Contact Your Elected Officials
Whether you vote or not you have elected officials who represent you at multiple levels. These elected officials are accountable to you and your neighbors and are responsible for representing you. They can pass laws that govern the Police and other Public Servants to hold them accountable to serving the public which includes you and your neighbors. Everyone has multiple representatives at the city, state and federal level.
