3 issues in public safety with medium priority
Mesa Police Academy Training MOU
The Town wants to formalize an agreement with Mesa Police Department so Paradise Valley officers can train at Mesa's basic training police academy.
Photo Enforcement Contract Amendment
A compromise keeps photo enforcement alive: if voters pass SCR1004 in 2026, towns with existing photo enforcement contracts (like Paradise Valley) must ask their own voters in 2028 to continue it. Without the deal, a total statewide ban was headed to the ballot.
Sunset of the Town Alarm Monitoring Program
The town's own alarm monitoring program serves only about 238 homes, generates 99% false alarms, and loses money. The council agreed to sunset it and help current subscribers move to private alarm companies. Roughly 8 to 20 staff hours a week go to administering it.
