Can’t find your name in the Directory?
— Sorry, a redesign of the sort process changed where where your name appears in the Directory.

The Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol PNP Civilian Citywide Directory is NOW sorted by the left-most column named Beat which may be defined as an abbreviation of ‘P‘recinct number, by the ‘S‘quad, then by ‘B‘eat, and finally sorted by (the member’s last name)”.
What is my  Police Precinct Beat Number?

We send the notifications of updated directories to all registered PNP Members for whom we have an email address. If you cannot find your name, in the directory, the problem may be that we do NOT have your email address on file, please let us know by responding here:

There are seven precincts: By the number:

200 -Black Mountain
400 -South Mountain
500 -Central City
600 -Desert Horizon
700 -Mountain View
800 -Maryvale / Estrella
900 -Cactus Park

Which Police Precinct Serves My Address?

Divisions of Specialization

The first digit of the Beat is the first number of your precinct.
The second Digit is the Squad Area, each precinct is divided into several squad areas.
The third digit is the Beat Area, there are several beat areas in each squad area.
As an example, If you lived in the southwest area of the Desert Horizon precinct, your Beat number may be “635”. That information tells the Phoenix Police Department (PPD) right were you are, and to the several PPD police personnel who work in your Squad area, it is like their ‘office’, they work there every day, and you will find their names and contact information in your Beat area.

‘The Directory’, as it has come to be known and will be called from here on, is managed and published by us, “PNP Citywide Civilian Facilitators” who help to build our PNP Community.

Hello to all PNP members and Phoenix Police Department!

NOTE:

  • The information in the PNP Directory report is private and privileged, and is created and managed for PNP members! It can be accessed by clicking the PNPDirectory link in the email message that brought you to  this page.
  • Please respect the privacy of other PNP’rs.
  • Do not share with non-PNP members, or abuse the listed members.
  • But please do share it with PNP members who may not have email access (encourage PNP members without an email address to get an email address they can share with us, otherwise, they (any PNP member without a PNP email address) will never receive PNP information.
  • Free email addresses are easy to get and use via Google.com, Yahoo.com, Hotmail.com and many others. They can be disposed of as easily as they are to create.

What is the “PNP Directory?”

Mission and purpose: Create a well managed, maintained and up-to-date personal information PNP Directory. The only PNP members listed are those who have trained in official classes, volunteered to fill a permissions form (The PNP Directory Application), and have provided their information for our civilian PNP database. This is our best PNP management and “grow tool,” because it allows members to communicate, associate, become friends and share ideas citywide! It helps to make all of us more professional in what we do. The Directory is the only civilian citywide PNP member database.

Because of self-imposed legalities, the Phoenix Police department is not allowed to share our personal information, but we civilians have created, manage, and publish, the PNP Directory and each of us have submitted a signed permission form the “Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol Directory Application” (see attached – is now updated to match new precinct boundaries. It also shows, and is sorted by Precinct, Squad area and Beat area (PSB), and shows the Community Action Officer (CAO) and their contact information for each.

The Directory contains about 50%+ of the total registered PNP members. To make it work well, and to be a complete and useful tool for all of us, we need the personal input and assistance from all PNP members. Reach out to those whom you know that are not listed, and suggest they too be part of this directory.

Download PNP Directory Application (click link below). The Directory is available to PNP members as a PDF download, and the link to the file is available to PNP members through our periodic mailings. If you or anyone you know have been through our PNP Training Class but are not on the mailing list, fill out this form and send it to us:

PDF Problem Resolved

  • If you open a PDF document and it shows as an older version, and you close the window or move it aside, then open the new doc, but it still shows as the olde one, you have discovered one of the tricks played by PDF Readers: If an older document with the exact same name is still open or available to open, the olde document will usually load first, and not allow the new document to open. A confusing and frustrating trick! To prevent this confusion, do this:
    •    Rename or put the olde document in the trash, then make sure no other PDF documents with the same name are open.
    •    Open the new document, in fact you may want to download the new document again.
    •    When the document opens, note the date in the lower right corner of the page  you should see this:
    ◦    Revised:(Revision Date & Time)

PNP Members Are Extraordinary!

The Directory identifies and “showcases” you as an exemplary member of your community as is shown in the Beat (see above). As a member of the Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol you are recognized as an educated police-trained civilian, a volunteer, a multiplier of our Phoenix PD patrol sworn officers. This directory illustrates community members who are special, important players who are community assets. You promote community outreach, and show that you care enough about yourself, your family, pets, property, neighborhood and community, to provide personal time and effort as the eyes and ears of patrolling officers.

