assaults in 2021 to 105 last year. In response to this data, Maricopa Police Department Chief Mark Goodman released this statement to InMaricopa Aug. 16: “Unfortunately, an increase in attacks and assaults against law enforcement is a national trend. The FBI recently reported in May of 2024 that assaults on law enforcement hit a 10-year high in 2023. Over the past few years, societal changes have contributed to changing attitudes toward law enforcement which has contributed to the assault trend. Enhanced incident reporting through the implementation and use of NIBRS has also driven the numbers higher. Ways law enforcement agencies can prevent and mitigate assaults on officers is enhanced training in the areas of tactics, communication, de-escalation, critical incident response and decision making. Agencies can also decrease and prevent assaults on officers through building and maintaining trust with community members. Training is an integral part of our operations at MPD. Our officers regularly receive training that is critical in keeping them safe in the field. Our new police facility has great training facilities that provide a great environment for advanced training, and our in-house VIRTRA training simulator allows our people to regularly work on their tactics, de-escalation and decision-making skills. Also of great importance is our relationship with the community. MPD enjoys a high level of trust with those we serve, but we must always work diligently to continue to build and maintain that trust. MPD exists to serve the community, and it is our goal to be helpful and empathetic when addressing community issues. These are critical components in building trust. Modern policing regularly presents complicated equations, and many things we do are inter-related to one another. It is our hope that by finding the right combination of training, relationship building and service to the community we accomplish our public safety mission while simultaneously preventing violence.”
