Police Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of our department. He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today. We join in prayer during this time of incomprehensible pain. We will forever honor his legacy. #FidelisAdMortem

Our department works daily with social workers, outreach teams, and medical providers to connect people to services, not jail cells. Enforcing laws does not make someone inhumane; dehumanizing public servants with slurs does.

The reality is this: Tempe officers have used NARCAN to save over 200 lives of unhoused individuals struggling with addiction. These are not the actions of oppressors, they are the actions of professionals committed to human dignity.

🧵Accusations comparing Tempe Police officers to Nazis are not only reprehensible, they are dangerously ignorant. Our officers are among the most highly trained in the nation when it comes to mental health and crisis response, and they lead with compassion, not cruelty.

Every person is endowed by God with the Freedom to Speak, Assemble and be heard. Assaulting and attacking cops is unacceptable and should be denounced by everyone!
“Let me be clear: assaulting a police officer, or hurting another person, or damaging property for any reason is not acceptable and those who do so will be held accountable for their unlawful actions."

Tempe cops don't give preferential treatment to anyone. Even Chicago cops who break the law and seek special treatment are treated like every other citizen. Professionally and with respect. Lawful stop. Lawful arrest. End of story.

Selective edits and a false narrative. Shocked.
Video obtained by ABC15 shows Tempe officers placing a Chicago officer in handcuffs for allegedly squealing his tires for “1-2 seconds.” Jalen Woods filed multiple complaints with Tempe PD, saying he believes he was targeted for being Black. STORY: https://t.co/mfoKDa7DT3

Total garbage story. Our cops and our city go above and beyond. “If the city is not willing to help them, we are.”

On Sunday, Tempe Police cited Ron Tapscott, the organizer of an outreach group called "New Meal Deal," for holding an event at Mouer Park without a permit.

The War on Cops continues to rage! 342 officers shot in 2024 378 officer shot in 2023 The highest two years since we started tracking the data. For reference that is one police officer shot every 24 hours in America. Every American should be outraged at the depraved violence
