| Vice Mayor Debra Stark's Statement Following Police Incident Involving Tyron McAlpin | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/district-3/3243 | | City Council District 3 | 10/17/2024 1:00:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/3243/Newsroom_Council_Statement_03.jpg | | Vice 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>

<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>
<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>

<div>
“The shooting of nine people that took the life of one person on Hatcher Road near 10th Avenue is deeply troubling and has shaken the Sunnyslope community. 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.”

<p>"Chief Jeri Williams has led the Phoenix Police Department with courage, dignity, and professionalism for the past six years, and she has devoted her entire 33-year career to public service. As the department’s first female police chief, she made history. But Chief Williams never rested on her laurels. The role of police chief comes with great responsibility, which Chief Williams understood and worked tirelessly to protect and serve the community she grew up in. She has also led the department through challenging times and reforms. I look forward to working with the next police chief to continue supporting our men and women in blue who protect our community. I wish Chief Williams a happy retirement and the best for her future."<br></p>

<p>
<span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span>“I am very saddened to hear about the passing of Glen Spencer, former executive director of the Aunt Rita’s Foundation. Glen was passionate about his work advocating for the LGBTQ community and those living with HIV. He touched many lives while dedicating his own to educating about prevention and care, fundraising, and ending the stigma for those living with HIV. Glen was a member of Phoenix’s Fast Track Cities Ad Hoc Committee, whose goal is to end HIV by 2030. At our last Fast Track Cities Ad Hoc Committee meeting, Glen announced that an anonymous donor made a $1 million donation in his honor to establish the Glen Spencer Ending the Epidemic Fund. Glen’s life will have a lasting impact, and he will be truly missed.”<br></p>
