Message from the Chief

In an effort to foster transparency and keep the community

informed, I am pleased to present the 2018 Tolleson Police

Department Annual Report.

The Tolleson Police Department continues to work hard to

provide a safe and healthy environment for all of those who live,

work, visit and share their life with family and friends in the City

of Tolleson.

Our focus this past year has been the use of data to provide

directive patrol and identify areas within the city that require

more of a Police presence to reduce and control crime.

Technology continues to be a priority within the department to

improve Officer Efficiency and Officer Performance. The

implementation of Body Worn Cameras, Digital Citations and

Crash Reports was a major step in that direction.

It is a personal Honor for me to work alongside the dedicated

men and women of the Tolleson Police Department as we strive

to provide the best Pubic Safety Services for all those we serve.

Be Nice

Committed to Teamwork

Pride in Everything We Do

Dedicated to Service

Uncompromising Integrity

About Tolleson

Founded in 1912 by Walter G. and Alethea H.

Tolleson, and incorporated in 1929.

Tolleson is located on the west side of the

Phoenix metropolitan area. The community lies

just south of I-10 and covers almost 6 miles.

During the 1970's, city planners developed a

master plan, which included a sewage treatment

plant essential for industrial and residential

growth. The following decade several distribution

centers entered Tolleson.

Today, Tolleson has over 20 Fortune 500

companies employing more than 20,000

employees, compared to just over 7,000 residents

in almost a 6-mile jurisdiction. This results in one

of the most impressive jobs-to-residents’ ratios in

the nation.

Communications A call for service generally refers to any call requiring action by the police department. A call for service can be

initiated by the public or a police officer on patrol. Each “Call for Service” is assigned an Incident Number and

logged into the Computer Aided Dispatch, or “CAD.” In January 2017 the Tolleson Communication center

began dispatching for three different agencies and receives several calls every day. In 2017 there were 48,171

calls for service and 2018 there were a total of 53,183 calls for service.

Calls for service increased 10.4% over previous year (up 5,061 calls over last year)
