These messages are NOT from the U.S. Postal Service.

⚠️ Red Flags:
• Urgent demands for immediate action
• Suspicious links
• Requests for personal information or signatures

✅ Protect Yourself:
• Do not click unknown links
• Never provide personal or financial information through text messages

As the current lead agency for the Arizona Child Abduction Response Team (AZCART), the Paradise Valley Police Department recently hosted a valley-wide, realistic scenario-based training designed to strengthen and refine coordinated response efforts during missing and endangered child investigations.

AZCART is a statewide, multi-agency rapid response team composed of specialized law enforcement personnel and partner agencies who are trained to respond immediately to child abduction and high-risk missing child cases.

This training emphasized the meticulous, detail-driven nature of these investigations and the intense, methodical work responding units must carry out—from rapid information gathering and suspect and vehicle tracking, to digital and physical evidence analysis and coordinated field operations. Participants and role players worked through realistic, high-pressure scenarios that mirrored the urgency and complexity of real-life cases. The exercise highlighted the extraordinary level of precision, communication, and collaboration required to safely locate and recover a missing child, and reinforced the importance of every role within a unified response effort.

The Chief was away from his office, so naturally we filled it with backup Chiefs for supervision purposes!

Media Release: Arrest of Package Theft Suspect Case Update #2026-16767, 16770, 17066.

Several residents recently reported to the Paradise Valley Police Department that on 5/11/2026, they were the victim of package thefts. All of the victims had very good video surveillance footage of the incidents which linked them all to the same female suspect. The video evidence depicted the suspect arriving with what was later determined to be an empty box (presumably from a prior theft) and switching them out with recently delivered packages. Patrol officers conducted a thorough preliminary investigation which developed a suspect identified as Brieanna Clark. On 5/14/2026, detectives from the Criminal Investigations Unit conducted
additional follow up and arrested Clark in the 2700 block of E Mountain View in Phoenix, AZ. A search warrant was also executed at which time detectives were able to recover jewelry and other items that were reported as stolen. Clark was transported to the Maricopa County Jail where she was booked on felony theft charges.

If you have had contact with this individual and believe you may also be a victim, please contact the Criminal Investigations Unit at 480-948-7418.

Remember to always close your garage when not in use, lock your doors and set your alarm. Motion and glass break sensors are an extremely important part of any alarm system.
