Know Before You Go: Phoenix Presidential Visithttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/957Police2/17/2020 3:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/957/Newsroom_Police_POTUS_Visit.pngKnow Before You Go: Phoenix Presidential Visit<div class="ExternalClassB982F80180444CA69FCE4C422BE9FF9D"><html>Arizona will host the President of the United States on Wednesday, February 19. President Donald Trump is holding a campaign event at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the State Fairgrounds near 19th Ave. & McDowell at 7 p.m.<br> <br>Law Enforcement services inside the event at the State Fairgrounds are under the direction of the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). However, the City of Phoenix Police Department is responsible for safety and security in the areas surrounding the event location. As a Department, we support and protect the freedom of speech. We wanted to share information to allow everyone to exercise this right.<br> <br>If attending, we ask that you also be part of the plan. Working together will keep events safe for all involved parties. Report any criminal or suspicious behavior. There will be officers in the immediate area and you will also see detectives walking around. If you see something, say something.<br><br><strong>Will roads be closed to traffic? </strong><br> <br>Roads will be closed as the President's motorcade moves to and from the Airport and the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. This will be happening during rush hour and may cause delays. At the event itself, Encanto will be closed between 17th & 19th Avenues.  One lane of Encanto heading east off 19th Ave will remain for traffic heading into the event parking lot.  Traffic is expected to be heavy on the main thoroughfares of 19th Ave., McDowell and Grand Ave. Choose alternate routes when possible. We will provide regular updates on traffic conditions on Twitter <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/phoenixpolice">@PhoenixPolice</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/StreetsPHX">@StreetsPHX</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/cityofphoenixaz">@CityofPhoenixAZ</a>.<br> <br><strong>Can I park near the Fairgrounds?</strong><br> <br>There is some parking on site at the fairgrounds, but it is possible there could be more vehicles than the parking lot can accommodate. Please do not park on residential streets in the surrounding neighborhoods. Many of those areas are permit only parking and your vehicle could be towed. If you plan on being in the area of the event on Wednesday afternoon/evening, consider carpooling, using public transportation, or a ride sharing option. <br> <br> <strong>Will there be a specific place for me to exercise my freedom of speech?</strong><br> <br><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span>On planned events such as this, law enforcement makes every attempt to facilitate an area for spectators and attendees who wish to voice their beliefs or opinions. This area will be designated in advance and clearly marked.  The north side of Encanto road in an area between 17th Ave. & 19th Ave. has been designated for this purpose.  Any updated information will be shared with the media and residents through the Phoenix Police Department’s social media channels including Twitter, Facebook <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/phoenixazpolice">(@PhoenixAZPolice</a>), Instagram (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/phoenixpolicedepartment/">@PhoenixPoliceDepartment</a>) and the Nextdoor app. <br>  <br><strong>Can I or a group of people block the roadway?</strong><br><strong> </strong><br>Roadways used by motorists are not allowed to be blocked. This is dangerous for both pedestrians and motorists. If you block the roadway you may be arrested for obstructing a public thoroughfare. This is a misdemeanor crime.<br><br><strong>What is an Unlawful Assembly?</strong><br><strong> </strong><br>An Unlawful Assembly is when a group of people are involved in criminal activity and are posing a danger to themselves or others. The incident commander makes this determination to protect the security and safety of everyone in the area. When possible, those in the vicinity will hear a message over a loud speaker and given time to disperse. There may be situations where immediate police intervention is needed. People who fail to follow the instructions may be subject to arrest. We want everyone to understand the message coming via the speaker. It will be delivered in both English and Spanish and will be replayed repeatedly. <br> <br>In an effort to make the entire crowd aware of the need to disperse, the officer will say something similar to this: <br> <br>“I am ___ (name) ___, a police officer for the City of Phoenix. I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly in the name of the People of the State of Arizona and command all persons so assembled at ___ (location) ___ to immediately and peacefully disperse. Arizona Revised Statute 13-2902 prohibits remaining present at an unlawful assembly and if you do not disperse, you will be subject to arrest.<br> <br><strong>If I am on the sidewalk once the Unlawful Assembly is declared will I be arrested?</strong><br><strong> </strong><br>Yes, once this is declared unlawful, everyone must leave the area. You can no longer be in the immediate area. This includes private property, roadways and sidewalks. This order also includes the media who remain in the area. <br> <br><strong>What items are prohibited in the event?</strong><br><strong> </strong><br>The event is being held at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum which is owned by the state of Arizona. Therefore, the Department of Public Safety is the law enforcement agency responsible inside the event. They have published information on their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.azdps.gov/news/ims/45">website</a> regarding the Presidential visit. <br></html></div>https://phoenix.gov/policeNewspolicePhoenix Presidential VisitPolice@PhoenixPolice @CityofPhoenixAZ @Arizona_DPS @StreetsPHXPresidential Visit, Campaign 2020, Presidential Election, Vote 2020Police Main PIOphoenixpd.pio@phoenix.govhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/MediaContact/Attachments/36/Police2.pngPhoenixPolice

 

 

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Property Tax Increasehttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/budget-and-research/2756Budget & Research5/26/2023 4:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2756/City-of-Phoenix-Aerial-View.jpgTruth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Property Tax Increase<div class="ExternalClass1239B8E01C3648D38709E476EC1E17EA"><html> <p> <strong>​Tax Notice Explained</strong> </p> <p>The accompanying Truth in Taxation notice is required by state law. The required notice addresses the City's primary property tax, which supports the General Fund services such as police and fire, parks and recreation, libraries and senior and community centers.</p> <p>The City of Phoenix's proposed primary property tax rate for 2023-24 of $1.2851 per $100 of assessed valuation is reduced from its 2022-23 rate of $1.2989 per $100 of assessed valuation. However, overall increases in assessed valuation result in a 2% increase in primary property taxes for the average City of Phoenix property owner. Individual experiences may differ based on unique property variances.</p> <p>State law requires the notice below any time the average primary property tax bill increases, even if the primary property tax rate is reduced. </p> <p>The Truth in Taxation notice prescribed by state law does not address the City's secondary property tax. The City's secondary property tax rate for 2023-24 will be unchanged from its 2022-23 rate of $0.8141 per $100 of assessed valuation. Secondary property taxes pay the bonded debt service for facilities like libraries, police and fire stations, storm drains and parks.</p> <p>For more information, call 602-262-4800, or visit <a target="_blank" href="file:///C:/Users/082377/Desktop/phoenix.gov/budget">phoenix.gov/budget</a>.</p> <p>Truth in Taxation notice publication dates and locations:</p> <ul> <li>The Record Reporter – May 26, 2023, and June 5, 2023.</li> </ul> <p>Additionally included in published estimates of revenues and expenses:</p> <ul> <li>The Record Reporter – June 12, 2023.</li> </ul> <p> <strong>Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase</strong> </p> <p>In compliance with section 42-17107, Arizona Revised Statutes, the City of Phoenix is notifying its property taxpayers of the City of Phoenix's intention to raise its primary property taxes over last year's level.  The City of Phoenix is proposing an increase in primary property taxes of $4,098,863 or 2.00%.</p> <p>For example, the proposed tax increase will cause the City of Phoenix's primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $128.51 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase). Without the proposed tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed on a $100,000 home would have been $125.99.</p> <p>The proposed increase is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.</p> <p>All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the tax increase that is scheduled to be held June 14, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. at the City of Phoenix Council Chambers, 200 W. Jefferson St.<br></p> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/budgetNews

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.
