During this past holiday season, November 25 to December 31, 2011, the Salt River Police Department Traffic Enforcement Bureau (TEB), Field Operations Division (FOD) and Public Safety Communications Division (PSCD) dispatchers conducted the East Valley Holiday and New Year’s Eve DUI Task Force within the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. The goals were to enforce tribal and state traffic laws, specifically focused on impaired drivers, and to educate drivers to increase roadway safety within the Community and to reduce collisions, especially serious-injury and fatal collisions.

September 11, 2011 marked the 10-year remembrance of the terrorist attack on the United States. This event forever altered our lives. The events of that day resulted in a momentous loss of life and property in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, and we have spent the past decade grieving for those who were taken from us.

If you are a young man or woman interested in a career in law enforcement, the Salt River Police Department Explorers Program, Post 909, is just the program for you.
