Support efforts or funding opportunities that would assist in the <br />successful redevelopment of San Leandro’s shoreline area. <br />Sharing Economy.Support legislation that enhances the ability of local governments to fairly <br />regulate sharing economy services such as ride share and short-term rentals to protect public <br />safety, ensure tax & fee collection, and adequate supply of rental housing stock. <br />Law Enforcement & Public Safety <br />Body Cameras.Support legislation addressing best practices for the use of police body-worn <br />cameras, while balancing the needs of the public and law enforcement personnel. <br />De-escalation Training & Funding.Support efforts that would provide additional funding or <br />training opportunities for law enforcement and public safety personnel on tactics designed to <br />defuse or de-escalate interactions with potentially violent individuals and/or persons suffering <br />from a mental health crisis. <br />Disaster Prevention and Recovery. Seek additional funding, and expand the definition of <br />programs eligible for grant funding for disaster recovery and prevention. <br />Drones.As the use, and need for drones expands, so does the discussion on local control and <br />privacy.
