October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and throughout the month our Tempe Police Department team will be wearing pink badges and patches to show our support for those who have battled, survived, and continue to fight this disease. 💗

A small symbol with a powerful message, we stand together in strength, hope, and compassion.

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.

We also stand with our City Council and City Manager as they work to navigate the complex balance of compassionately addressing homelessness while responsibly managing a safe and livable city.

🧵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.

[Tempe Officers Association @ToaAz]

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.

[Chief Kenneth McCoy @ChiefKenMcCoy]

Big congrats to @TempePolice Officer Aaron Williams, named 2025 First Responder of the Year by the @TempeChamber! 👏

As our Naloxone Program Coordinator, he ensures our officers are trained & equipped to save lives when seconds matter.

Proud of his life-saving leadership! 💙

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!

[Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell @Rachel1Mitchell]

“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.

LATEST: Chicago officer plans to sue Tempe PD over arrest for allegedly squealing tires

https://t.co/GhKZj0aShp

[Tempe Officers Association @ToaAz]

Selective edits and a false narrative. Shocked.

[ABC15 Arizona @abc15]

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

[Tempe Officers Association @ToaAz]

Total garbage story. Our cops and our city go above and beyond.

On this MLK holiday, let's remember the powerful words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: 'I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.' Let’s choose love and unity today and every day. #MLKDay
