Guns vs Hoses

Guns vs. Hoses
The Police Officers of Scottsdale Association is proud to bring the 2nd Annual Guns versus Hoses HOPE Charity Flag Football game to Scottsdale at Saguaro High School. Scottsdale Police Officers and Scottsdale Firefighters will be battling it out on the football field for the coveted winner's trophy, a year of bragging rights, and for charity. All entrance fees, food donations, and raffles at the event will be donated to the POSAOUTREACH 907 Fund to help Scottsdale Officers who have been injured or who need emergency assistance. The term 907 is a radio code meaning an Officer is calling for emergency assistance.
