Susan-I would love to make a statement of support for Chief Cantrell,but cannot be present as I'm in�r4ar�� h�r-�'�""�w��"�
law's funeral. Here is my statement in case anyone would like to read it out:
My name is Michelle Call,Executive Diredor of GALA,and I would like to speak in support of Chief Deanna Cantrell.Chief Cantrell's
innovative and supportive approach to police work in San Luis Obispo has improved conditions in a tangible way.The Police and
Communiry Together Task Force is a vital cooperative coalition that makes our city better conneded and better protected.Chief
Cantrell's attitude is most definitely one that represents what we want San Luis Obispo to be,and we are the better for having her.
There is no denying that leaving a firearm in a fast food restroom was a big mistake that could have had dire consequences,however
her behavior afterwards was exemplary. I have no hesitatjon in supporting the continued leadership of Chief Cantrell.

Dear fellow PACT Member:
I have been told that we can expect a large contingent of Chief CantrelPs critics to be at next Tuesday's City Counal meeting
regarding the really unfortunate inaderrt with her now returned firearm. Like you,I have worked dosely uvith the Chief as a member
of the PACT and I know first hand that she is a gem,a true leader who has worked hard to safeguard our wlnerable communities,
to establish an open communication venue that enables us to better understand each ather and to be safer,and to work more
closely and confidently with our police department.
I have decided to attend the Ciry Council meeting which will be held at 5 PM this coming Tuesday and to speak up positively on her
behalf. The public oomment portion of the meeting generally begins around 5:15-5:30 PM. I am urging you to join me at the
meeting,Chief Cantrell's supporters need to be as vocal or more vocal than her detractors. Please join me'rf you can. If your
schedule does not permi[you to be in physical attendanoe but you would like to add your support in a very tangible way, please
send me your written

Thank you for all you are dang to keep Chief Cantrell our police chief. Please feel free to forward this email to others. The more
