Volunteers needed to help motorists
Chandler Police Department’s “Volunteers in Policing Services” program is open to SanTan Sun area residents who are age 21 or older and interested in becoming Motorist Assist Volunteers. The volunteers respond to stranded motorists, accident scenes and other noncriminal calls for service. Volunteers can issue citations for parking violations, assist with vehicle lockouts and found property calls and perform neighborhood patrols. Those interested must complete a program, which runs for four consecutive weeks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings beginning Tue., March 22 and concluding Thu., April 14, with one Saturday class on April 2. After graduation, volunteers receive 50 hours of hands-on fi eld training.
Applicants must possess a valid Arizona driver’s license and be able to successfully complete a background investigation. All volunteers are asked to donate a minimum of 16 hours per month and to give at least a one-year commitment to the program.
The Chandler Police Department is located at 250 E. Chicago St. in Chandler. For more information, call Community Outreach Coordinator Melanie Slate at 480-782-4909 or visit

The City of Chandler’s HOA Academy launches four weekly classes held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays beginning March 23 at Chandler City Hall. The classes, offered by the City of Chandler’s Neighborhood Programs division partnered with the Mulcahy Law Firm of Phoenix, focus on helping HOAs improve their operations, overcome challenges and sustain vibrant, healthy neighborhoods. Mayor Jay Tibshraeny will open the Academy’s March 23 class, entitled “Effective Board of Directors and the Association – Done the Right Way!” Participants will learn about the structure of community associations and what boards should do to assure the association’s business is conducted in an effi cient and professional manner. Participants will also review the legal duties of a board of directors including roles and responsibilities, ethics and code of conduct.

nonprofi t agencies, churches and businesses can get behind to make a difference,” says Chandler Fire Chief Jeff Clark. “We need everyone to step up to make this happen. If we can get everyone to remember and follow our message, ‘Eye to Eye to Supervise,’ then our campaign will be successful.”
The Fire Department’s campaign is directed primarily at adults who bear the responsibility of securing their pools, teaching their children to swim and learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Chandler averages about fi ve drowning or near-
drowning calls each year. Within the last several weeks, fi ve pediatric drowning incidents have been reported, resulting in the death of at least one child. Three of the incidents were pool-related, one happened in a bathtub and one in a neighborhood lake. Those wishing to volunteer for the neighborhood walks on March 26 or individuals or groups who cannot participate but would like to help can call 480-782-2122.
