Today, Tempe Police hosted their shop with a cop event and brought smiles to many faces! Shop with a cop is an event where officers take kids to get Christmas gifts for their families and to spread the holiday cheer. Thank you to all the officers and cadets who volunteered their time to bring happy memories to others!

All good things must come to an end. With a combined 14 years in the post, these three worked nonstop to make sure everything operated smoothly. Whether it by was running meetings, taking charge at events, or simply motivating a fellow cadet, they showed everyone what it meant to be a leader. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work over the years. We wish Mr. Vale, Mr. Robinson, and Ms. Torres nothing but good luck in the future and hope to one day see them all wearing a Tempe Police uniform!
