Public Safety Equipment and Technology Enhancements
The city is upgrading its emergency response capabilities by applying for UASI grants to purchase a new HazMat truck and seven drones, increasing contract limits for firefighting equipment, and contracting for a police drone-as-first-responder program.
Emergency Declaration
Buckeye declared a local emergency and shut down city facilities to help slow the spread of COVID-19, which means you'll need to check online before heading to public buildings. Expect some temporary disruptions to everyday municipal services as the city shifts operations to protect public health.
