Message from TCFC steering Leaders Monica Carlson and Josh Jacobsen
We are happy to share some exciting news about our co-steering Leader Kevin Daily, who was recently appointed to the Flowing Wells Governing Board.

Kevin has a 22 year and counting track record of giving back to his community previously on the Flowing Wells School Board, making him ideal for this appointment.
TCFC Steering met with Pima County Administration and Justice Services Staff at the Transition Center for an update on progress and data points
On 11/16/23, TCFC Steering leaders met with Pima County and Justice Services staff to review progress at the Transition Center. The Transition Center has been open for roughly three months, data is coming in, but more work needs to be done. As data and outcomes are measured, TCFC will continue to report on progress.
TCFC Is Looking at Potential Legislation At The State Level
A bad story with a good outcome from one of our TCFC Steering Leaders about a bad experience filing a TPD crime report online - But, Persistence Pays - PLEASE REPORT
We at TCFC have asked everyone to keep reporting crime - even though you know nothing will be done.
No officers will respond, no phone calls will be made to you - so WHY take the time to report when the outcome is nothing? It just takes time that we don’t have!
It is important to keep reporting because if we don’t The City of Tucson reports that crime is down, that Tucson is improving in crime numbers. We all know crime is under reported.
One of our members did exactly what we are asking everyone to do. She reported a crime online- knowing NOTHING would be done and not having the time to do it anyway. She reported a crime (non life threatening) as an online report. She was unable to do this online and received a message that it was out of the TPD’s jurisdiction. Knowing this was not true, she tried 2 more times. She then called the non-emergency line at 911 and was told that this happens sometimes and was told to come to a TPD station to report. Not able to get there and thinking it was ridiculous and that no one would do this in any other situation she then emailed TPD Chief Chad Kasmar and told him about the situation.
She heard back from Chief Kasmar and received two phone calls from The Tucson Police Department on this situation in the next two days.
The problem that was being reported was solved very quickly and was told TPD is looking at why this problem is happening. Persistence pays off. PLEASE keep reporting crimes you see - broken windows on your business, broken windows in your car, house or porch break ins, open air drug use, drug use and crime at the bus stops or on buses, trespassing at your home, apartment building or business. It is all crime and it needs to be reported.
One takeaway is you should not have to call the Chief to fix a problem like this. But thank goodness he answers his email. Thank you Chief Kasmar.

No matter how busy we are, its our city, and if we are going to keep it, then who will fight more than concerned citizens, keep ups then persistance, I believe in Divine intervention like the story in the Bible ,When a lady kept ok, bugging the corrupt judge even though he feared not God nor man, he answered her request because of her continual complaint!!! Can I get a witness?
I learned a long time ago , that the police do not Always come out for everything, but I keep them informed and its a record and sometimes it has payed off!
The Transition Center is an excellent idea but it seems to be all talk and no action.
Jam-packed, eventful newsletter. Good work!
Kevin and crew! Well done
