The office is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and functions as a sizable component of local government services. In the law enforcement sector, the office's mission centers on maintaining public safety and enforcing laws across its jurisdiction through policing and detention operations. In 2025, the agency selected LINEV Systems US, Inc. to deploy AI-assisted body scanners for enhanced contraband detection across facilities.
