About Us

Here at Prescott eNews, we think there's a lot going on in the Prescott quad-city area. And, yes, we know that bad news happens, but we also know that a lot more good news happens. So, we intend to tell lots of good news, while not ignoring the bad news. 

Although there are some online news sites for the Prescott area, there aren't many that seem to take advantage of the medium of the internet. Here at Prescott eNews, we know the difference between putting a book or a newspaper online, and using the Internet to its full potential. And we think it's time that a quality news website makes its home in Prescott, Arizona.

How Old Are You?

Ssshhhh...! Don't tell anyone, but we launched our beta site in June, 2007. So, yeah, we're the new kid on the block. Well, at least for this particular site. But, our staff has been designing websites for nearly 10 years, and are also accomplished Photoshop digital artists, writers, photographers and design instructors. What all that means is that just because this particular site is new, it doesn't mean that we don't know what we're doing.

Please use the contact form to send all comments and suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you.

Yavapai TIPS hotline Reminder PDF Print E-mail
Written by Susan Quayle   
Friday, 14 September 2007
 

The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office "TIPS" hotline is up and running. The 24-hour anonymous vice/drug tip hotline is a means for citizens to provide the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office Special Crimes Section with information relating to illicit drug use and distribution, as well as other related crimes such as the illegal sale and abuse of pharmaceutical drugs.  Abuse of certain illicit prescription drugs and controlled substances, such as pain killers and performance enhancing steroids, has become an increasingly widespread problem in the USA, leading to dangerous abuse, addiction and sometimes fatalities.

The Special Crimes Section expects callers will provide leads that will help root out offenders and shut down their illegal operations.  When you call, you will be asked to provide pertinent information. You do not have to provide your name, address or telephone number. All information is kept strictly confidential within the Special Crimes Section. Information is cross-referenced; allowing detectives to determine if additional information related to the criminal activity about which you are calling has been reported in the past. Even "small" bits of information can at times provide detectives with the "missing link" that allows them to take action.

If you witness a drug crime - or any other crime - that requires immediate police response: Dial 911. A patrol unit will be dispatched to the area. Many times, undercover detectives will hear the dispatch and take direct action.

If you have information about drug use in an unincorporated area of the county, please call YCSO's T.I.P.S Hotline at (928) 777-7368, or toll free (800) 771-8477. You can also e-mail your information to: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
