Pedestrian fatalities in the city of Phoenix have been increasing and the Phoenix Police Department has launched a campaign to remind everyone of some very basic rules that can help keep you alive. Sometimes we think the short cut is wroth it, but in the end, the long way would have been better. Please take a moment to share these fliers (in English and Spanish) with your Facebook friends and neighbhorhood groups. 

Criminals continue to grow more violent. Every day, the men and women on the front lines in the City of Phoenix face a full-on assault from the criminal element in our city. You and your family continue to be at risk.

FACT: The Phoenix Police Department is dangerously understaffed with hundreds fewer police officers than in 2008.
