La Paz County Sheriff's
Office
|
The patrol division
is the largest part of the office and the first line of defense to the
community. Our goal is to provide 24 hour service to the communities
within La Paz County. To effectively reach this goal the patrol
division is divided into three districts to cover the nearly 4500
square miles of the county. To date, there are four substations located
throughout La Paz County. Each district has one deputy assigned per
shift and one sergeant, working twelve hour shifts.
The patrol division
is commanded by the Patrol Lieutenant and is comprised of four
sergeants and fifteen deputies. Additional assignments in the patrol
division include K-9, School Resource, Arson Investigation, Search and
Rescue Coordinator, Critical Collision Investigation, Field Training
Officer and Special Response Team.
Critical Collision Team
The Critical
Collision Team is comprised of seven deputies who have specialized
training in collision investigation and reconstruction. The team is
supervised by a field sergeant and overseen by the patrol commander. The critical
collision team utilizes Total Station computer diagramming equipment
for major collision scenes and assists most of the agencies in the
county with investigations and reconstruction of serious injury and
fatal collisions.
Western Arizona DUI Task Force
The Western Arizona
DUI Task Force was established in January of 2005 by the Governor’s
Office of Highway Safety (G.O.H.S.) to combat the growing problem of
the impaired driver and other traffic related issues within the State
of Arizona. The DUI Task Force is comprised of agencies in La Paz and
Mohave Counties which include the La Paz County Sheriff’s Office,
Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, Kingman Police Department, Lake Havasu
City Police Department, Quartzsite Police Department, Parker Police
Department and the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
DUI Task Force
activities are funded through grants received from the Governor’s
Office of Highway Safety and managed by the La Paz County Sheriff’s
Office.
Special
Response Team
The
La Paz County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team (SRT) is comprised
of sheriff deputies who perform special tactical duties in a part-time
capacity. Each team member receives specialized training in tactics,
firearms, special weapons, terrorism response and school based response
to active shooters.
The
SRT was established to respond to critical incidents that involve
barricaded subject, hostage negotiations / rescue, and high risk
situations within La Paz County. The SRT is also utilized to serve high
risk search and arrest warrants for the sheriff’s office and the
Narcotics Task Force.
The LPCSO SRT trains frequently with SRT/SWAT Teams from other area Agencies and with the Arizona Detention Association CERT (Corrections Emergency Response Team) Trainers.
