For phone numbers, contacts, and more related to stopping crime in Laveen
This has been an idea of ours for a long time - to get some information on the website that can actually empower the community to fight back against crime in their neighborhoods. Whether its simple blights and graffiti to more serious offenses, the hope for this page is for it to become a one-stop to CrimeStop!
It is still definitely a work in progress, so check back for updates. And of course, if you have any suggestions for the page, do not hesitate to email us at council@laveen.org.
