Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Grant Awards FY 24

Posted on by

FLAGSTAFF – The Flagstaff Police Department is pleased to inform the public we received grant funding in fiscal year 2024 from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) to support saturation patrols for impaired drivers and for underage alcohol consumption violations. In addition, we received grant funding toward the purchase of software programs to assist the Flagstaff Police Department’s Collision Reconstruction Team with scene documentation. This software will assist in providing to scale measurements and making precise scene overlays for accident scenes as well as photogrammetry software that will generate survey grade 2D maps and 3D models from ground or aerial images captured by our Skydio drones. These software programs will cut down on the time spent on scene and the time the City of Flagstaff roadways need to be closed for accident investigations.

For additional information, please contact the Flagstaff Police Department at (928) 774-1414.

Arizona receives D+ in government integrity

Posted on by

According to the State Integrity Investigation web site, Arizona received a D+ in integrity ranking 30th amongst the fifty States. Arizona has a 68% corruption risk. Georgia has the lowest corruption risk at 59%

Poll consistantly rank integrity among the most important virtues in a politician. “But leaders in many states fall short of citizens’ expectations. In Massachusetts, the last three house speakers were convicted on corruption. In Illinois, four ofthe last nine governors have gone to prison. Scandals have shaken more than half the nation’s statehouses in the past decade,” thier web site states.

The State Integrity Investigation is a $1.5 million public collaboration designed to expose practices that undermine trust in state capitols — and spotlight the states that are doing things right.

The site considers many areas they consider important and generate a report card. Arizona received an F in State Civil Service Management, State Pension Fund Management, State Insurance Commissions, Lobbying Disclosure and Ethics Enforcement Agencies. Arizona received an A in Redistricting which is open to debate for many Arizonans.
