GOVERNMENT
A mayor, six council members and a town manager govern the town of Prescott Valley, actively promoting and preparing for our city’s future. With those sentiments in mind, the council has played a major role in the city’s sustained growth. Under the direction of this mayor and council, the town created the popular and successful Citizen’s Academy. This 10-week course educates community members about the various departments within the town government and their functions.
The Prescott Valley Police Department (PVPD) is currently staffed with76 sworn personnel and 22 civilian positions divided into two main divisions. The Field Services Division consists of patrol, traffic, K9, animal control and a special response team. The Support Services Division consists of criminal investigations, school resource and records. In addition, the chief’s Administrative Section consists of administrative support, training/background coordination and volunteers. PVPD also belongs to a regionalized dispatch center housed in Prescott.
The department practices community-oriented policing and participates in such programs as Neighborhood Block Watch, Business Watch, National Night Out, “Every 15 Minutes,” First Responder Smart Card, Watch Your Car, Police Explorers and Volunteers in Policing.
