Maryvale Precinct
Information Provided by the Police Department

Welcome to Maryvale Precinct! We have a large, diverse community that is located in the southwest portion of the City Of Phoenix. Currently, there are over 265,000 people who reside in Maryvale in a geographic area of 54.4 square miles. Please take the time to read our vision statement as well as the resources available to you in our precinct. We want to make Maryvale a vibrant and safe community for all to enjoy.

Community Based Policing is a philosophy that requires all participants to become accountable and responsible for actions in their sphere of control.
The philosophy behind the operational programs within Maryvale Precinct is simple, but effective, and will include accountability to the residents of Maryvale and require accountability by the residents of Maryvale. We are all equally engaged in the process of revitalization and restoration for the geographical area known as Maryvale Precinct.

There are three components of our philosophy:

  • ENFORCEMENT
  • EDUCATION
  • TREATMENT

ENFORCEMENT:

We will concentrate on four categories of enforcement within Maryvale Precinct. Each category will have an assigned liaison officer who will act as a bridge of information to specialty bureaus and our precinct. These liaisons will be responsible for collecting all data regarding their specialty and provide monthly reports on the number of occurrences, police reports, arrests, field interrogations, and recovery of property or contraband, including dollar amounts of items recovered/seized. The Resource Lieutenant will provide a monthly report on the activities of the Crime Suppression Unit including all crime suppression programs implemented in the precinct and the results of these programs, including all recap from each of the five assigned squads. This report will also include all programs implemented in the Weed & Seed Site.

The four categories of specialized enforcement will be:

Robbery
Auto Theft
Burglary
Prostitution/Drugs

These categories of specialized enforcement have been documented as crime issues within the precinct that require immediate reduction. All crime suppression programs will be directed towards these goals and will include daily proactive intervention. Crime suppression managers will provide plans and directives to actively engage these habitual offenders and targeted offenses in a proactive manner.
