I saw this article in the October 15 thru November 4, 2011 issue of the
San Tan Sun News
on page 8. It reads:
Police group needs volunteers
When misfortune strikes a Chandler police officer or
other department employee, it is often the public that offers help
through the Chandler Police Assistance Board (CPAB).
A nonprofile, CPAB seeks new members and host its next
meeting at 6:30 p.m., Tue, Nov. 1, at the Chandler Police Substation,
4040 E Chandler Heights Rd. in Chandler.
The organization is comprised of local citizens dedicated
to honoring and supporting the city's police officers,
department employees and their families in the event of
illness, injury or death.
For information, visit
www.cpab.org.
I suspect what the folks at the CPAB or Chandler Police Assistance Board
are doing is illegal.
Mainly because they are using the resources of the city of Chandler or
the resources of the Chandler Police Department for private purposes.
And according to this article the
CPAB or Chandler Police Assistance Board
is a PRIVATE entity, not a government entity.
But despite being a PRIVATE ENTITY,
they are being allowed to use the Chandler Police
station to hold their meetings and use it for a mailing address.
After I tried to visit their web site which is
www.cpab.org.
and doesn't work at this time. I googled on
CPAB or Chandler Police Assistance Board
and found out that they indeed are a PRIVATE entity,
not a government entity with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
The records for the
Arizona Corporation Commission say these folks
are the people who are doing this:

Is the CPAB or Chandler Police Assistance Board a
private entity or a government entity.
I suspect they want it both ways.
Probably so they can do things that government entities
and police departments can do.
And at the same time say they are a private entity that
doesn't have to obey the laws which government entities are
required to obey, such as public record laws.
According to this
information on
the
Chandler Police Web site
the
CPAB or Chandler Police Assistance Board
seems to be an arm of the Chandler Police Department
in addtion to being a private entity.
It appears that KATHLEEN SMART who is the Statutary Agent of the
CPAB or Chandler Police Assistance Board is also a member of the
Chandler Police Department according to this
web page
at the
city of Chandler.

Subject: request for public records and information on how to reserve meeting rooms at police station
I would like to reserve one of the meeting rooms at the
Chandler Police Substation
4040 E Chandler Heights Rd.
Chandler, AZ
Can you tell me how much the meeting rooms cost to rent?
The hours the meeting rooms are available for the public
to rent? And the requirements to rent one of the
meeting rooms for an hour or two?
The meeting will be held by a group of private citizens,
but the meeting will be open to the public to anyone that
wants to attend.
Our group is not a government group, but we would like
to rent one of the meeting rooms because the location
is a great place for our meetings.
This is a request for public records per the Arizona Public Records
laws which is Arizona Public Record Laws - A.R.S 39-121.
Thanks
