Summer Safety Message from County Attorney Allister Adel 

Keep Your Vehicle in Your Driveway

Vehicles are a necessary part of our lives and a significant financial investment, making it devastating to have one stolen, especially during the summer months. Most vehicle thefts are crimes of opportunity and can be prevented by practicing safety habits.

Drive Responsibly and Keep Our Roads Safe 

We are all responsible for driving safely. Yet when crashes occur, in more than 90 percent of cases, they result from irresponsible driver behavior such as speeding, distracted driving, driving while intoxicated, or driving recklessly. Help keep our roads safe this summer by being a responsible driver.

Safeguard Your Home this Vacation Season

After a year of being at home, many are looking forward to taking time off this summer and finally traveling and going on vacation. Unfortunately, families aren't the only ones looking forward to vacations. Burglars are ready to take advantage of unlocked doors, open windows, and homes without security systems.

National Heatstroke Awareness Day

Even on mild or cloudy days, temperatures inside parked vehicles can reach life-threatening levels. Make a plan to remember every time a child or pet is in your backseat and help Arizona ensure that not one more life is lost to vehicular heatstroke.
