REPORTS

Gente Organizada has examined data on Pomona Police Department overtime spending by the City of Pomona to hold the city accountable for its excessive spending. The data shows that the city spent $7.7 million on Pomona PD overtime pay with no clear public safety strategy or accountability over the spending. The funds used to pay excessive overtime for Pomona PD employees should be reallocated to address the needs of youth, families, and community.

Gente Organizada has examined data on school discipline from Pomona Unified School District (PUSD) to hold the district accountable for its responsibility to Pomona’s youth and immigrant families. The data show that staff too frequently respond to student behaviors with exclusionary discipline, including suspensions, expulsions, and calls to police. These practices criminalize BIPOC students and push them out of school, which are forms of institutional violence.

Gente Organizada has examined data on staff abuse of students from Pomona Unified School District (PUSD) to hold the district accountable for its responsibility to Pomona’s youth and immigrant families. After 18 months of negotiation, Pomona Unified produced more than 20 employee files of current or former staff that had credible allegations of abuse filed against them from approximately 2011-2020.
