Measure K Oversight Committee

One year ago Santa Cruz city voters approved Measure K, an initiative establishing adult marijuana offenses as the lowest priority for city police.

Measure K, which makes “investigations, citations, arrests, property seizures, and prosecutions for adult marijuana offenses” that do not occur on public property “the lowest law enforcement priority for the city of Santa Cruz.”

This measure also created the Measure K Oversight Committee. The Committee’s charge includes issuing regular reports to the Santa Cruz City Council on the implementation of this ordinance. To this end, the Committee would like to invite everyone, especially those who feel they have been subjected to law enforcement activity contrary to this measure, to attend the Oversight Committee’s next meeting. The meeting will be held on December 18th at 5:30 pm., at the Santa Cruz City Hall.
