VIDEO: Tucson Fire Department and Tucson Police Department has received over $13 million from the passing of PROP. 101. In May, Tucson city voters decided to approve raising taxes to resurface city streets and replace Tucson police and fire departments' aging fleets and equipment. The half-cent sales tax increase went into effect July 1 and has raised $13.5 million, so far. Thanks to these funds, TPD and TFD have both received new equipment, including 500 body cameras for police and 98 turnouts for firefighters. With the most recent shipment of new gear being 62 cardiac monitors.
