    Seriously? CNN hires some clueless talking head to disrespect our community's painful history related to this horrific incident? It must be rough for some people when the facts don't match their wacky ideology... ...but that still doesn't excuse their blatant lies.

    New CNN hire, , claims Gabby Giffords was fatally shot by a Marxist. Neither of these things are true. Thankfully, Gabby is alive. And the gunman who shot her (killing six and injuring 13) was a dangerous man with easy access to an arsenal.

    "The old maxim of measuring a society by how it treats its most needy people is as true today as ever." There are some real similarities between what a good journalist and a good cop witness in the course of their careers.

    Instead of quoting pro & con advocates regarding a factual matter of what Prop 205 says... Here's a thought. Read the language of the actual initiative. Where does it limit the requirement for a signed MOU to only ICE & the Border Patrol? It doesn't.

    I testified about our misplaced priorities before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee this past spring... "Smugglers are moving ever larger loads of the more dangerous & illegal drug methamphetamine through ports of entry where the wall can't stop them."

    Our shy young friend wanted to hang out with the officers at a southside Getting Arizona Involved in Neighborhoods (GAIN) event last night. Planting trust and friendship has to start early!

    TPD's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit partners with several federal agencies to build cases like this . . . cases so awful they shock the conscience. This is tough, critical work. # Dark web child porn: 337 charged with running site

    Celebratory morning as Tucson's new fire chief, Chuck Ryan, had his badge pinned at the Fire Department's headquarters. Chief Ryan's spouse, Suzanne, did the honors.

    Some good points about the impact of quality of life crimes on neighborhoods but the writer misses this reality: Poor & minorities are disproportionally arrested/jailed for these crimes & the overreliance on jail harms families & their economic futures.

    "Tucson Meet Yourself" is one of the downtown events that makes Tucson so great. More than food - there's music, entertainment, displays... Lots of cool stuff on a beautiful warm evening!

    Over $800K of this federal grant will support Tucson PD's efforts to follow up on cold case sexual assaults & bring justice to victims. This is the very type of grant funding that TPD could lose in the future if Prop 205 passes.

    Love this interaction and what a great pic!

    Today Ofc Castro shared his story of how peer pressure affected his life as a kid & then played football @ recess. So important for our students to connect w/ us & understand we’ve faced many of the same challenges they do. Needless to say, Officer Castro is a big hit!

    No one questions that there are some people who absolutely need to go to jail to keep the community safe, but jail is not the right strategy for dealing with the mentally ill and most drug addicted individuals. Most misdemeanor crimes can be dealt with utilizing better options.

    "We weren’t looking to make arrests,” said Mr. Lopez, who retired as chief at the end of 2015 (Durham, NC). “The job of a police officer is to guard and make the community safe. The job isn’t to put people in jail.”

    Our General Orders reflect years of community collaboration & input from a wide range of groups & organizations--which is exactly how community engaged policing should work.

    Lucky to have commanders and chiefs who (unlike the team below) think independently, debate rigorously, and act thoughtfully.

    "Most studies show that supervised injection sites can drive down fatal overdoses. These sites are credited w/restricting the spread of infectious diseases. Advocates say the facilities help move more people into treatment. The AMA has endorsed them."

    Great example of how the Tucson PD conducted a joint operation with the DOJ's ATF bureau utilizing NIBN (integrated ballistic network) to solve a murder case. Three victims were shot in 2017; 1 killed. 9mm casings from scene were linked to a gun used by suspect.
