Police Officers Association has weighed in on elections in jurisdictions beyond the city of San Diego
More recently, the law enforcement union has been attempting to spread its influence elsewhere.
The POA began taking a more expansive and aggressive approach to politics following the election of Sgt. Jared Wilson as its president in January 2022.at City Councilmember Monica Montgomery Steppe, who has advocated for a stronger police review board, changes in use-of-force procedures, raising the bar on when people can be stopped, and diverting some police funding.
Proponents say the ordinance would help reduce the racial disparities in police encounters. Police say such stops are a valuable tactic in preventing and solving crimes. Crucially, the PrOTECT Act would require officers to have “probable cause” to stop people — a higher legal threshold than the current standard of “reasonable suspicion.”
Interestingly, the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association of San Diego is on the sidelines in the supervisor’s race, even though its members are more directly affected by who sits on the county Board of Supervisors.It’s worth noting that although a county supervisor or Assembly member does not vote on San Diego municipal policies, the districts in question do include portions of the city.
