Arizona Edition Live

Show Number 34

Burglary, assault, drug offenses and fraud top the list of crimes committed in Yuma. On this episode of Arizona Edition Live, KAWC’s Lou Gum speaks with Lieutenant Scott Legros to talk about the types of crime committed in Yuma and who is committing them. 

We invited Lt. Legros because he was part of a September presentation to members of the Yuma County Chamber of Commerce, along with a colleague from the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office, on crime in our region. 

Lt. Legros provides insight into some of the challenges faced by the Yuma Police Department as it keeps Yuma streets safe.

Arizona Edition Live airs every Friday at 9:00 a.m. on KAWC 88.9 FM and KAWC.org. It rebroadcasts Saturday mornings at 11:00 a.m.
