Plus, we are home to the Angels Essential Area, where individuals can shop freely for durable medical equipment donated by our local community. If you have any questions, please call 928-763-0193, or stop and see us at 2275 Train Road here in Bullhead City. We are located off Highway 95 between Marina Boulevard and Hancock Road, right next to City Hall. We've had many, many problems. You've heard me talking about the wipes and the flushable wipes that are really not flushable. We've had to replace two or three uh pumps at the beginning of that plant to a cost of about 40,000 apiece uh just about every year. Bullhead City was incorporated in August of 1984. The police department took over in 1985. We are in the Northwest area of Arizona, and we sit right on the Colorado River, right across the river from Laughlin, Nevada. Our mission here is to make sure that uh we provide the service that the citizens want and deserve by getting out into the community and listening to them, carrying what they want out of their police department, and then changing our our practices accordingly. The way the system of government is set up in America, the the citizens give us our power and authority. And so it's really important that we get out and we listen to them. So getting out in the community gives them a chance to come up and tell us what they want and ask us questions and get to know us. My focus on constitutional policing is keeping it at the forefront. Uh, the Constitution is such an important document in our society and our way of life that uh you understand that our authority to police comes from the consent of the government. So if you understand that principle, it gives that document a different dimension. So constitutional policing for me is keeping it at the front, making sure my decisions are in line with the principles of the Constitution. And you also have to evaluate how has the Constitution been interpreted by the courts. The community oriented policing unit is the uh the cops unit. They handle boats in the summer, the waterway patrols, they do a lot of OHV, which is the off-highway vehicle or the UTV uh patrols as well. So through the desert on canams or side-by-sides. We do a lot of those patrols and enforcements as well. They do a lot of homeless uh outreach because in our area there's because of the weather, you can have a lot more homeless than say somewhere cold. So we have a lot that are out in the desert that we can go out to with those UTVs and those side-by-sides, and we can reach out to them and provide them some of their resources. Our officers every every year coming back from summer vacation and from Christmas vacation. We have officers get out in the school zones, every school zone in town, uh, for about two, three weeks. And we have them get in the center lane, turn on their lights, uh, let citizens know hey, school's back in session, slow down. You've got kids walking around. Uh, so it's a safety aspect. But then the other cool thing that happens is our officers get out, they start interacting with the kids, you know, doing some high-fives, handing out stickers, just encouraging them to get back in school. And the reason why that's so important is because you know, with kids, you never know what background they come from. When you get out and you interact with them, these kids get to see, man, these guys are they're just they're normal people, normal men and women. And uh inspiring. Backup is our mobile crisis unit, and it stands for Bullhead Area, Community Crisis Unification Program. We serve the General Service Area of Bullhead City. The mobile crisis unit is important for our community members who suffer from uh mental health diagnosis and or acute crisis. The piece is geared towards uh assisting our public safety, both our law enforcement and our EMS uh individuals, so that when they identify on scene someone who has an acute crisis or mental health diagnosis, we can come in, take command of that scene when it's safe, and get our public safety and our EMS personnel back on the street doing what they can do.
