M.L “Andy” Anderson, Retired Assistant Police Chief:
Murray "Andy" Anderson, concluded a 37-year career as an Assistant Police Chief with the Phoenix Police Department. Throughout his tenure, Anderson held many integral positions, including overseeing media relations, public affairs, community relations, basic and advanced training at the Academy, as well as serving as an undercover narcotics officer and, ultimately, as Chief of Investigations. He also served as Chief of the Professional Standards Bureau and the Patrol Division. Academically, Anderson obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix and earned certification as a Public Manager from Arizona State University. His commitment to professional development was further exemplified by his graduation from Class 183 of the FBI National Academy. Following his retirement, Anderson founded Police Advisory Services, LLC, leveraging his extensive expertise to provide consultancy services in police practices. In addition, his appointment to the Arizona State Lottery Board of Directors by Governor Brewer from 2013-2018 underscores his significant contributions beyond the realm of law enforcement. Furthermore, Anderson's involvement as a liaison with Off Duty Management, a nationwide company facilitating off-duty work for police agencies, speaks to his ongoing dedication to enhancing the professionalism and safety of law enforcement officers. Notably, Andy Anderson's personal life is equally fulfilling, as he is married to Marilyn and has four children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.


Jack Harris:
I have thirty-nine years of law enforcement experience with the City of Phoenix Police Department in Phoenix, Arizona.  During those thirty-nine years, I served as a Police Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Commander, Assistant Police Chief, Police Chief, Public Safety Manager and Deputy City Manager.  In those ranks I was assigned to at least seventeen different assignments that included, but are not limited to, patrol, undercover assignments in vice and narcotics, training, traffic, SWAT, internal affairs as well as a number of administrative assignments.  Throughout my career I conducted formal employee investigations involving employee conduct.  While assigned to the Professional Standards Bureau I was responsible for approximately one thousand (1,000) of the most serious employee conduct and officer involved shooting investigations in the department.  As Police Chief I had responsibility for imposing discipline for misconduct involving approximately five thousand employees.  I conservatively estimate that I have personally investigated or reviewed over three thousand (3,000) personnel investigations.   I taught various subjects for over ten (10) years at the police training academy and served for over two years as the Basic Training Sergeant.  I also taught tactics at the local, state, national and international level.  I have been intimately involved in the formation and implementation of police policy for police agencies at all levels of law enforcement for four decades.  There exists a body of knowledge regarding best practices and standards of care for law enforcement officers throughout the nation.  Through my vast law enforcement experience, professional memberships and training I am generally familiar with accepted policies, training, procedures, and standards of care that govern police officer conduct.   I have been recognized as a police policy and procedures expert in United States Federal Court and Arizona State Court.  I have conducted policy and procedures reviews for numerous police agencies at the request of the United States Department of Justice.

We can't wait to see you at the meeting!
