Verified relevant. Mills says predictive policing puts officers in conflict with communities and should not be used until peer reviewed and scientifically proven, supporting a ban or moratorium.

The quote is about predictive policing and criticizes it, but it does not clearly endorse the full policy statement 'Ban predictive policing.' The wording suggests opposition or a possible temporary halt until it is peer reviewed, not an explicit complete ban.

The quote is supported by the provided KQED article (published July 12, 2020, by Rachael Myrow): it attributes to Santa Cruz Police Chief Andy Mills the exact first sentence, "Predictive policing has been shown over time to put officers in conflict with communities rather than working with the communities," and separately says he supported banning the technology "until such time that it can be peer reviewed and scientifically proven." The ellipsis is therefore a fair omission between two verbatim quoted passages. A 2020 Sentinel/GovTech reprint independently matches the first sentence and attributes it to Mills.

Quote content fully matched in search results from the KQED article (source_url was 403-blocked from direct WebFetch but the quote was independently confirmed). Andy Mills was indeed Santa Cruz police chief who supported the predictive policing ban. Both fragments — "Predictive policing has been shown over time to put officers in conflict with communities rather than working with the communities" and "until such time that it can be peer reviewed and scientifically proven" — are verbatim from the KQED article. Vote alignment "for" matches the statement "Ban predictive policing".
