Meet the Prescott Police Officer

Prescott Police Officer David Thomason has been with the Prescott Police Department for three years. He said becoming an officer was something hed wanted to do for some time.

Im like to serve the community, Thomason said.

That service, according to Thomason, could include working on an investigation or just helping someone in need. He is an EMT and has worked on area ambulance services before becoming a full time officer for Prescott.
