Important Follow-up Staff Training on CTI

Across all departments and initiatives, the City is committed to equipping employees with the tools and knowledge needed to deliver consistent and community-focused service As part of this effort, a second Community Transparency Initiative (CTI) training is now required for all staff. This new course familiarizes employees with the resources available should members of the public have concerns about federal immigration enforcement activity in Phoenix.

The training also helps reinforce our shared responsibilities, clarify procedures, and ensure employees are prepared if City services or facilities intersect with federal law enforcement.

Like the first video, this training applies to employees who are full-time, part-time, seasonal, or temporary workers employed by the City, including interns, contractors under City supervision, and volunteers.

Log in to PHX You and check the “Action Items” section or click the button to the right for direct access to the course. This training must be completed by July 31.
