The Arizona Rangers function as a uniformed law enforcement auxiliary under the Governor of Arizona, providing services across the state. They offer law enforcement assistance to federal, state, and local agencies and deliver security support for community and civic groups, along with backing for youth programs. Based in Camp Verde, Arizona, the organization is small in scale with a focused staffing profile. Members undergo both state and national background checks and must hold an Arizona Concealed Weapons Permit, in addition to completing the Arizona Ranger Training Academy. They are trained to carry collapsible batons and OC spray and meet Arizona POST firearm qualification standards, with additional POST training in handcuffing and defensive tactics; specialized training can be pursued for particular duties. The Rangers trace their roots to the late 19th century, a history tied to the settlement of Arizona and to upholding the U.S. and Arizona Constitutions.
