SOMERTON GENERAL INFORMATION

3 MAKING SOMERTON THE BEST LITTLE CITY IN ARIZONA

CITY OF SOMERTON

Somerton is located in the fertile Yuma Valley in southwestern Yuma County, about 12 miles south of Yuma and at an elevation of 103 feet, approximately 12 miles from the U.S./Mexican border and 180 miles east of San Diego, California. The City is located on both sides of U.S. Highway 95 (Main Street) and Somerton Avenue runs north and south through the city. The area is bounded by Cocopah Indian Reservations (East and West). Somerton was established in 1898 and incorporated in 1918 and its population has doubled during the last ten years now reaching 15,500. Somerton has a long history of overcoming physical and economic adversity.

Early settlers had to prevail over the Colorado River floods in order to realize the tremendous potential of the area’s agricultural lands. This potential was the driving force for the establishment of the Somerton school district in 1902, and the paving of Main Street in 1917. The downtown business district survived a huge fire in 1926 and was able to continue to be a major economic influence in Yuma County until the early 1960s.

Somerton with a rich heritage and culture has a downtown redevelopment plan that offers a package of incentives for businesses that locate in the downtown area or existing ones that need to upgrade their premises.

The city’s location, between two major population areas, connected through US 95, Yuma to the north and San Luis, AZ and San Luis R.C., Mexico, to the south, makes Somerton an ideal location for special events and entertainment venues.

SOMERTON MUNICIPAL COURT FINES REDUCTION PILOT PROGRAM

A fines reduction program which our Somerton Court help to develop was adopted by the Arizona Supreme Court as a “Pilot Program” as a possible model for the rest of the State. As a result of the implementation of this program people with unpaid, or balance-due traffic tickets were given the “one-time” opportunity to clear their driving record through this fine reduction program. We received approval from the Arizona Supreme Court to reduce certain qualified fines, penalties, and surcharges. Because of this program, many individuals who were previously driving with suspended driver’s licenses had the opportunity to pay off their fines, and obtain their privileges to drive legally again.

In the spirit of Arizona Supreme Court Justice Scott Bales’ newly developed program, “Fair Justice for All”, our court has further cemented our working relationship with a local behavioral health service agency.

Family Behavioral Integrated Services is a local agency which provides a full range of behavioral services such

23 MAKING SOMERTON THE BEST LITTLE CITY IN ARIZONA

as: Substance Abuse Screening; Substance Abuse Treatment; DUI screening, education, and treatment; Domestic Violence treatment education, and counseling; and Anger Management. Justice Bales has asked Arizona courts to consider alternatives to incarcerations, or to further strengthen our present programs which we already offered.

F.B.I.S and the Somerton Municipal Court have agreed to further develop our efforts to listen to our local community, and initiate, and promote the behavioral services being demanded. For more information please contact our court, or the local offices of Family Behavioral Integrated Services.

Somerton Municipal Court house.

The Somerton Municipal Court will soon have a fully paved, and developed parking lot for our customers.

The empty, undeveloped lot directly behind the court building has long been used as a parking location, not just for court business, but for other City events. Thanks to the assistance, and guidance from Mr. Samuel Palacios, the city’s Public Works Director, customers, and special event attendees will now have a fully paved parking lot for their convenience. The entire parking lot will be open to the public. But please be advised that absolutely no overnight parking will be allowed.

POLICE DEPARTMENT

The Somerton Police Department is a progressive department that continues to grow to better serve the Somerton community. Currently our department consists of 22 police officers, 7 full-time dispatchers, 1 administrative assistant, 1 full-time records manager and 1 part-time records clerk.

The 9-1-1 Communications Division is responsible for answering 911 calls for service for the City of Somerton and the East and West Cocopah Reservations. This division dispatches emergency and nonemergency calls for service 24/7 and is always available to serve the public with integrity and respect. Additionally, this division continues to build close partnerships with all local public safety agencies. This ensures backup assistance when needed and it strengthens our mutual aid agreements.

We have a robust communications radio system that allows this division to communicate with these agencies at a click of a button. This is extremely beneficial during emergency multi-jurisdictional incidents for both the Somerton Police Department and Somerton/Cocopah Fire Department.

The Somerton Police Department has an Explorer Program that has grown from 6 to 14 members within

the last year. This Explorer Post is guided by Officer Higuera and Officer Evans.

The group meets twice a week and one day is dedicated to classroom law enforcement education and the other for physical training. The members of

this program also do ride-longs with the police officers.

The Explorer Post has fundraisers throughout the year for the purchase of new equipment. This group also assists with traffic control and foot patrol during special events in our community. The members have also volunteered in various community service projects such as Amberly’s Place Christmas Gift Giveaway in Somerton, AZ.

The Somerton Police Department has actively supported the Special Olympics Program for the past three years. There are various fundraisers throughout the year within our department. The proceeds all go to this wonderful organization. Also, once a year in the month of May, our agency participates in the Special Olympics torch run. All local law enforcement agencies participate during this event.

In 2017 the Somerton Police Department had its first Coffee with a Cop event in Somerton, AZ. This was a great success and we look forward to more. This event allowed for local citizens to speak to members of the Somerton Police Department in a comfortable setting while they enjoyed a cup of coffee and pastry.

follow-up, and contribute to treatment of chronic conditions and community health monitoring.

The Somerton Cocopah Fire Department is now in its second year of providing Community Based Paramedic Home Patient Visits. This new EMS service delivery model is being developed from existing health care resources and will be integrated with other health care providers and public health and public safety agencies. It has already proven that it is improving community health and resulting in more appropriate use of acute health care resources. EMS will remain the public’s emergency medical safety net.

In short, the future will involve utilizing our Paramedics, and possibly in the not too distant future, Registered Nurses and/or Physicians Assistants in our Ambulances as an extension of a partnership with the local hospital or clinics. Just as in the past many nay-sayers couldn’t see why we not only needed but deserved ambulance; so to in the future, people will recognize that the Somerton Cocopah Fire Department was – once again - on the cutting edge in Yuma County in providing Community Based Paramedicine.

OUR EMS FUTURE: COMMUNITY BASED PARAMEDICINE:

Although the community-based health management model is called various things in different jurisdictions we are calling it “Community Based Paramedicine.” Community Based Paramedicine will have the ability to identify and modify illness and injury risks, provide acute illness and injury care and

Grow our Community Paramedicine program to include more chronically ill patients.
