Public safety is what Oro Valley is known for. Thus, one of the safest cities in our nation.
I am happy with what we experience here in Sun City Oro Valley!
Maybe a program where the EMTs are trained to look for medical records on a form in a specific place (for seniors.) This program is used in other cities, forget its technical name, but everyone gets a vial and puts their info in it. But it only works if everyone participates.
The per capita number of police for cities with 25,000 to 50,000 residents is 17 officers per 10,000. Why does Oro valley have 100 officers?
I really appreciate what and how the GRFD interacts within my Sun City Oro Valley community. I have used them recently for blood pressure monitoring, requested wellness checks for neighbors who hadn't been seen outside in awhile and to close a garage door of a neighbor with a lock box who went on vacation and accidentally left their door open. Outstanding services! The OV volunteer patrol handle many dark house checks in Sun City Oro Valley, which makes our community a very safe place to live.
great group, much better to hire more of them then pay for an overpriced attorney for the city.
This is one of the safest cities in Arizona because OV has invested in fire and police. There is nothing more important to our welfare and I am grateful.
I think the police department is overstaffed compared to comparable size cities in AZ and other states. I suggest a study of FBI statistics and staffing and crime stats of comparable size cities around the US to see how we compare.
Glad the City Council approved funding for 4 additional police positions and the vehicles for them!
Very much appreciate the police and fire departments for making and keeping Oro Valley the safest city in Arizona and one of the safest in the country
we have way too many police officers and buildings for a town of this size and residential composition. you only need to see 4 cruisers at the scene of a traffic stop or accident to realize that. a real city could handle with one. a substation at Sun city and a new evidence location are absurd. the town wastes taxpayer money.
Overall very please with the department and professionalism when I encounter them. The city is relatively safe but wonder about neighborhood watch type programs.
Rather luxurious expenses reflected in city budget.
