<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The Phoenix Police Department has released a Critical Incident Briefing (CIB) video that includes audio, visuals and information related to an officer-involved shooting (OIS) which occurred on May 22nd, 2023. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">This incident occurred in the area of 19th Avenue & Phelps Drive when Phoenix Police contacted a woman who had previously refused to stop during a lawful traffic stop. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">This incident originally began in the area of 35th Avenue and Glendale Avenue when Phoenix Police received a call about a woman who was unresponsive inside of a running vehicle in a nearby parking lot. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">Two officers responded to the area and located the vehicle. Initially the woman was not responsive but appeared to wake up as officers were in the parking lot. She was given commands to put the vehicle in park and instead drove out of the parking lot. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">Officers followed the vehicle and attempted to make a traffic stop. The vehicle pulled over in a nearby apartment complex where the driver was given multiple commands to turn the vehicle off and throw the keys out of the car. The woman did not comply with any of these commands and again took off from officers. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The Phoenix Police helicopter was overhead and followed the car for about 15 minutes until it was in the area of 19th Avenue and Phelps Drive. This is where officers with the Tactical Support Bureau immobilized the vehicle. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">Once the vehicle was stopped, officers positioned themselves around the vehicle. Officers gave multiple commands for the woman to show her hands and turn off the car. The woman did not comply and produced an object perceived to be a handgun and pointed it at an officer. This is when multiple officers discharged their firearms. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">After the shooting, the woman was ordered to show her hands and did not fully comply. An officer deployed two rounds from a less lethal 40 mm launcher at the driver’s window to remove the glass giving officers a clearer view of the woman. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The deployment of the 40 mm did not remove the glass. An officer used an OC spray Mark 9 canister to deliver an irritant into the car to coax the woman out. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">After the OC spray, officers broke out the driver’s door window. The woman got out of the car through the open window and was taken into custody. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">Officers provided medical aid to the woman until the Phoenix Fire Department arrived. She was taken to the hospital where she was treated for her injuries. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The object believed to be a handgun that the woman had was found on scene. It was later determined to be a butane lighter resembling a handgun. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">Two officers involved in this incident are assigned to the Tactical Support Bureau and each have approximately 17 years of service with the department. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The other officer is assigned to the South Mountain Precinct and has approximately 5 years with the department. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">
<br>
</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:13.3333px;">Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete. An internal investigation by the Professional Standard Bureau is currently underway, in addition to a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation is complete it will then be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. </span>

| Phoenix Police Rolls Out New Crime Reduction Plan | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/2771 | Police | | 6/5/2023 6:00:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2771/CRIME REDUCTION PLAN NEWSROOM.png | | Phoenix Police Rolls Out New Crime Reduction Plan | <div class="ExternalClass00A71488DE524E8A82880C1B33188E2C"><html>
<p>The Phoenix Police Department has developed a <a href="/policesite/Documents/Crime_Reduction_Plan.pdf" target="_blank">Crime Reduction Plan</a> aimed at preventing and controlling criminal activity in Phoenix, while striving to enhance the quality of life for both the businesses and citizens.<br></p>
<p>Interim Police Chief Michael Sullivan directed his staff to come up with a plan that was victim centered and implemented solution-oriented policing, focusing on evidence-based practices.</p>
<p>The plan includes a strategy to focus on four priorities to prevent and control crime.</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0in;color:rgb(36, 36, 36);font-size:15px;margin-top:0in;">
<li>
<p>The most violent people<br></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The most active areas</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Prohibited possessors</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Violent offenders with outstanding arrest warrants.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>“The safety of the public is our number one priority. We are committed to addressing the issue of gun violence and other violent crime that has taken the lives of too many of our community members,” said Interim Phoenix Police Chief Michael Sullivan.</p>
<p>A key tenant of the crime plan is to continue to partner with our community, other city departments and prosecuting agencies to improve the overall safety and quality of life for our community members. </p>
<p>This overarching plan emphasizes a commitment to continual improvement and evaluation. Crime reduction tactics will be reviewed constantly to ensure the Department is implementing efficient innovative solutions that achieve the goals set forth.</p>
<p>“The partnership between police and community members must be rooted in confidence and trust. I will lead this department to become a self-assessing, self-correcting agency, which will lead to continuous improvement and strengthen community trust,” said Sullivan.</p>
<p>Working within this framework, each Precinct and Bureau Commander will develop an individualized custom action plan. The goal will be to reduce violent crime by 5% and property crime by 8%.</p>
<p>The success of the Crime Reduction Plan will take the work of all our employees, both sworn and professional staff, in all work units of the Department. It will also rely on the continued strengthening of the trusted relationship between law enforcement and the community</p>

