 Welcome to the
Tempe Police Department Website

This website is your gateway to information, resources, and services that keep our community informed, engaged, and connected.

The Tempe Police Department is accredited by the Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ALEAP), demonstrating our commitment to professionalism, accountability, and excellence in service. Our Emergency 911 services and Patrol Officers are available 24/7 to protect and serve the City of Tempe.

Tempe’s unique diversity guides our public safety mission. With approximately 191,000 residents, a rapidly growing density, hundreds of large-scale events, and a daily service population of 268,000–320,000, our city presents both evolving challenges and exciting opportunities.

We meet these needs through strong partnerships with neighborhoods, City Council, city departments, social service agencies, school districts, Arizona State University, businesses, faith-based organizations, and the many diverse people who call Tempe home.
