Community groups speak out against shootings involving Phoenix police officers

PHOENIX — Several community advocacy groups are scheduled to hold a press conference ahead of Wednesday’s Phoenix City Council meeting to talk about the nearly dozen police shootings since Chief Matt Giordano took over the department less than two months ago.

Chief Giordano was sworn in at the end of August, but his first official day with the department was August 11, 2025. Since then, Phoenix PD’s officers have been involved in 10 shootings, with more than half of them resulting in deaths.