<br> <br>The Phoenix Police Department has released a Critical Incident Briefing (CIB) video that includes audio, visuals and information related to an officer-involved shooting (OIS) which occurred on May 11<sup>th</sup>, 2023.</p>
<p>This incident occurred in the area of 91st Avenue & Lower Buckeye Road when Phoenix Police officers were driving in the area and found a pickup truck stopped in the roadway. The only person in the truck was a man asleep behind the wheel. A check of the license plate revealed the vehicle was reported stolen.</p>
<p>Officers positioned their patrol vehicles to the front and the back of the pickup in order to prevent the man from driving away and potentially causing harm to the community.</p>
<p>The man then woke up and attempted to drive off, but the pickup was blocked in. The man continued to accelerate for about 3 minutes causing the wheels to spin and create a large cloud of smoke.</p>
<p>While the driver continued to accelerate, an officer repositioned himself behind his patrol car and noticed the suspect had a gun. He alerted the other officers and they moved away from the vehicles.</p>
<p>Once the officers moved, the suspect got out of the vehicle and ran down Lower Buckeye Road. </p>
<p>The officers got into their patrol cars and followed the man towards a neighborhood. </p>
<p>Officers caught up to the suspect and fired less-lethal PepperBall projectiles at him that were ineffective.</p>
<p>The suspect made his way into the neighborhood and officers began to set up a perimeter around the area where the man was last seen.</p>
<p>A two-man unit responded to help search the neighborhood and located the suspect near the edge of the neighborhood. The officers gave the suspect commands to get on the ground. The suspect turned and pointed the gun towards the officers. Both officers fired their guns toward the suspect. </p>
<p>After the shooting, the suspect ran off and hid inside the neighborhood. </p>
<p>Officers from the Tactical Support Bureau responded to search for the suspect. He was later located in the backyard of a residence and taken into custody after the use of a less-lethal tool. <br></p>
<p>The suspect was not struck by gunfire and was medically cleared by the fire department. He was later booked on multiple felony charges.</p>
<p>No other community members or officers were injured during this incident. </p>
<p>The gun used by the man was found near the area where he was taken into custody. Detectives discovered the firearm used by the suspect was a pellet gun.</p>
<p>The officers involved in this shooting have been with the department for 4 and a half and 3 years. They are assigned to the Maryvale/Estrella Mountain Precinct.</p>
<p>Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete. An internal investigation by the Professional Standard Bureau is currently underway, in addition to a criminal investigation.

<br> <br>The Phoenix Police Department has released a Critical Incident Briefing (CIB) video that includes audio, visuals and information related to an officer-involved shooting (OIS) which occurred on April 24th, 2023.</p>
<p>This incident occurred in the area of 33rd Avenue and Bell Road when Phoenix Police received a call about a man attempting to steal an item at a business. While the caller was on the phone with dispatchers, the man assaulted the caller. </p>
<p>Later in the 911 call, the caller stated that the man was leaving the area.</p>
<p>A number of officers and a sergeant were dispatched to the call. The sergeant located a man matching the description given, riding a bicycle in the area of 31st Avenue and Bell Road. The sergeant gave commands to the man to stop riding his bike, the man refused the commands and rode his bike into an apartment complex near 33rd Avenue and Bell Road. The sergeant lost site of the man at this point. </p>
<p>The sergeant drove to the apartment complex and got out of his patrol car to search the complex on foot. While inside the complex, he saw the man and order him to stop. The man refused the command and took off running. The sergeant, and ultimately another officer on scene, ran after the man. </p>
<p>During the foot chase the sergeant noticed the man had a knife in his hand and the sergeant gave multiple commands to drop the knife. The subject turned around facing the sergeant and the officer. He was again given commands to drop the knife, but he did not and instead charged at the sergeant with the knife still in his hand. </p>
<p>The sergeant fired his firearm multiple times and the officer discharged his taser. The man was struck with gunfire and fell to the ground. </p>
<p>Officers provided medical aid to the man until the Phoenix Fire Department arrived on scene. The man was taken to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries. </p>
<p>The knife that man had during the incident was found on scene.</p>
<p>The sergeant involved in this incident is assigned to the Cactus Park Precinct and has approximately 24 1/2 years of service with the department.</p>

<p>Detectives Need Public's Help Identifying Addition Victim</p><p>In June 2022, Phoenix police began an investigation into an extremely violent sexual assault. Evidence at the time indicated it may be related to another case they were already working. Detectives were able to identify a suspect and arrest 25-year-old Tyler Munguia in connection with the two crimes. As the investigation progressed, detectives gathered evidence, including video evidence, that lead them to believe there were five additional victims. <br></p>
<p>Detectives worked tirelessly to identify and locate those they believed were victimize by Munguia. All but one of the victims were identified, located and agreed to aid in prosecution. Working closely with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, all six cases were combined for prosecution, and in April 2023, a Grand Jury handed up an indictment against Munguia on 59 felony charges including sexual assault and kidnapping related to the six victims. <br></p>
<p>Phoenix police now need the public's help in identifying and locating the seventh victim in this series of crimes. Investigators are releasing photographs of two necklaces that were worn by the victim. We are concerned for her welfare and hope someone will recognize the necklace and help identify her. </p>
<p>Anyone with information about the identify of this woman, or anything possibly related to this case, can contact the Phoenix Police Department with information. If you want to remain anonymous you can also call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS. <br></p>

That is why you may see some parts of Body Worn Camera (BWC) blurred or covered with a black box. Redacted video is released to local media in conjunction with the release of this Critical Incident Briefing for independent review and publication. Complete, unedited versions of the BWC are released to attorneys and the courts as evidence in a criminal case. </span>
