Successful Rescue Operation on Verde River Demonstrates Interagency Cooperation
Cottonwood, AZ - June 23, 2024
Yesterday afternoon, the Cottonwood Police Department and the Verde Valley Fire Department joined forces for a successful rescue mission on the Verde River near the Bignotti river access, located within the Prescott National Forest and the Cottonwood City limits.
The incident began when YCSO requested assistance in locating a mother and her 8-year-old daughter who had become separated from their family while floating the river. The distressed mother had called 911 from her cell phone, reporting that they were stranded on a large rock and her phone battery was critically low.
Dispatchers at Cottonwood Police Department promptly gathered crucial location details and relayed them to responding officers, including Officer Schoemaker. Fortunately, Verde Valley Fire Department personnel, engaged in a training exercise nearby, were able to swiftly respond to the Bignotti area.
Sergeant Huibregtse and Officer Schoemaker coordinated efforts with the family and utilized information that the family had launched their excursion from Black Canyon Bignotti river access, becoming separated en route to Thousand Trails Bignotti river access. Officer Rafferty was directed to initiate search efforts from the Black Canyon Wash area, enhancing collaboration with fire department teams.
Approximately three-quarters of a mile upstream from the point of separation, Officer Schoemaker made contact with the fire department, who had successfully located the mother and daughter. In a commendable display of selflessness, Officer Schoemaker carried the young girl on his back in sweltering heat to a designated rally point, while a fireman and Sergeant Huibregtse assisted in escorting the mother safely back to reunite with her family along with their boat.
Despite experiencing minor injuries and dehydration, both the mother and daughter were in stable condition. The incident underscored the importance of seamless interagency cooperation and effective communication among emergency responders, including dispatchers, law enforcement, and fire personnel.
"I am proud of Officer Schoemaker and the entire team for their swift and decisive actions," stated Chief Dowell. "This operation exemplifies the dedication and professionalism of our department and our partners at Verde Valley Fire Department."
Attached to this release is a photograph capturing Officer Schoemaker's role in the successful rescue operation.
For further information, please contact the Cottonwood Police Department Public Information Office at [email protected].

🚨 Attention Prescott! 🚨
The summer temperatures are soaring and unfortunately so are our animal cruelty citations. The Prescott Police Animal Control wants to remind everyone about the dangers of leaving dogs in cars. Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked car can skyrocket within minutes, posing severe health risks to your furry friends.
Here’s why it’s not safe:
🌡️ Extreme Heat: In just 10 minutes, the temperature inside a car can rise by nearly 20 degrees. On a 90°F+ day, it can reach a deadly 110°F or more.
🐶 Heatstroke Risk: High temperatures can cause heatstroke, leading to organ failure or even death. Signs and symptoms include hard panting, red tongue, lack of coordination, collapsing on the floor, weakness or tremors, convulsions, and vomiting.
🚔 Legal Consequences: Even though it is not illegal to have your dog in the car, in this heat, it could be considered animal cruelty. You can face fines and legal action for endangering your pet's life.
Protect your pets: Leave them at home where it’s cool and safe. Leaving the windows cracked is still not enough to combat the rising heat.
If you see a dog in distress inside a car, please contact Prescott Police Animal Control immediately at 928-445-3131.
Of course, it is never the owner's intensions to put their dog(s) in harms way. So spread the word and help us keep our community’s pets safe this summer! 🐾❤️
Be smart. Be Safe.
As always, we will be here if you need us!
(June 20, 2024)--The Dedication of the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial on the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza will take place on Sunday, June 30, 2024 at 3:45 pm.
The City of Prescott and Prescott Fire Department will officially thank the committee that worked for over 10 years on the memorial statue which will forever honor our fallen heroes. There will be comments by Mayor Phil Goode, Yavapai County Board of Supervisors Chairman Craig Brown, John Marsh, the artist Deborah Fellows and a keynote by Prescott Fire Chief Holger Durre.
Following the ceremony, Yavapai County Courthouse bells will ring 19 times at 4:42 p.m. in honor of the fallen heroes. The commemoration will take place at the memorial site, on Cortez between Union and Goodwin.
This event will be live-streamed on City Social Media and also on KYCA.info. We encourage you to join us either in-person or online for this special occasion.
That’s me on the right.
