Yes For Yuma Public Safety

Yes For Yuma Public Safety Together, your Yuma police officers and fire fighters handle more than 230,000 calls to the city’s emergency dispatch center annually

Together, your Yuma police officers and fire fighters handle more than 230,000 calls to the city’s emergency dispatch center annually – crimes in progress, fires, car crashes and child drownings, heart attacks and emergency rescues. That's 26 calls each and every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We get a call from the residents we serve every two minutes or so, all day, every day. We handle

your emergency calls with fewer than 300 sworn police officers and fire fighters. Together, the men and women on the frontlines of Yuma public safety serve more than 93,000 residents and 80,000 winter visitors spread out across 120 square miles. When it comes to public safety, every second counts. That’s why​ ​your police officers and fire fighters​ ​are​ ​asking you to vote Yes on Proposition 407. This measure guarantees your property taxes will remain stable until at least 2020.

Thank you.

Surge in calls to the office. More than 100 callers on hold. Wait times can exceed one hour. Expect delays, even with our callback feature.
Yesterday, PSPRS informed its members and retirees of excess contribution refunds due to some Tier 1 and 2 CORP members and some Tier 2 PSPRS members who work for or worked for 142 employers impacted by a retroactive lowering of contribution rates.
We're here for our members and retirees but many, many callers can spare themselves the wait by reading our excess contribution webpage that covers the who, what, when, why and how.

If passed the measure would not go into effect until January 1st, 2017.

“So what a great trade off for just cents on a 10 dollar purchase you can help keep yuma streets safe keep the fire department and police department well trained and still pay below the national average in sales tax.”

Yes on 407. Why? Because this is the fastest way for the City of Yuma to speed up 911 emergency response times and make sure we have the police officers and fire fighters we need to keep families safe.
