Valley Schools
The school year is back in session and the Prescott Valley PD had their first "Cops and Kids" event at Mountain View Elementary. These events give our officers the chance to have lunch with students and connect with our community's young citizens. This successful program is in its fifth year and has become a favorite event for PVPD officers and professional staff!

Details on these, and other community survey highlights, were shared at a study session on August 1. The study session and full community survey results are on our website.
