Crime: Vigilance is the Key

May 03, 2000

Officer Danny Valadez of the Phoenix Police Department visited the Neighborhood Association meeting April 4 and praised our crime prevention efforts. He did stress that continued observation by the residents is the key to keeping crime rates low.

Key points to remember:
IN EMERGENCIES contact the police directly using 9-1-1.
For non-emergencies, you may contact Officer Valadez directly at 246-9480.
