History
Each county in Arizona elects or appoints a county sheriff whose responsibilities include: 1) preserving the peace and order of the public by preventing disturbances, insurrections, and detaining individuals who commit public offenses; 2) attending certain courts and serving legal process and notices; 3) governing the county jail; 4) conducting or coordinating search and rescue operations within the county and with the assistance of the sheriff's posse upon request; and 5) preventing the entry of unaccompanied minors across the border within counties bordering Mexico (A.R.S. § 11-441).
