Critical Incident Briefing: May 24, 2022 – 32nd Street and Union Hills Drivehttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/2373Police6/7/2022 9:45:00 PMhttps://youtu.be/QlrFkAOtDEMCritical Incident Briefing: May 24, 2022 – 32nd Street and Union Hills Drive<div class="ExternalClassF5353D26F7194081B7BF9083E2B4ADFA"><html>WARNING: The attached video may contain strong language as well as graphic images which may be disturbing to some people. Viewer discretion is advised. The Phoenix Police Department has released a Critical Incident Briefing (CIB) video that includes audio, visuals and information related to an officer-involved shooting (OIS) which occurred on May 24, 2022. This incident began in the area of 32nd Street and Union Hills Drive just after 4:00 p.m., when a patrol sergeant was flagged down by a community member who provided information about an adult male suspect who he observed attempting to steal a vehicle. The sergeant spotted and followed the suspect who ran away from the area. As the patrol sergeant began following the suspect, a 911 call came in from another community member who reported the suspect attempted to rob them of their vehicle while they were sitting in it. “I was at the [redacted] and I was sitting in the truck with my AC on and some guy tried to jump in and take off with it," said the 911 caller. As the sergeant began to contact the suspect, the suspect ran and jumped a fence into a residential yard. The sergeant called for additional resources and a perimeter was established. Patrol officers with the help of police canines began systematically searching yards in the area looking for the suspect when the suspect started shooting. There were multiple officers in the area when the suspect began firing in different directions around the house. Officers took cover behind vehicles and houses. Officers would later learn the suspect had broken into a home where the residents were away. No officers discharged their weapons at this time. The suspect shot and hit several vehicles that officers were taking cover behind. At about 4:08 p.m., an officer with a rifle returned fire at the suspect but did not strike him. This officer and two nearby sergeants then utilized cover fire to help two of them move further away from the suspect to a safer location. Cover fire is defined as controlled, accurate weapons fire delivered at an appropriate target with the intent of keeping a suspect's attention away from exposed officers, allowing them to move or complete a rescue or other task. Acceptable targets for cover fire are near the suspects last known location and are capable of stopping and containing weapons fire. Some examples include block walls, door frames, residential structure headers and footers, and engine blocks. Patrol officers continued to cordon off the area and evacuate nearby residents or have them shelter in place. The Phoenix Police Special Assignments Unit (SAU) arrived on scene in armored vehicles. They used a PA system to communicate with the suspect to negotiate a peaceful surrender. They also utilized less lethal tactics, including tear gas, to avoid an armed confrontation with the suspect and encourage him to come outside. About 3 hours after the shooting began, the suspect exited the house with his hands up. SAU detectives provided a ladder for him to climb down and took him into custody. Detectives recovered the weapons used by the suspect inside the home. The officer involved in this shooting has been with the department for 4 years and is assigned to the Maryvale Estrella Mountain Precinct. Two sergeants utilized cover fire during the incident. One has been with the department for 32 years, and the other for 13 years. Both are assigned to the Black Mountain Precinct. Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete. An internal investigation by the Professional Standard Bureau is currently underway, in addition to a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation is complete it will then be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. Public records law required redaction of certain personal identifying information before video is released publicly. That is why you may see some parts of Body Worn Camera (BWC) blurred or covered with a black box. Redacted video is released to local media in conjunction with the release of this Critical Incident Briefing for independent review and publication. Complete, unedited versions of the BWC are released to attorneys and the courts as evidence in a criminal case. </html></div>https://phoenix.gov/policeVideopolicePolice@phoenixpolicePolice Main PIOphoenixpd.pio@phoenix.govhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/MediaContact/Attachments/36/Police2.pngPhoenixPolice

Fabulous Phoenix 4th, Other Popular Fireworks Events Canceled for 2022 https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/parks-and-recreation/2381Parks and Recreation6/10/2022 12:00:00 AMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2381/Fireworks Fab Phoenix 4th.pngFabulous Phoenix 4th, Other Popular Fireworks Events Canceled for 2022 <div class="ExternalClassDFBD168E82F748029168FEF33F614C66"><html>The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department regrets to announce that its three premiere fireworks events have been canceled for 2022. Fabulous Phoenix Fourth, Light Up the Sky at the American Family Fields and After Dark in the Park will all be canceled this year due to supply chain issues affecting access to fireworks. As a department, we understand how important these events are to the Phoenix community, and we are disappointed that we will not be able to celebrate with you this year. “Unfortunately, much like many other municipalities, Phoenix has been affected by the ongoing supply chain issues. The City's contractor was unable to secure fireworks for the events," said Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Marty Whitfield. “We apologize to our community for the inconvenience." </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/parksNewsPhoenix Public Transit Receives Grant to Study New West Valley Transit Modehttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/public-transit/2380Public Transit6/9/2022 8:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2380/Public_Transit_Newsroom_39.jpgPhoenix Public Transit Receives Grant to Study New West Valley Transit Mode<div class="ExternalClassD643DA18650A449C91224A490E56B135"><html> The Federal Transit Administration announced the awards for the<a href="https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/route-planning-restoration-program" target="_blank"> American Rescue Plan Route Planning Restoration Program grants</a> in June, and Phoenix Public Transit was awarded a grant total of $514,045. This funding will be used to conduct a west Phoenix High Capacity Transit (HCT) study. The study will provide a recommendation for transit modes that specifically provide a higher level of rider capacity and efficiency. Today, Mayor Kate Gallego and members of the city council expressed their support for this grant to examine transit in that area. “Improving access, ease, equity, and efficiency of transit for the people of Phoenix is a priority for me, and this grant will better inform our efforts under <a href="/t2050" target="_blank">Transportation 2050 (T2050)</a>, a voter-approved local plan for bus service, light rail construction and street improvements,” says Mayor Kate Gallego. “It would combine with Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grant opportunities and should escalate large and small T2050 transportation projects from plan to completion.” “This study will help pave the way for a greatly improved transit system in west Phoenix that connects our residents to better opportunities for education, employment and recreation,” notes Councilmember Betty Guardado. “Bringing more efficient and clean public transit to west Phoenix is long overdue. With booming population growth, we need a study that outlines how to best serve diverse communities,” Councilmember Yassamin Ansari adds. “Phoenix continues to head in the right direction by finding opportunities for high capacity transit options that support the riders who depend on public transit,” states Vice Mayor Laura Pastor. The study area will be focused on west Phoenix encompassing the Maryvale area from Central Avenue (on the east boundary) to 91st Avenue (on the west) and from McDowell Road (south) to Camelback Road (north). The goal is to evaluate multiple modes of transit, and how transit improvements will benefit all the surrounding communities. Background - In 2019, the Phoenix City Council took action to postpone the west Phoenix light rail extension, from 19th Avenue to 43rd Avenue along Camelback Road, until the end of the <a href="https://t2050.org/" target="_blank">Transportation 2050</a> program. This grant provides an opportunity to accelerate transit planning in west Phoenix. About the Phoenix Public Transit Department: The Phoenix Public Transit Department provides Phoenix residents a variety of transit options and is the largest member of the Valley Metro regional transit system. Services range from local and commuter buses to alternative transportation for senior citizens and special needs. The city of Phoenix funds transit, and other transportation improvements, through <a href="/t2050" target="_blank">Transportation 2050 (T2050)</a> – a local sales tax approved by Phoenix voters in 2015 – as well as county and federal funds.
