The Superstition District has various crime reduction goals, which are consistent throughout the Mesa Police Department.

Detectives from various units work together to reduce criminal activity and apprehend outstanding suspects involved in various crimes.

The Mesa Police Department has instituted a citywide goal to reduce residential and commercial burglaries; reduce vehicle burglaries, auto thefts; and to reduce traffic violations and deaths. The Superstition Patrol Officers, working in conjunction with the other patrol districts are committed to reducing the number of automobile collisions at targeted intersections. To accomplish this, they are participating in Operation Drive & Arrive, a project intended to reduce injury and fatal accidents by 25 percent. To accomplish this goal, the strategies include public education, selective traffic enforcement, photo radar, implementation of red light/intersection speed cameras, and an increased focus on habitual traffic offenders. Officers are utilizing extra patrol at targeted intersections and using a "zero tolerance" enforcement policy for traffic violations at these locations.
