The Faces of Community Action

Camelback Moving is known throughout the Valley for coming to the rescue when customers and businesses need help with their moving needs. However, earlier this year, several employees from the company played a crucial role in saving a girl who was the subject of a recent Amber Alert.

On the morning of February 22nd, a security guard employed at the QuikTrip at the intersection of 27th Avenue and Thomas Road noticed a young girl and an adult woman who matched the description in the alert issued on the prior day. Thankfully, a Camelback Moving crew was also at the convenience store. After consulting with each other on the best plan of action, they used two 26-foot moving trucks to block in the suspect’s vehicle, preventing them from leaving. Phoenix Police arrived 2 and a half minutes later and recovered the victim unharmed.

“We are incredibly proud of our community heroes: Robert Hernandez, Ralph Vollmert, Christopher Dixon, Kevin Place, Kevin Kimes, Gerardo Galacia, Kobe Brown, and Michael Macallum for their courage, quick thinking, and teamwork,” said Chad Olsen, Camelback Moving’s president.

“Their actions exemplify what it means to look out for our community and to take its safety seriously. This is a powerful reminder that the Amber Alert system works. We also want to express our sincere gratitude that the young girl was safely returned to her family.”

This heroic moment follows Camelback Moving’s partnership with the nonprofit Truckers Against Trafficking to train its employees in human trafficking awareness, reinforcing the company’s commitment to protecting the community.