This report is available to all levels of the Phoenix PD, including local officers you know and work with. That includes Phx PD chiefs, precinct commanders, lieutenants, city council members, the Phoenix Block Watch Advisory Board (PBWAB), Neighborhood Services Dept (NSD), and members of the Neighborhood Block Watch Oversight Committee (NBWOC), and of course to all participating PNP members citywide. Show this report to them ask if they receive this report… if not, tell them to contact me!

Reporting Your PNP Hours Online

Report PNP Hours

To your Precinct Coordinator tells us that you are there and that you are helping your neighborhood, while also giving recognition to you and PNP: Reporting your PNP hours gives you and Phoenix PD recognition: You are recognized as an invaluable asset as a crime deterring partner’s aid to your patrolling officers. Join the fun! Coordinator contact information is available from The Directory.

Those who patrol and report 50+ hours for the past year are also invited to the Annual PNP Award Banquet, where officers serve you great food, and you get to meet and personally chat with those who manage our city.

A patrol officer, including all costs: training, the officer’s pay, benefits, equipment costs, etc, are generally considered approximately $60+ per hour.

Phoenix City Council and Phoenix PD considers the volunteer time of a PNP member on patrol as a value of about $21 per hour. As noted, PNP’rs are the local eyes and ears of Phoenix PD. For every PNP hour reported, ~$21 is considered and reimbursed by City Council to Phoenix PD as volunteer hours. That is why they strongly advocate and  support PNP.

Who knows more about your neighborhood than you?

A patrol officer would recognize an obvious crime as it is happening in their presence, but in your personal observations, you would recognize even a slight nuance which to you is an anomaly that would alert you to an immediate 911 call. You are the best, the most qualified person for the job and you are appreciated for what you do! Hundreds, even thousands more like you are needed!

  • Share your pride: Suggest to your friends and neighbors that they train as PNP members.
  • Learn to be a protector of your neighborhood, for example: If you have serious concerns about a neighbor who may need help, but you prefer to not be involved, possibly endangering yourself, call 911! Explain the situation and request a “welfare check” at the address of concern. An example may be the home of elderly folks whom have not been seen for a while, perhaps there is a health or other welfare concern, or have a recently broken window and you fear a crime may be in progress in the home.
  • About the PNP Civilian Citywide Directory: These report sets represent the each of the precincts and a list of precinct coordinators, including those sworn PD members who have asked to be listed as interested in the PNP Directory. The end of each report shows a summary of the number of PNP members volunteering for that precinct. Information is sorted by precinct, then by last name, and first name.
  • Email contact information: An “X” in the email column shows that we have an email address for that member, and they receive The Directory, but their email is hidden from all other report readers (by not showing an email address, they will miss getting communications from other PNP members… maybe from you).
  • Blank email fields: We have no email address for that PNP member, so we’re not able to send this report, or easily communicate other PNP information. We strongly urge all PNP’rs to allow an email address to be visible to other PNP members. Consider using an easily available “disposable” email address as an alias from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or from GoogleMail.com, Yahoo.com, Hotmail.com or by creating an alias on your present Internet email provider account. They are free, are easily changed or disposed of if necessary and email can even be accessed free at local public computers such as a library.
    • We knew of a 101 year old lady who wanted email contact from her friends; She asked her daughter to create an email alias for her on the daughter’s email account; The daughter was then able to send and receive messages and print the email for her mother. Anyone can have a free email account, ts just a matter of being creative.
  • Definitions:
    • PNP Trainees: New PNP Members who usually have few or no patrolling hours of experience, and are in need of assistance, training, and help from experienced PNP members (mentors). New Trainees are marked as X in the “New” column of The Directory.
    • PNP Mentors: PNP Members with patrolling experience who volunteer and assist, help train, and work with the new trainees in their own neighborhood, especially those needing help during their first patrolling hours. They also assist by helping to answer questions.
    • Please help! When I teach, I find I often learn what I did not know I knew! – I love when that happens! Now that we are able to work with and share information with all PNP’rs, listed here, even in other precincts, we can take advantage of citywide training opportunities. Reach out, become acquainted, and get to know each other. PNP Mentors are marked as X in the “Mentors” column.
  • Getting your first observing hours and more: PNP policy has changed to better accommodate those who are in situations where it is difficult to get time with a mentor while touring your neighborhood. There is no longer a requirement for the first 25 hours to be dual time except for “dark hours”; PNP members may patrol alone during daylight hours within their own neighborhood.
  • Watch for events stating that you can earn extra hours by attending: For example: Coffee With Cops Special Events such as Continuing Education are highly recommended. Attend public events, and earn PNP hours while you enjoy the event as you share experiences with seasoned PNP’rs.
