Quick PSA: this week, Cienega will be hosting a multi-agency first responders training on our campus. We will have first responders from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, Rincon Valley Fire Department, Search and Rescue, and the Arizona Department of Corrections conducting training on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
As a result, there will be a law enforcement presence on our campus those days. You may notice an increase of law enforcement vehicles in our parking lot or hear noises coming from our campus as these agencies conduct training exercises. We wanted to let you know that this is the result of planned training and not any sort of real emergency at Cienega. We are proud to provide a space for our first responders to train.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out the Rincon Valley Fire Department at 520-647-3760.
