Underage Drinking - Public Announcement
The Kingman Police Department has teamed up with Arizona Youth Partnership
and the Coalition for Successful Youth Development. The purpose of this partnership is to bring awareness to
underage drinking in Kingman and the harmful effects it has on our youth. The Kingman Police Department has “zero
tolerance” towards underage drinking and to those who provide or otherwise facilitate underage drinking.
Recently, during the weekend of April 3rd, the police department
responded to a disturbance at a local residence and ended up arresting 23 underage drinkers for assorted charges, to
include; Minor Consumption, DUI and Criminal Damage. Juveniles charged were released to parents, while adults were
charged and faced being booked into jail.
Arriving with the spring season is high school proms and
graduations. The Kingman Police Department would like to remind parents to discuss with their kids, the hazards of
drinking alcohol. Not only is it harmful physically, but it is also has criminal consequences.
Anyone can report underage drinking to the Kingman Police Department
by calling 753-2191 or report anonymously to Mohave Silent Witness by calling 753-1234.
The Coalition for Successful Youth Development is hosting the 5th
Annual Underage Drinking Town Hall on Thursday, April 17, from 5:00pm – 7:00pm, at the Hampton Inn, 1791 Sycamore
Ave. Keynote speaker will be Kingman Police Chief Robert DeVries. To receive more information please call the

Computer Scam Virus
There is a computer virus going around that was brought to my attention by one of our Citizen
Volunteers. This individual received an e-mail advising that DHL ( or they may use UPS or FED EX) attempted to deliver a package at his
residence, but there was an error with his address. It advises you to pick up the package at the post office, but first you must print
out the shipping label that is attached to the e-mail, and bring the label to the post office to pick up your package. When you hit
print it loads a virus onto your computer. DON’T PRINT THE LABEL.
Sign Code Ordinance
The City of Kingman of Kingman Sign Code Ordinance
has changed and is available on the City Website. If you
go to the City website, then go to Code and Ordinances,
and click on Sign Ordinance (New). This document is in
PDF format and is printable from your personal computer.
We encourage all of the City Businesses to view the Sign
Ordinance, so that we at the Kingman Police Department
can gain Voluntary compliance.
TRACView Crash Report System
The Kingman Police Department has entered into an
agreement with DOCVIEW, LLC to place traffic Crash
reports on-line. TRACView is an Internet based
application that was developed to help Law Enforcement
Agencies and Insurance Companies manage and access
traffic crash reports in a more timely and efficient
manner. This will be accessed on line and the customer
or Insurance Agency will need a report number and date
to access the report, that they are requesting. You can
go to the City Website, the Police Department Website,
then you will go to Police Department report request, or
you can obtain the same information from
tracview.com. The report will cost $10.00 and
Insurance Companies can set up an account, to be billed
monthly. You will still be able to get your Crash
reports at the Kingman Police Department also.
