Tucson Crime Free Coalition members, 
 

We have great news to share with you and our community. After months of our reporting and advocacy, conversations with the City, community involvement and media coverage, the Estevan Park fentanyl camp has finally been cleaned up and the park has been returned to the neighborhood and community!

TCFC and Pima County are moving forward with real solutions. We are hopeful that this is a sign that the City of Tucson sees the urgency of what our community is dealing with and is ready to be part of the solution as well.

When encampments like this are cleaned out it is a huge endeavor. We know that the City staff that has to physically perform this action and TPD do not have an easy job and we appreciate the job they did today. Part of this process is making sure that all of the inhabitants are given a 72 hour notice and are provided with shelter and treatment options. We hope that many of these individuals were receptive and took the opportunity to receive help. It is simply not humane to enable people to live in such dire and desperate conditions. We must continue to offer treatment and support to those in need, yet enforce our laws and hold people accountable.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR TCFC MEMBERS! Stay Vigilant as we are only beginning and we want to accelerate momentum as we work towards a safer community for all and reclaim what belongs to us- public places and our community. 

Tell a friend!  Our 3600 members and pressure is what is making them start to listen.  We need more!  Signup and get involved on our website:  TucsonCrimeFree.com

    That is exceptionally good news, and gives me hope that your long hours of hard work are paying off! We can’t ask for more than that! Our company will continue to support you, send emails to officials, and continue to recruit new members. This coalition will accomplish miracles!!

    Great work! Thank you for your commitment and hard work. It’s long overdue to have an organization like this one advocating for the best interests of the broader community! Thank you.

    Thank you so much! You’re doing vital community and public safety work! Are you working on a 501©3? – many of us would give money and time to such an organization. Tucson is a good town; the fentanyl crisis and associated crime and malingering (visit the 4th Ave. underpass) requires constant vigilance to keep this menace at bay. Your efforts exemplify that diligence!

    Thank you for your efforts, great job! Please keep up the pressure and let’s put pressure on Conover to enforce the law and prosecute those who break the law. This will help immensely in making continued headway against those making life for the citizens of Pima County.
