Welcome to PeninsulaCopwatch.org  STOP Police Misconduct, Corruption, and Brutality in Palo Alto, Mountain View and Los Altos , California

Welcome to Peninsula Copwatch
Serving the San Jose / San Francisco Bay Area Communities of Los Altos, Palo Alto and Mountain View California.

 

Peninsula Copwatch is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to monitoring Police activity  in the Silicon Valley Cities of Los Altos, Palo Alto and Mountain View, California.   Non-violently asserting our civil rights, and defending the rights of the community. Peninsula Copwatch is one of Several Copwatch Chapters that have been established across the United States and Canada, in various forms. Peninsula Copwatch is based on the idea that WATCHING the police is a crucial first step in the process of organizing. We do not attempt to interfere in legitimate police activity or to resist police misconduct physically. It is our hope that, some day, mass outrage at police and government violence will increase to a point where fundamental change in the nature of policing become inevitable.

Peninsula Copwatch Goals:

1) Reduce police brutality, misconduct, and corruption within the Los Altos, Palo Alto and Mountain View Police Departments by directly observing police activity and in our communities, documenting incidents and taking pro-active measures to hold the Los Altos, Mountain View and Palo Alto Police accountable for their actions. We maintain principles of non-violence while asserting the civil rights of the detained person. We provide advocacy and support to victims of the Police Misconduct whenever possible. We also seek to educate the public with "Know your Rights" Seminars.
2) Empower and unite the community to resist police abuse. We will do this by sharing information with the community, conducting "Know Your Rights" trainings, sponsoring rallies, supporting victims of  Peninsula Police Misconduct and other community based efforts to deal with these problems.

3) Encourage people to solve problems WITHOUT police intervention. We want to explore alternatives to calling the police.

4) Most importantly, we encourage people to exercise their right to observe the police and to advocate for, support,  protect one another.
