History

A sheriff's duties include: 1) preserving the peace; 2) arresting all persons who attempt to commit or commit a public offense; 3) taking charge of and keeping the county jail and prisoners in the county jail; 4) serving processes and notices; and 5) coordinating rescue operations (A.R.S. § 11-441).

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is a public service organization dedicated to providing the best possible service to the citizens of Gila County. It is comprised of three bureaus-the Administration Bureau, the Patrol Bureau and the Detention Bureau. The Administration Bureau provides support services to both the Patrol and Detention Bureau. The Patrol Bureau is responsible for patrol activity throughout the unincorporated areas of the County to enforce laws and conduct crime prevention activities. Lastly, the Detention Bureau provides for the care, custody and control of prisoners with the intent to reduce recidivism in Gila County through education and services provided to prisoners both accused of or convicted of crimes.
