The Arizona Department of Public Safety Capitol Police District The Arizona Department of Public Safety Capitol Police District History and Development The Arizona Capitol Security was established in 1966 and was overseen by the Superintendent of Public Buildings Maintenance for protection of state property and regulating traffic and parking around the Arizona Capitol Mall in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1972 the Arizona Capitol Security became the Arizona Capitol Police, was granted law enforcement powers and became responsible for providing security for the Arizona Executive Governors Tower; State legislative House and Senate and state buildings located on the Capitol Mall. For well over a decade several attempts were made to transition the Arizona Capitol Police over to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). The Arizona DPS has constitutional responsibilities to provide dignitary protection for the Governor of Arizona whose executive office is located in the Executive Governors Tower. The Arizona DPS also has had sworn supervisors assigned to the state legislative House & Senate buildings where they provide security. Both agencies provided law enforcement services at the Capitol Mall but remained separate agencies. The Arizona DPS would also provide the Arizona Capitol Police assistance with manpower and resources during large scale events and protests that occurred at the Arizona Capitol Mall in Phoenix and at the Southern Arizona Capitol Complex located in Tucson, Arizona. The Arizona Capitol Police was long seen as a sister agency of the Arizona DPS. In July 2011, legislation was enacted that transitioned the Arizona Capitol Police over to the Arizona DPS. The Arizona Capitol Police District continues to be responsible for providing critical law enforcement services for 8,000-10,000 state employees and 53 state buildings located at the Capitol Mall. A critical function of the Arizona Capitol Police District is staffing Police Assistants at static posts that monitor and search over 320,000 visitors and state employees who enter the Executive Governors Tower. These Police Assistants have seized weapons and deal with agitated individuals wanting to speak with the Governor and other elected officials. The Arizona Capitol Police District also has an explosives canine team that conducts daily explosives sweeps around the Capitol Mall, mailrooms and explosives sweeps during protests and events. Additionally, the Arizona Capitol Police District monitors protestors and activists who sometime gather daily at the Capitol Mall to express their First Amendment views. The Capitol Police District is committed to safeguarding individuals exercising their First Amendment rights along with providing public safety during protests. The Arizona Capitol Police provides escorts during evenings and weekends for state employees, provides protective services during terminations, hearings and monitors both transients and the homeless population who seek services from a homeless shelter located on the Capitol Mall. These are just some of the special details that the Capitol Police District conducts on a regular basis, which are in addition to their normal patrol functions such as traffic enforcement and criminal investigations. The Arizona Department of Public Safety/Capitol Police District strives to provide professional police services for the many state employees and public who visit the Arizona State Capitol Mall daily. .

EPA is providing this design assistance to help support sustainable communities that protect the environment, economy, and public health and to inspire state leaders to expand this work elsewhere. Greening America's Capitals will help communities consider ways to incorporate sustainable design strategies into their planning and development to create and enhance interesting, distinctive neighborhoods that have multiple social, economic, and environmental benefits. Phoenix, Arizona, was chosen in 2011 as one of five state capital cities to receive this assistance, along with Montgomery, Alabama; Jackson, Mississippi; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Washington, D.C.

As the rate of COVID-19 infection reaches new peaks, it is essential that our state legislature recognize and respond to the reality in which we are living. In Arizona and across the country, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) individuals, low-income families, and People with Disabilities are being disproportionately impacted by the novel coronavirus disease and its impact on the economy. Now more than ever it is imperative that our state leaders take bold steps to ensure that the voices of those most vulnerable can be heard at the Capitol without risking public health and welfare. Current legislative processes, including short-notice meeting agendas, unnecessary and opaque constraints on use of the Request to Speak system, a lack of remote participation options, and hours of operation that inhibit participation by everyday people have, for too long, allowed only those privileged with time, knowledge, and economic security to have their voices heard at the state legislature.

    100 Years of Public Service A Message From Our Secretary of State For more than one hundred years, the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records has dedicated itself to preserving our state’s rich history and providing continued public access to the historical documents that tell the story of our magnificent state. On March 24, 2015 we celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the official creation of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records as an institution of the state. Few cultural institutions have the type of impact community libraries have on our society. With more than twenty-five million visits to more than two hundred libraries in Arizona each year, libraries are a critical thread in the fabric that forms our communities. Libraries make information and entertainment available to the masses whether it be the printed word or online access still unavailable to many in our state. Today, libraries are growing services to serve as job hubs for those seeking employment and as technology centers making advancements such as 3D printers accessible to everyone. In an era of unpreceded technological advancement, the State Library, Archives and Public Records division’s mission is more important than ever before. If we are to understand the present to plan for the future, we must have access to the past. Please enjoy this wonderful publication commemorating our one hundred years of public service! Michele Reagan, Secretary of State A Message From Our Secretary of State 100 Years of Public Service Published by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, a Division of the Secretary of State, to commemorate the establishment of the State Library at the Arizona State Capitol by the Legislature in March 1915.

  • Arizona, Pre 1930, White Border Post Card Collection Section 8
    Arizona, Pre 1930, White Border Post Card Collection Section 8 — Phoenix 2782 to P By Al Ring Early and Pre 1930, White Border: (Around 1898 to 1930) Pioneer Era (Pre 1898) — Most pre-1898 postcards share a few common traits: The postcard of this era is characterized by an undivided back (no line going down the center of the back of the postcard), and many con- tain printed lines on the back for the name of the addressee and his address only. Private Mailing Card Era (1898 to December 24, 1901) — On May 19, 1898, by an act of Congress, private printers were granted permission to print and sell cards that bore the inscription “Private Mailing card.” Cost of postage reduced from 2 cents to 1 cent. Undivided Back “Postcard” Era (December 24, 1901 to March 1, 1907) — The use of the word “POST CARD/POSTCARD” (as one or two words) was granted by the government to private printers. Writing was still not permitted on the address side. Divided Back Era (March 1, 1907 to 1915) (Golden Age) —Postcards with a divided back were finally permit- ted on March 1, 1907. The address had to be written on the right side of the back of the postcard while the left side was reserved for writing messages. White Border Era (1915-1930) —After WWI printers of view postcards, to save ink, a white border was left around the view, thus we call them “White Border” postcards. The higher cost of post-war publishing com- bined with inexperienced labor caused the production of poorer quality cards.
