There is Nothing Quite so Up-To-Date as a Patrol Wagon. Who Wants the First Ride in It? Really, Phoenix is growing more Metropolitain every day. The motorcycle cop has come and now the city is to have a patrol wagon.
We have a full motorcycle squad in the Phoenix Police Department, under Sergeant Ernest A. Littlefield, who has formed one of the finest units in the West. The men are well trained in riot duty, using their motorcycles to form mobile wedges, diagonal, and a deployed line—methods which have proven very successful in moving and controlling large crowds. They form themselves into a regular drill team, which looks quite “snappy” with white uniforms and white machines.

It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a Phoenix Police Department Commander.
Commander Greg Carnicle was shot in the line of duty on Sunday March 29 on the scene of a domestic violence call. Two other officers were also shot during the incident at 40th Drive and Pinnacle Peak. The two officers are expected to recover.
Commander Carnicle was a 31-year veteran of the force, and was just months away from retiring. During his distinguished career, he held positions throughout the department including the special assignments unit, K9 and he most recently oversaw all evening and weekend patrol operations.
Rest In Peace Commander Carnicle.
