Daniels used KWCD’s First Watch to urge drivers to prepare for monsoon hazards and to comply with vehicle display rules. He said mud flaps help divert water and improve safety in heavy rain and noted Arizona law requires mud flaps for lifted three‑quarter‑ton pickups and larger commercial vehicles.
\"The number of reasons is to divert water so it doesn't go into your windshield. That's the number 1 reason,\" Daniels said, describing the safety case for mud flaps. He added that enforcement of commercial vehicle equipment violations can be a federal offense under federal regulations.
Daniels also warned drivers to keep temporary paper registration and metal license plates legible and displayed in their designated spots. He described traffic stops where paper plates were not visible and advised motorists to replace faded tags promptly. \"You have to have a legible plate,\" he said.
The sheriff praised county road and fleet staff for monsoon preparations and urged residents to heed posted road closures and avoid driving through floodwater. Officials recommended securing vehicles and clearing yards to reduce hazards during seasonal storms.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","20250801 First Watch","oneSentenceSummary","Officials reminded Cochise County drivers that monsoon rains raise hazards and that state vehicle rules require mud flaps for certain lifted pickups; they also advised keeping temporary and metal plates legible to avoid stops and to aid recovery of stolen vehicles.","taxTitle","Cochise County, Arizona","taxId",27859,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6147047,"University of Arizona extension’s Curious Quails offers free nature events for Cochise County children",118,1732000,1850000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5522864-226dee39c440b37c23daa148ae552c4d&start=1732&end=1850","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5522864-226dee39c440b37c23daa148ae552c4d/thumbnail_1732000.jpg","/articles/6147047/Cochise-County/Arizona/University-of-Arizona-extensions-Curious-Quails-offers-free-nature-events-for-Cochise-County-children","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147047-591356577320779bfc4a49b5ab72d1a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155246&Signature=VYUY2GSlD~zHz83LlxTxQDT7TVN3yPa9SJnJ2plo4YqL4EjMkPUZI47JRtbV1NnKhP-UFqdb5t1uwzBBz2mrNLhqVzE0krDIGwQR7tb5P3mAnSKOmfxo03TzyCw0fn5qF-BttiQpiZhU8ii~ftOGlFEawwHQSwOwazshek0-VXmgwjGpvI~pyuM2of3zOFBINVjrqYiW6kFcSANIPwi4AGhU0uwKWu5XMBNRqYU4o2GlvaHWePARDLelwiUi1CVvi1QvS9Cq80sdMrpArExp3TevKsjwRyhxfZnTxIBMTn~IAAn4SvTPzIs~Vm6YWkJIi8qaqLz0uE79RKH5UY81SQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jacob Salcedo, a University of Arizona Cooperative Extension educator with the AZ Health Zone SNAP‑Ed team, described the Curious Quails Youth Nature program on KWCD. The program marked its first anniversary in July and delivers free, family‑friendly nature events across Cochise County.
Salcedo said events feature activity stations, community walks, sensory and craft stations and partner booths from local organizations. “When they show up, first we will greet them at our sign in table … they get to spend probably about 30, 40 minutes just walking around, checking out all the tables, all of the activity stations,” he said.
The next event is scheduled at the Palominas Multi‑Use Trail behind Palominas Elementary School from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. a week from the broadcast. Salcedo also said there will be a September event at the William’s House in Douglas and asked community groups interested in taking over the program to contact the extension via social media or his email, jakes7@arizona.edu.
