A STATEMENT FROM CHIEF KASMAR TO THE COMMUNITY |
|
|
The Tucson Police Department remains committed to providing a high level of service and ensuring the safety of all members of our community. We are aware of and monitoring recent federal immigration enforcement actions and the deployment of military personnel taking place in other states.
Federal immigration enforcement operations have been occurring throughout Arizona, including locations in Tucson. We recognize that these activities cause concern and uncertainty for members of our community. The Tucson Police Department is not involved in federal immigration enforcement operations.
We have had peaceful demonstrations and additional community events are planned. We fully respect the constitutional rights of individuals to peacefully assemble and express their views. Our role is to help ensure the safety of all involved and to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
The department will continue to provide public safety support for gatherings and will only intervene if necessary to address criminal behavior that threatens people and property. We encourage all members of the community to engage in peaceful protests, and we remain dedicated to supporting safe and respectful demonstrations throughout Tucson.
