Vice Mayor Debra Stark's Statement Following Police Incident Involving Tyron McAlpinhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/district-3/3243City Council District 310/17/2024 1:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/3243/Newsroom_Council_Statement_03.jpgVice Mayor Debra Stark's Statement Following Police Incident Involving Tyron McAlpin<div class="ExternalClass9F657DFEA1D447AEAA83C12B21268270"><html> <p></p> <p>I am very disheartened after watching the video and learning about the events involving the Phoenix Police Department and Mr. McAlpin. Disability awareness and accessibility is one of my highest priorities; I am saddened that Mr. McAlpin's disabilities were not accommodated for nor taken into consideration, especially since Phoenix City Council was assured by the Phoenix Police Department that police officers receive training on the appropriate ways to interact specifically with individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing.</p> <p>I expect a thorough investigation into this interaction that is completed promptly. I am hopeful that we will get answers on what transpired and how to ensure that situations like these do not occur in the future.<span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;">​</span></p> <p></p> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/district3Newsdistrict-3
Councilwoman Debra Stark’s Statement on the Passing of Former Councilwoman Thelda Williamshttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/district-3/2928City Council District 311/15/2023 7:00:00 AMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2928/Newsroom_Council_Statement_03.jpgCouncilwoman Debra Stark’s Statement on the Passing of Former Councilwoman Thelda Williams<div class="ExternalClass626C2F951F3E42B29AB4E11344BB17D8"><html> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">“Thelda Williams was a dear friend and colleague. I am deeply saddened about her passing, as she impacted so many lives, including my own. She was an ally on the Council, but also a force to be reckoned with. I take solace in knowing she lived a full and accomplished life. Thelda was dedicated to her constituents and to improving the lives of Phoenicians. She was selected to be Interim Mayor three times—showing the confidence my Council colleagues and I had in her ability to lead and be fair. </span> </div> <div> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;"> <br> </span> </div> <div> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;">Thelda has lived a life of public service that I truly admire. Her legacy is one of public service. Thelda was an ardent supporter of law enforcement and public safety, a leader in transportation and infrastructure projects, and a champion for the redevelopment of Metro Center. Her big heart and advocacy also extended to animals—especially her four-legged friends. And anyone who knew Thelda knew her wit was as sharp as her fashion sense.</span> <br> </div> <div> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;"> <br> </span> </div> <div> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;">We owe a debt of gratitude to Thelda for her many years of public service and contributions to the City of Phoenix. Thelda will be so missed.” </span> <br> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;"> </span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;"> <strong>MEDIA CONTACT:</strong> Cooper Payne, Public Information Officer, 602-329-2445</span> </div> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/district3Newsdistrict-3

This violence has no place in our neighborhoods! Further troubling is an additional fatal shooting of a juvenile that happened not even a half mile away around the same time. It is not known if the incidents are related. Phoenix Police are actively investigating what led up to these shootings to bring anyone responsible to justice.” ​​​<br></div> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/district3Newsdistrict-3
