The Phoenix-based nonprofit currently serves 13 law enforcement agencies across Arizona, helping police officers with crisis prevention.
PHOENIX – Not every 911 call ends in an arrest, and many times police officers find themselves wanting to help crime victims and others in need without official resources to do so.
Domestic violence victims are among those who benefit. Angels on Patrol has provided funds for a hotel for the night, a meal or even a train ticket for those who need immediate help getting to a safer location. Taylor said Angels on Patrol was able to step in and buy the victim a new pair of glasses with the correct prescription. “This case just resonated with me, because I wear glasses, and I can’t imagine if I didn’t have them for months or if they weren’t working right,” Taylor said.
“In about 2000, I went on an incident as a sergeant, and we received a call from some boys who were in cages,” MacConnell said, speaking at a September 2022 Phoenix City Council meeting. “Oftentimes, as an officer, you receive a call, and you think, ‘That is not what it will be like when I get there.’ Well, in this case it was.”
Only on-duty police officers can fill out an online request form. Forms take only minutes to fill in and are processed around the clock. If necessary, action can be taken without the form being fully approved so that officers have funds they need to provide emergency assistance to a victim.
