Name the New Police Precincts-
In order to keep up with the growing population of Phoenix, two new Police Precincts will be opening up in the very near future. In 2006, the City dedicated funding to build them in high growth areas of the City. The sites for the new precincts are at 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye and Cave Creek and Smokehouse Trail (south of Carefree Highway). The Police Department is now accepting suggestions for the new precincts. Please visit phoenix.gov/police/new_precincts.html if you would like to submit your ideas.
