29th Annual Law Enforcement
Torch Run Phoenix Police Depart-
ment;
The mission of the Arizona Law
Enforcement Torch Run is to
raise funds and awareness for
Special Olympics Ar izona
statewide. We carry the Torch
representing the Flame of Hope
and dedicate ourselves to helping
Special Olympics Ar izona
throughout the state.
Special thanks to all department
employees who helped make the
Phoenix Police Department’s
participation in the Law Enforce-
ment Torch Run a huge success.
All precincts and bureaus were
well represented as we ran in
three separate “legs” of the Law
Enforcement Torch Run which
originated simultaneously in
Kingman, Page and Yuma. Cac-
tus Park Precinct coordinated a
“bike run” with some participants
biking in from as far away as
Morristown. In Wittmann
Phoenix PD and Maricopa County employees share
the 11 mile leg. They jointly hand the “torch of
hope” to Surprise PD. As has happened in the past,
Phoenix Police Office Dave Tovar handed the torch
to his brother Surprise Police Officer Chris Tovar.
This year’s Torch participants ran/biked on Thurs-
day. On Friday the opening ceremony started down-
town at Wesley Bolin Plaza. Runners carried the
“Torch of Hope” into the main sports arena at Grand
Canyon University to a very jubilant and enthusiastic
crowd. The competition was scheduled to be week-
long where athletes compete in a variety of events.

Cinnabar Block Watch Places Flags in Every Yard
The Memorial Day weekend
marked the first of an annual
event for the Cinnabar Neigh-
borhood community. Every one
of the residents decided to
place full size flags in their front
yards. Members gathered to
install 100 in-ground placement
anchors and fabricated flag
poles with full size American
flags, to be placed on Memorial
Day.
At 4:15 in the morning on Me-
morial Day, approximately 25
residents assembled for the
hour long placement by walking
around putting flags in every
yard. The idea was born from
Block Watch President Trish
Brewer’s two sons. They are
both serving in the US Army and
came up with the idea. Trish
reached out to her community
and organized the program,
gaining both financial support
and manpower from each of
her neighbors in the Cinnabar
neighborhood.
She then invited all the news
channels to attend the event,
most of which arrived and aired
the event on their respective
news programs.
Trish said she wanted to show
the community, especially the
children, what Memorial Day was
all about, and at the same time,
bring the community together-
this could not have been a better
way. The flags were taken down
at dusk, folded and stored.
There are plans to place them
during the Independence Day
celebration as well.

On April 26th, The
active members of the
Phoenix Neighborhood
Patrol were honored
for donating their time, and for being “Eyes and Ears”, patrolling their own
neighborhoods. The annual event was held at the North Hills Church in
Phoenix. Assistant Chief Joseph Yahner praised the members for their
hard work and diligent accomplishments during 2013. The Explorer Honor
Guard conducted opening ceremonies for the 220 guests. The precinct
PNP coordinators, along with resource squad members from various pre-
cincts, served up a Bar-B-Q buffet style lunch with cake and whipped
cream for dessert.
2014 Annual PNP Appreciation Luncheon
Cactus Park Precinct Indoor Range Gets a Face Lift
Officers assigned to the Cactus Park Precinct donated their time and
effort to paint and make improvements to the indoor range used for
quarterly fire-arms and tactical confrontation training. Range master
qualified officers can alter the lighting and instruct the trainee in a
safe and controlled environment. Each precinct has their own onsite
indoor range.

Are you afraid to step into a plane and fly? Do you know someone who’s afraid to fly? Fear no more. Phoenix Sky Harbor has teamed up
with Captain Ron Nielson to offer free classes aimed at conquering the fear of flying. The classes are held almost every month at Ameri-
ca’s Friendliest Airport.
Registration for the two-and-a-half hour classes is easy. Simply go to www.fearlessflight.com and sign up for the class that is most conven-
ient for you. Captain Ron has been teaching the class for 26 years; he knows a thing or two about flying, having been a commercial airline
pilot for more than 40 years. He says there are two principal reasons why people have a fear of flying: a) they hate the feeling of being
“trapped,” and b) they can’t shake their catastrophic thought of believing that something “bad” is going to happen with their plane.
“Your odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 23 million,” says Captain Ron. “Today, your odds of becoming president are 1 in 22 million,
so you actually have a better chance of being elected president than experiencing something bad in a plane.” The retired pilot says he
encourages his students to bring their spouse or friend to the class, if that makes them more comfortable about attending his classes.
The next classes are listed below.
Cleared for Takeoff 101 Class
1 p.m. on July 19, 2014 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport - Terminal 3
