May 19th, 2013, marked a tragic first in the history of the City of Phoenix. First responders mourned the loss of Police Officer Daryl Raetz and Firefighter Brad Harper who both lost their lives in the line of duty on the same day. As with previous tragedies in our city, the community quickly jumped into action offering condolences and support as they lined the streets with flags and banners during the processions of the fallen. As numerous benefits were held around the city, the support continued as family members, friends, community members and local businesses donated funds and time to hon-or these two fine young men who died entirely too soon. It is important for all of the community members who support us during these tragic times know how much we appreciate them and that we do this job for that very reason.
THANK YOU!

OFFICER CENTENIUS BILLINGSLEA #7917
On August 19th, 2012, an unknown suspect became involved in a verbal confronta-tion with several victims near 70th Ave and St. Charles Ave. The verbal confrontation esca-lated to a fight that ended with the suspect leaving the residence in a vehicle. While driv-ing out of the neighborhood, the suspect drove past the victim’s residence and fired sever-al .40 caliber bullets at the victims in this case. This open act of violence escalated the anxiety of community members and created an envi-ronment of fear among the residents in this densely populated community. At the time of the shooting, Officer Centenius Billingslea was assigned as the Com-munity Action Officer for the area where the shooting occurred. Officer Billingslea was quick to seek out the detective assigned to the case to offer his assistance with the investiga-tion. Additionally, Officer Billingslea used his connections with the community to obtain other relevant facts that might lead to the iden-tification of the suspect. As the investigation continued, evidence led investigators to the identity of the suspect from the shooting. Officer Billingslea worked with the detective to conduct photo line-ups with the three wit-nesses from the shooting which resulted in developing probable cause to arrest the sus-pect. Officer Billingslea then conducted extensive research to locate the suspect and worked with our Major Offender Bureau to help facilitate the surveillance and apprehen-sion of the suspect; however, due to manpow-er shortages, the Major Offender Bureau was unable to commit the necessary resources to facilitate a quick apprehension of the suspect. Officer Billingslea recognized the apprehen-sion of the suspect was of critical importance to help re-instill confidence and a feeling of safety within the community. He continued to conduct follow-up and research to locate the
suspect over the course of several weeks. On September 27th, 2012, Officer Billingslea was conducting follow-up on a community concern nearby the original shoot-ing location. As he was driving through the neighborhood, he recognized a vehicle that belonged to an acquaintance of the suspect parked in front of a residence. Believing the suspect may be using the vehicle, Officer Billingslea conducted surveillance on the vehi-cle and saw the suspect leave the residence in the vehicle. Officer Billingslea and additional po-lice units, were able to take the suspect into custody without incident. He was booked into Maricopa County jail on six counts of Aggra-vated Assault for the drive by shooting on Au-gust 19th. Officer Billingslea went above and beyond his assigned duties as a Community Action Officer to carry out extensive investi-gative action that resulted in the apprehension of a violent criminal and re-instilled the feeling of safety among the residents of the Trailside Point Community.

PHOENIX NEIGHBORHOOD PATROL ANNUAL APPRECIATION EVENT
PRECINCT’S
During the week of May 6th - May 10th, Estrella Mountain Precinct sponsored a bottled water drive to collect water for those in need during the hot summer months. We would like to thank our community and local business partners for all of the support in helping make the water drive a success. We were able to collect over 20,100 bottles of water during the drive and continue to receive do-nations from the community. It is because of our continued support from the community that the Police Department is able to be a success. Thank you to all of our community members!
OVER 20 THOUSAND BOTTLES OF WATER DONATED!
On Saturday, April 20th, 2013, the Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol (PNP) Program held its annual appreciation event for our members. This citywide event is a way for us as a department to thank all of the volunteers who take their time to participate in the program and patrol their neighborhoods in an effort to make them a safer place. During 2012, the city had over 250 active patrollers who reported over 28,550 volun-teer hours to the program. So far this year, over 150 new members have been trained and joined the program. In addition, the PNP training was offered in Spanish for the first time. We look forward to continue to diversify the program and offer additional training options to provide op-portunities for all community members.
