@TempePolice Great to have the @Angels stop by. We trust someone reminded them whose state this is. @Dbacks

The Los Angeles Angels stepped up to the plate at the Apache Substation yesterday, covering all the bases as they got a firsthand look at what careers after baseball can look like. Players went behind the scenes to better understand the work we do!

🇺🇸Honored to be a part of #SaluteToService with the @AZCardinals @PhoenixToolBank @pattillmanfnd Spending the day with players, veterans, cheerleaders and the community, building picnic tables for veteran organizations. We even put BigRed to work!🇺🇸

Tempe leads the Valley with a 21% drop in violent crime — proof that strategy, innovation, and community partnership make a difference. 💙

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and throughout the month our Tempe Police Department team will be wearing pink badges and patches to show our support for those who have battled, survived, and continue to fight this disease. 💗 A small symbol with a powerful message, we stand together in strength, hope, and compassion. #TempePolice #BreastCancerAwareness #StrongerTogether

Fidelis ad mortem

We also stand with our City Council and City Manager as they work to navigate the complex balance of compassionately addressing homelessness while responsibly managing a safe and livable city.

Our department works daily with social workers, outreach teams, and medical providers to connect people to services, not jail cells. Enforcing laws does not make someone inhumane; dehumanizing public servants with slurs does.

🧵Accusations comparing Tempe Police officers to Nazis are not only reprehensible, they are dangerously ignorant. Our officers are among the most highly trained in the nation when it comes to mental health and crisis response, and they lead with compassion, not cruelty.

Big congrats to @TempePolice Officer Aaron Williams, named 2025 First Responder of the Year by the @TempeChamber! 👏 As our Naloxone Program Coordinator, he ensures our officers are trained & equipped to save lives when seconds matter. Proud of his life-saving leadership! 💙 #TempePD #FirstResponderOfTheYear #ProudChief #LifeSavingLeadership #TempeChamber

Every person is endowed by God with the Freedom to Speak, Assemble and be heard. Assaulting and attacking cops is unacceptable and should be denounced by everyone!

It's like you were shining down on us today Drew! Fidelis ad mortem

With heavy hearts, we honor the life of Officer Drew Nystrom, who served the Tempe community for more than two decades with unwavering dedication His legacy will live on — in his loving family, our department, and in the community he helped protect. He will never be forgotten💙

Calling all pickelballers— 🤗 Charity #pickelball tournament for @SOArizona ✅ beginners ✅ intermediate ✅ advanced @thepicklr @TempePolice @ToaAz @The_Picklr

I was honored to swear in our 10 new officers today! As they join the @TempePolice , they are entrusted to uphold our values of excellence, professionalism, & compassion. 💙 Together, we will continue to serve and protect our community with pride. Welcome to the family! #TempePD

Tempe cops don't give preferential treatment to anyone. Even Chicago cops who break the law and seek special treatment are treated like every other citizen. Professionally and with respect. Lawful stop. Lawful arrest. End of story.

Selective edits and a false narrative. Shocked.

Total garbage story. Our cops and our city go above and beyond. “If the city is not willing to help them, we are.” abc15.com/news/region-so…

On this MLK holiday, let's remember the powerful words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: 'I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.' Let’s choose love and unity today and every day. #MLKDay

The War on Cops continues to rage! 342 officers shot in 2024 378 officer shot in 2023 The highest two years since we started tracking the data. For reference that is one police officer shot every 24 hours in America. Every American should be outraged at the depraved violence directed at our nation’s law enforcement. Let’s fix it! Pass the Protect and Serve Act Stop the Revolving Door CJ System Hold the media accountable for their anti police, click bait BS Stop treating cops like scum in this country That’s how we stop the War on Cops!
