Sometimes those who protect the public need a helping hand from those they serve.
That was the case on Dec. 20 of last year when officers from the Sedona Police Department were involved in the department’s second officer-involved shooting of the year.
On that day, SPD responded to the Sedona Airport regarding three suspects that had entered the secured air operations portion of the facility and then stole an airport truck.
