The former president and first lady read “Where the Wild Things Are” to students from William H. Ray Elementary School. The Obamas opted to build a public library at the presidential center, instead of a traditional National Archives research center.

Take a look at the 454 queries conducted by Chandler PD in January.

An external audit log for the same one-month period in January 2026 shows every time outside police agencies searched Chandler's Flock data through automatic data sharing. That log included nearly 40,000 entries and was more than 500 pages long.

The next Mesa City Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 8, 2026, with the Study Session starting at 5:15 p.m. and the main Council Meeting following at 5:45 p.m.

Location: Mesa City Hall, Upper Level Council Chambers, 20 E. Main St., Mesa, AZ 85201

Upcoming Topics: Include rezoning for a massive data center in southeast Mesa, and various administrative, electricity, and telecommunications items.

Since that meeting, 5 cameras have been taken down in and around the Galveston neighborhood.

"I think that shows that that was the result of the public opposition and just the public pressure that we put on the city council,” Taylortaft said.

These are the locations where the 5 cameras were taken down.

Galveston St. & Hamilton St.
Galveston St & Arizona Ave. 

Hamilton St. & Ray Rd. 

Hamilton St. & Chandler Blvd. 

Galveston St. & McQueen Rd. 

The city says they've been planning to take down the cameras for months, but just got the permits approved in February. Those

cameras are now in the queue for relocation.

My question is if they were supposed to be removed in February, why it took so long to have them removed???

Arizona heat makes a vehicle interior deadly within minutes. A car can reach 130 to 150 degrees even when the outside temperature is around 100 to 105. The Chandler case linked here involved a car that reached 132 degrees inside. Thankfully, the dog is OK and the owner was charged with animal cruelty.

What to do if you see a child or pet alone in a hot car:

---

1. Check for immediate danger

Look through the windows for any of the following:

• Child or pet not moving
• Heavy panting, drooling, vomiting
• Lethargic or unresponsive
• Collapse or signs of heatstroke

If any of these are present, treat the situation as life threatening.

---

2. Call 911 immediately

Provide:

• Exact location
• Vehicle description
• Condition of the child or pet

Arizona dispatch treats these calls as priority emergencies.

---

3. Try to locate the driver, but do not delay rescue

You can ask nearby businesses to page the vehicle owner.
Stay with the vehicle and keep eyes on the child or pet.

Arizona Good Samaritan Law: You are legally allowed to break the window

Arizona law protects you from civil liability if all of the following are true:

• You reasonably believe the child or pet is in imminent danger
• The vehicle is locked and you cannot otherwise get them out
• You call 911 before entering the vehicle
• You use only the amount of force necessary
• You remain at the scene until police arrive

This law exists because heatstroke can begin within minutes.

---

4. If you must break the window

• Choose the window farthest from the child or pet
• Use a pointed object such as a metal tool, tire iron, or rock
• Strike the corner of the window, not the center
• Clear broken glass before reaching inside

---

5. After removing the child or pet

Move them to shade or air conditioning and begin active cooling.

For children or adults:

• Offer cool water if they are fully conscious
• Apply cool wet cloths to the neck, armpits, and groin
• Do not use ice directly
• If vomiting, place them on their side
• Stay with them until emergency responders arrive

For pets:

• Look for signs of heatstroke such as bright red gums, wobbling, collapse
• Apply cool water to paws, belly, and ears
• Offer small amounts of cool water if the pet is alert

These charges are common in Arizona due to the extreme heat risk.
