PRECINCT REPORTER NEWS — Jeanette Ellis Royston, president of the Pomona Valley branch NAACP, said she got involved with the process last summer after receiving a complaint from a local resident, who had dealt with dangerous police raids in her neighborhood. The branch responded to fight for local change with a focus on prevention and safety for all, she said. They contacted the Pomona police department and met with Chief Michael Ellis. “The Chief was fantastic, he provided us with input and he totally agreed that there should be policy, but they had nothing on the books,” said Ellis Royston, a resident of Pomona for 45 years. “We wanted to see a ban of the no knock warrant on the books.”