Salcedo encouraged families to join but noted the walk is optional and some activities are loosely structured to suit young children’s interests. The extension said it lost AZ Health Zone SNAP‑Ed funding for the program and seeks partners to continue offering events.","Jacob Salcedo of the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension described the Curious Quails Youth Nature program, a free community series with nature walks, activities and partner organizations; organizers seek community partners to continue the program after SNAP‑Ed funding ended.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6147051,"Law enforcement credits interagency coordination after armed home invasion arrests",69,871000,940000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5522864-226dee39c440b37c23daa148ae552c4d&start=871&end=940","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5522864-226dee39c440b37c23daa148ae552c4d/thumbnail_871000.jpg","/articles/6147051/Cochise-County/Arizona/Law-enforcement-credits-interagency-coordination-after-armed-home-invasion-arrests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147051-1a558faf6c024574b16e749b32c715ef/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155246&Signature=GSK-9jGbz1yOKwSaqWJZBSZI0q~vMVAMEB01T5W1d~s1YRmn5ZYxPDgkI34mJ5~Yr~1XYNQoUjfWVfrs59LMZap5p5dtW94Osq49VYSVE5NU1vHQ0xDUIOmLjkS7gpsTe4IMTSO1JkWTBSX7S5EOpl-4pDepuiDhWFP64z0norKHb8iPxA0CorsZhfZC5EFP9uO8K62ITrpN3kSY0yA57lEdkYsxCQ4LkY-uJO3J5l~ipLPlnfln4HOHf8Ci2XxLEFqhFFi1b6d~BFYB4zK2mGl7uH2~yEMhYvJjLiT~3GUsuQNnaj-3~9eXdF5Q06RcgOdd52Qf4nj3IY0UX649uA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sheriff Mark J. Daniels described an armed home invasion during a KWCD interview and credited coordinated work by deputies, the Arizona Department of Public Safety and Sierra Vista police for quickly identifying and arresting two suspects. “They were able to identify this suspect and the male suspect, at Westwood Village Apartments,” Daniels said, adding that both people were taken into custody.
Daniels said the suspects allegedly forced an occupant into a bathroom during the incident, demanded money and caused property damage; investigators executed additional search warrants and recovered evidence. “They're only charged with armed robbery, but additional charges are pending,” he said.
The sheriff praised interagency cooperation and the local major crime team’s response; he also said he met with the county attorney to ensure prosecutors will pursue violent offenders. “We're working hand in hand to ensure that if you're gonna commit violent acts … we're gonna hold you accountable,” Daniels said.
Officials reminded residents about the legal right to defend oneself in the home under Arizona’s castle doctrine but cautioned against using excessive force. The sheriff framed the arrests as an example of local agencies sharing jurisdictional resources to solve violent crimes and urged public confidence in the criminal-justice response.","Sheriff Mark J.

Daniels said the Cochise County Sheriff's Office cannot post booking photos of pre‑trial defendants because of federal case law, and that releasing them could expose the county to lawsuits. “Innocent to proven guilty is pretty much the thought behind that,” Daniels said.
Carol Campos, the sheriff’s public information officer, named the specific case discussed on air as Houston v. Maricopa County and described the legal principle in simple terms: photographs of pre‑adjudicated defendants are treated differently because courts have found release can harm due‑process rights. “It's pre adjudicated defendants just like you said. Innocent until actually convicted proven guilty,” Campos said.
Campos and Daniels said the department still posts other public safety information — for example details about arrested suspects when permitted — but that release of booking photos must comply with court rulings and legal counsel. “We have to make sure that we're staying in our lane and doing what we need to do in the letter of the law,” Campos said.
The sheriff emphasized county fiscal prudence as a factor: he called potential litigation “a taxpayer cost” the office seeks to avoid. He said that until higher courts or statutes change, the office will follow existing legal constraints.","Sheriff Mark J.

Daniels told listeners on KWCD’s First Watch that a newly used “turquoise alert” helped law enforcement find a noncustodial mother and her child and return the child to a custodial family. “They were able to find both the mother and the daughter and safely and return her to her custodial family,” Daniels said.
Daniels said the turquoise alert — a recent addition to the state’s public-alert tools and linked in his remarks to protection of Indigenous children — caused public confusion because it was unfamiliar to many listeners. “If you see turquoise, you know what it was,” he said, contrasting it with established alerts such as AMBER and Silver.
The sheriff also urged residents to ignore texts and calls demanding immediate payment and to contact law enforcement rather than follow links. “Delete it. Don't mess with it. Don't click on it. Delete it and let it go and block the number if you wish,” he said.
Daniels described a recent local case in which a victim was instructed to package $53,000 in cash and mail it to Florida; postal-service partners flagged the shipment in New Mexico and law enforcement made an arrest. The sheriff said the incident underscores how convincing scammers can be and that the public should verify messages that claim to be from government agencies.
Corporal Scott Borgstadt of the Sierra Vista Police Department reinforced the warning in a separate First Watch segment, noting many impersonation attempts target the Motor Vehicle Division. Borgstadt recommended residents independently call the agency listed on a message rather than using links in unsolicited texts. “Arizona doesn't have a DMV … it's actually MVD,” he said, explaining one textual red flag he and colleagues used to identify fraud.
Authorities urged residents to report suspicious messages to local law enforcement and not to send money or personal information in response to unsolicited communications.","Sheriff Mark J.
