Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santa Monica Police Department
I spent time digging up in-depth sources that quite clearly go beyond routine coverage and local audiences; hopefully these will allay the concerns of those advocating for deletion above. The Santa Monica Police Department has been pioneering a program to try to reduce homelessness, and this has received quite a bit of coverage. The longest report is one by the Urban Institute http://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/alfresco/publication-pdfs/411410-Ending-Homelessness-in-Santa-Monica.PDF, pages 79-82 focus specifically on the role the SMPD plays in the Homeless Liason program. Also an article by the Los Angeles Times on the same subject http://articles.latimes.com/2009/feb/26/local/me-santamonica-homeless26, and a brief mention in a book https://books.google.com/books?id=uoCsAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA316. Based upon this coverage, I conclude this article meets  and . And yes, I will add these sources to the article as soon as I have a little more time
