Welcome to the virtual home of the Show Low Police Department. We are thrilled that you are taking a moment out of your day to visit our web page. We hope you find it informative, educational, timely, and easy to use.

 

During your online visit, it is my hope as Chief that you are able to get a sense of the excellent professionalism and dedication exhibited by our staff on a daily basis. We are committed to providing a safe and friendly environment for everyone who lives in or visits our community.

 

Here in the City of Show Low, we practice a unique blend of “community-oriented” policing mixed with “tourism-oriented” policing. What does that mean? It means that we regularly partner with members of our community to solve problems and improve the quality of life for our citizens. It also means that we recognize that a large part of our “community” consists of people who are not year-round residents in the White Mountains. I believe we must pay special attention to the needs of those who come to the mountains in the summer to escape the heat and those who come here in the winter to enjoy the snow and other amenities. Creating a safe and enjoyable vacation experience for everyone is the challenge inherent in our “tourism-oriented” policing.  Hopefully you will agree that we are successful in this area and will return to our community year after year to appreciate the beauty of the White Mountains and the City of Show Low.

 

Thank you for visiting our site and please let me know if there is anything that the Show Low Police Department can do better to serve your needs. I can be contacted by email at jsmythe@showlowaz.gov or by telephone at (928) 537-0884.

 

Sincerely,

 

J. Jeffrey Smythe
