South Mountain Precinct
The end of the year is a time for reflection. While we look forward to the Holidays and the New Year, it is important we also look back on the year and how it affected us. As I write this, I am completing my first year as the proud Commander of the South Moun-tain Precinct. When I think about 2017, I am very happy with where we are as a shared community and I am very optimistic about our shared future in 2018. As always, I have been moved by the commitment of the South Phoenix community to co-create solutions to the challenging issues of crime and quality of life with a partner-ship with the Police Department to improve public safety. Coming back to South Phoe-nix for my third assignment, I knew there was work to be done to enhance police/community relationships and to redevelop trust. I made it my priority to attend as many community meetings and gatherings as possi-ble and I was overwhelmed by the support and warm welcome I received at each one. We had open and honest dialog, we affirmed our commitment to make things better and we addressed the issues that were important to each of us. Because of this, I feel like we are truly one community in South Phoenix equally dedicated to making things better. And for this relationship I am eternally grateful.
To each and every one of you, whatever your tradition may be, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, a Happy Kwanza, a Happy Hanukkah and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
"The Phoenix Police Foundation [a 501(C)(3)] was established in 2002 with the intent to gain community support for unmet
police department capital needs, and provide financial assistance for department employees and their families in times of
crises. During the past 12 years the Foundation has provided emergency assistance for dozens of individuals facing personal
tragedies, funding for technology needs for the department, officers' equipment and other various initiatives that help the
Phoenix Police Department in its efforts to keep America's sixth-largest city as safe as possible." Please check out their
website for further information and see all of the things they do.

The Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol Program began in 1994 as Block Watchers on Patrol and was associated with the Block Watch McGruff logo. In 1995 P.N.P. members donated over 5,468 hours of their time patrolling their neighborhoods. By 2004, they spent over 26,000 hours and traveled 77,490 miles assisting the police officers of the City of Phoenix Police Department by driving through their neighborhoods and watching for suspicious criminal behavior, fights, traffic problems, stolen vehicles, and missing persons.
In 1999 the program adopted the name of Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol and its new logo. We have had the opportunity and privilege of training over 1500 citizens in observation skills, criminal codes, police procedures, and drug recognition through non- confrontational methods.
In 2014 members logged over 27,000 miles and volunteered over 44,000 hours of their time to their neighborhood! That is
over $639,000 in value to the community.
Citizen Patrols? I thought patrolling was a job for the Police!
Crime prevention is every citizen's responsibility. Some communities in Phoenix already have conducted citizen patrols with
success. Providing these patrols often gives people a stronger sense of ownership in their neighborhood, as well as drawing
neighbors together in a common cause.
The citizen patrols can be conducted on an 'as available' basis and are by no means mandatory. The Phoenix Police
Department will provide the training and tools to volunteers who would like to become more involved in crime prevention
around their neighborhoods.
Contact a Community Action Officer to find out about the benefits to your community and how to join. You can also visit the
Neighborhood Patrol website and learn more.

28th Annual
Hacienda Christmas Event
Pictures from our 28th Annual Hacienda De Los Angles event. We would
like to thank the staff and residents for letting us be part of their holiday
celebration for another year. The officers and administrative staff from
South Mountain Precinct and Central City Precinct, went over and above
to make the event a success. So many others from across the department
joined in the festivities and helped put a smile on the residents faces. The
event would not have been as big a success had it not been for the assis-
tance of local business partners Seros Financial, Cox Sandoval Law, PLLC
and Nassim Inc. Their generous donations helped us make the event big-
ger and better.
Take a minute to read about the Hacienda story and some of its resi-
dents.

Phoenix Celebrates Women in Public Safety Careers
The firefighters and police officers of Phoenix must be ready to respond to emergencies at a moment’s notice. They are called upon to make quick, life-saving decisions to keep the public safe. A career in public safety can be extremely exciting, demanding and rewarding. The Phoenix Fire and Phoenix Police Departments are looking for highly motivated, qualified, fit and diverse women to join the team. Both departments have long been recognized as national leaders in public safety. Attracting only the most qualified candidates allows Phoenix to provide the high-est level of service. Phoenix aims to hire officers and firefighters who directly reflect the commu-nity, allowing residents to establish a better con-nection with first responders.

On November 7, 2017, Officers Bullock #10043, Sleeper #9646 and Sergeant Davila of the 43B
squad responded to a residential burglary where the suspects had already fled the area. They
discovered that a neighboring home had captured some of the crime on their security camer-
as. The patrol officers were able to use that footage to develop leads in the case. They took
the information and passed it to Sergeant Robidoux #8381 and Officers Hale #5184, Ferguson
#6094, Colbert #7002, Linker #7700 and Mullen #9221 of the 41X, Neighborhood Enforce-
ment Team. The squad was able to further develop the leads and identify and locate the sub-
jects involved.
The officers were able to contact the investigative leads in the case and arrested them both
for unrelated charges. During the investigation officers were able to locate property from the
original burglary in the subjects possession, drugs and numerous other stolen items.
This is an example of the dedication, follow-up and collaboration between our patrol squad
and our support squads. Their hard work resulted in the apprehension of offenders that were
targeting people homes and their personal property. Great job on behalf of all those officers
involved.
Every day your Phoenix Police officers are working to keep the streets of Phoenix safe. Many
times, officers go above and beyond their daily duties and responsibilities to make this hap-
pen. That outstanding work deserves recognition. We want to share some of these stories
with you, our community members.
