Tempe's unique diversity shapes our public safety mission.

We continue to build on 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.

People come to Tempe from across the globe to live, work, play, learn, and share life with family - making life investments for years to come. Tempe PD is part of this community fabric and we can only be truly effective when we merit the trust and support of those we serve. Please enjoy navigating our website.
