Uniformed Patrol
The Ajo District is divided into three beats. Deputies are assigned to a squad to conduct routine patrol to maintain a 24-hour/7 day a week presence of the communities in the district. These communities include Ajo, Why, the Lukeville area, and at times, includes parts of the Barry Goldwater Military Range, Cabeza Prieta Refuge - to the Yuma County line, Organ Pipe National Monument, and vast tracks of the Federal Bureau of Land Management rangeland. Patrol deputies are the frontline in the Department’s crime deterring efforts. These men and women are the first responders to the publics’ calls for service and routinely are the first member of the Department the public meets. When not responding to calls, patrol deputies are proactively looking for criminal activity and working on Mission Oriented Policing projects.
