Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a San Antonio resident calling from [YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD/DISTRICT].

I'm calling to demand three things from City Council before any SAPOA contract negotiations conclude or decisions to hire more officers are made. I'd like to leave this message for [COUNCIL MEMBER'S NAME].

First, I'm demanding an immediate audit of SAPD line items with consistent overspending over the past 3 to 4 years. This needs to happen before any contract negotiations close. Audit findings in cities across the country routinely uncover millions of dollars in misused funds, non-competitive contracts, redundant systems, and excessive overtime abuse — and San Antonio deserves to know what's happening with our money.

Second, I want a full compensation analysis — one that includes all overtime, specialty pay, and incentives — so the public has an accurate picture of what average officer compensation actually costs this city.

Third, any findings from that audit must be made public with actionable solutions. Whether it's wasteful spending, mismanaged funding, redundant systems, or excessive overtime — the council needs to present real answers, not just numbers.

Can I get a response on where [COUNCIL MEMBER'S NAME] stands on these three demands?

Thank you for your time.
