Secure Our Parks: Stop the Random Acts of Violence

Stop the violence; secure our city and state parks with stronger police protection.

Why is this important?

After myself being robbed and threaten, after being told by the Phoenix Police Department that there is a "daily rash of break in's, robberies and assaults in these popular parks" I and my community members want to put a stop to the thefts and violence taking place at many popular hiking and recreation sites in Maricopa county. While stronger messages to thieves and attackers may "scare off" some tourists, nothing shouts "we don't care" like unprotected and unsecured parking lots and entrances.

Join us in demanding on-site police officers and vehicles during peak hours (3PM to 7PM) as well as increased budget for park rangers to walk the grounds daily. Support volunteer action committees to patrol the parks with the police officers insuring a safe park experience for tax payers as well as AZ tourism.
