Fountain Hills AZ Tea Party will address “Policing in Fountain Hills” Thursday, Oct. 26, at 6:30 p.m. at the Fountain Hills Community Center.

Public safety has been a topic of discussion in recent months.  The cost for police services in Fountain Hills constitutes a significant portion of the town’s budget.  The Town Council just approved a new contract with Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), but it includes an option to withdraw from the contract with proper notice.

Questions about our past and current service have been raised and some alternatives have been proposed.  The guest speaker panel on Thursday, Oct. 26, will include several people with knowledge about this issue: Jerry Sheridan, candidate for County Sheriff; David Spelich, former Town Council member and retired Chicago Police detective; Gerry Friedel, candidate for mayor; and Larry Meyers, longtime Fountain Hills resident. 

As always, all interested parties are welcome to attend, listen, ask questions, and get informed.  Admission is free but donations to cover expenses are welcomed and appreciated.

Fountain Hills AZ Tea Party is a local not-for-profit organization established in 2010 to provide education about important issues of government and governing.  For more Information, visit fhteaparty.us.
