Show Low Police Department

What Show Low Police Department does

The Show Low Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency of the City of Show Low, Arizona, operating as a public sector entity within Navajo County and under the parent City of Show Low government. The department provides core police protection services — patrol, criminal investigations, emergency response, and community policing — alongside supporting offerings including 24/7 dispatch coordination for police, fire, and EMS, animal control, fingerprinting services (Tuesdays and Thursdays 2-4pm), public records request processing, and a Business Emergency Contact registration program.

Its technology footprint is described as standard law enforcement IT infrastructure encompassing dispatch systems, records management, and public safety communications, with a single Public Safety IT Administrator on staff; no proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or commercial technology products are offered. Service delivery is anchored at one headquarters station at 411 East Deuce of Clubs in Show Low, with 24/7 emergency (911) and non-emergency dispatch lines.

The department serves approximately 11,732 permanent residents that swell to over 20,000 during seasonal tourism and second-home peaks. Its business model is non-commercial: it is funded through the City of Show Low's tax base (2% city sales tax, 3% bed tax, and franchise fees, with no property tax), supplemented by minor fee-generating services such as dog licensing ($5-$15 annually) and cemetery plot sales administered at the city level. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on direct engagement through Senior Patrol Property Watch, Ride-Along, social media (Facebook, YouTube/Show Low TV), and online portals rather than any competitive acquisition motion. The department also participates in multi-jurisdictional transit partnerships — operating the Four Seasons Connection and White Mountain Connection routes with ADOT, Navajo County, and neighboring towns since 1996 — for which it has received Arizona Transportation Authority/ADOT Excellence in Service Awards in 2011 and 2017.
