Ambassadors

Downtown Ambassadors, known to many Tucsonans as the Purple People, provide security and maintenance in Downtown.

The Security Ambassadors, DPS License No. 1003550, are a constant presence across Downtown. They act as a strong visual deterrent to criminal behavior and are the eyes and ears of the Tucson Police Department.

The Maintenance Ambassadors take care of landscaping and help to keep Downtown looking it’s best. The maintenance crews make sure the streets are clean and the trees are trimmed, even regularly powerwashing the sidewalks according to this schedule (pdf).

The Downtown Tucson Partnership is currently developing a new program that will deploy highly trained volunteer docents to provide directions and information to Downtown visitors to help ensure that every experience is great.
