Committee on Public Safety & Law Enforcement
Overview
Exempts a fiscal year (FY) 2026 appropriation of $750,000 to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) for the Yuma County Family Advocacy Center, from lapsing.
History
Established in 1969, DPS is the state's law enforcement agency tasked with creating and coordinating services for use by local law enforcement agencies in protecting the public safety. DPS is responsible for: 1) enforcing laws on Arizona state highways and in narcotics, organized crime, liquor and specific regulatory functions; 2) providing operational assistance to local and state agencies within the criminal justice community; and 3) establishing modern services for prevention of crime, apprehension of violators and the training of law enforcement personnel (A.R.S. §§ 41-1711; 41-1712) (Arizona DPS).
The General Appropriations Act of FY 2026 included a one-time, $750,000 appropriation from the state General Fund to the Yuma County Family Advocacy Center Distribution line item within the DPS budget. The appropriation was to be allocated to an advocacy center in Yuma County that had provided support for domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and elderly abuse for at least 25 years. This funding was also intended to backfill federal funding cuts to the Victims Crime Act of 1984 (DPS, JLBC FY 26).
