MCSO personnel to patrol Valley malls over holiday season

Posted

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office posse volunteers will be patrolling Valley malls this holiday season, as they have in past years, according to a release.

MCSO Sheriff Paul Penzone supports and appreciates posse volunteers for the work they provide to the community and the office, the release stated.

MCSO said the presence of its uniformed posse around the malls has helped to deter potential crimes from taking place.

The MCSO Posse and Deputies will be patrolling the exterior of the following malls:

Arrowhead Mall: 7700 W. Arrowhead Towne Center, Glendale

Biltmore Fashion Park: 2502 E. Camelback Road

Chandler Mall: 3111 W. Chandler Blvd

Desert Sky Mall: 7611 W. Thomas Road

Paradise Valley Mall: 4568 E. Cactus Road,

Scottsdale Fashion Square: 7014 E. Camelback Road

Superstition Springs Mall: 6555 E. Southern Avenue

Safety tips for shoppers:

  • Be mindful of where you park and what entrance you use in the mall.
  •  Do not leave any valuables in a visible area of your vehicle (put your purchases in your trunk if possible).
  • Remember to lock your vehicle doors.
  • Take a moment before getting out of your vehicle to observe the area for any suspicious bystanders.
  • When exiting the mall, scan your surroundings for any suspicious behavior. If something seems out of place, contact our posse members so they can escort you to your vehicle.

If shoppers have any questions or concerns, contact an on-site posse member or deputy.

"We are there to help and create a safe shopping experience for our communities this holiday seasons," the release stated.
