Connecting Santa Cruz County

We are thrilled to introduce our readers to this month's community feature, which will highlight the efforts of individuals and groups working to make Nogales a safer, more connected, and more informed place. Introducing the NPD Monthly Roll Call, a monthly page dedicated to highlighting ongoing projects, community partnerships, and the many ways the Nogales Police Department (NPD) works to build
relationships across the city. Nogales residents will gain a deeper understanding of the officers, staff, and programs that support and uplift our
community behind the scenes through this new section.
Recently, the Nogales Police Department hosted a heartfelt and energetic community presentation honoring the people behind the badge, which
perfectly captured the spirit of this new initiative. It was a visual journey celebrating the department's dedication, teamwork, and compassion from the moment the lights dimmed.
Spotlights on the D.A.R.E. program at Challenger Elementary brought warmth and hope into the room. Officers led students in lively lessons on drug-free living, while kids covered classroom doors in bright, creative Red Ribbon Week posters. These photos captured the purest form of community policing education, trust, and mentorship. Parking Control Officers M. Adcock, A. Garcia, and Y. Velez were shown standing in solidarity during the National Day of Remembrance for Murdered Victims, a quiet but powerful reminder that NPD stands with families who carry unimaginable loss.
The Nogales Police Department is more than just a law enforcement agency. It is a tapestry of dedicated individuals committed to service, partnership, education, and compassion. Through the NPD Monthly Roll Call, our community will now have the opportunity to see that dedication up close every month. For those who want to learn more or connect with the department, the Nogales Police Department is located at
777 N. Grand Ave., Nogales, AZ 85621, and can be reached at 520-285-5805.
