| Nearly 500 police employees and
more than 150 firefighters and staff help keep Tempe safe.
The contributions of these men and women range from
patrolling Tempe streets to criminal investigations, from
teaching residents how to reduce the chance of crime at
their business to helping the Homeland Security Office
protect the community from terrorists.
Tempe police has a Slumlord Task Force designed to reduce crime and
improve housing.
Tempe’s firefighters are all certified emergency medical
technicians and hazardous materials First Responders. The
current average response time is just more than 4 minutes.
An additional fire station is planned, which will shorten
that time to about 3.5 minutes.
