Sgt. Garcia, a 26 year TPD veteran, is currently the supervisor of the Fraud Unit. His other TPD assignments included stints with Vice, Narcotics, Internal Affairs, Special Investigations – Organized Crime, and Night Detectives – Violent Crimes. Mike has made the Fraud Unit as effective as possible by building partnerships with the federal agencies in Tucson. While working as a supervisor in the Fraud Unit, Garcia has been recognized as an expert in Identity Theft. He has gathered information in this area and given presentations to numerous organizations and neighborhood associations, most on his own time. He has unselfishly given of his himself in many other ways. In 2007 Sgt. Garcia found out that an officer’s son had terminal cancer, and the family was in need of financial assistance. He wanted to raise money for the family so he started the Angels in Blue golf tournament with Lt. Lew Bentley. The tournament, which involved countless hours, raised $10,000 for the family. The tournament continued in 2008 with the proceeds assisting the Tucson Police Foundation and another officer that was stricken with a terminal illness. It is now an annual event. Sgt. Garcia is also very active in TPD’s Hearts of Gold Police Family Outreach Program. Mike never stops giving.
