Peninsula Copwatch

Web       http://www.peninsulacopwatch.org/

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.
