They are asking residents to make sure to celebrate responsibly and have a sober ride home from the Phoenix Open and Super Bowl celebrations.

Just hours before the Feb. 11 shooting in south Phoenix and other police shootings in New Mexico and Maryland yesterday, the Queen Creek Raising Cane's dropped off dinner for the entire Queen Creek Police Department (police officers and support staff) on Thursday night.

"I created (Supporting the Thin Blue Line) basically to support all Arizona police organizations," Amanda Howard said. "We show support to them and get our resources out to let them know what groups and resources are available to them and give them items they can take on patrol."

"Our goal is to make drivers safe, whether they're residents or just driving through town," Queen Creek Police Chief Randy Brice said. "That's why our Drive to Arrive campaign has been our focus to begin with. Traffic has been of the most concern to residents and this campaign focuses on keeping people safe on the roads."

"We had a steady crowd, at least 800 to 900 residents come out to meet with us. It was a good event," said Police Chief Randy Brice.

"For us, this is a historic moment," Police Chief Randy Brice said at a noon press conference. "We're having a really good first 12 hours."

The Queen Creek Police Department launched at midnight today, Jan. 11, 2022.

“We are thankful for MCSO’s support and service,” said Queen Creek Mayor Gail Barney. “We have gotten to know and love our District 6 deputies over the years. They are fantastic individuals and have served with heart, dignity and respect.”
