Dear Chief Garrity,
The Sierra Vista Police Department is in the process of establishing a dedicated Traffic Unit to enhance
roadway safety and address the growing number of traffic-related collisions within our community. Over
the past year, we have seen a notable increase in collisions, particularly within high-volume intersections
where enforcement and visibility are most challenging when operating from a patrol vehicle.
Motorcycle enforcement provides officers with the agility and mobility necessary to effectively monitor
these problem areas, conduct proactive enforcement, and reduce collision rates through increased
visibility and deterrence. Unfortunately, due to current budget limitations, we do not have the funding
available to purchase a police motorcycle, and our existing motorcycle is outdated, with operability
concerns that raise safety issues for our officers.
In light of this, we understand that the Yuma Police Department may be rotating out a 2015 Harley-
Davidson motorcycle. We respectfully request your consideration in donating this motorcycle to assist
our department in launching our new Traffic Unit. This contribution would allow us to deploy a trained
motor officer much sooner than anticipated, providing an immediate and measurable impact on roadway
safety within Sierra Vista.
Your department’s generosity would not only strengthen our enforcement capabilities but also exemplify
the spirit of partnership and mutual support that defines Arizona law enforcement agencies. Should the
Yuma Police Department be able to assist, we are committed to ensuring the motorcycle continues to
serve the mission of public safety and reflect the professionalism and cooperation shared between our
agencies.
Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration of this request. Please extend my sincere
appreciation to your command staff for their continued support and commitment to strengthening law
enforcement partnerships throughout the state.
Respectf
y
