  • 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.

    Greening America’s Capitals U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2012 GREENING LOWER GRAND AVENUE Phoenix, Arizona Greening America's Capitals is a project of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to help state capitals develop an implementable vision of distinctive, environmentally friendly neighborhoods that incorporate innovative green building and green infrastructure strategies. 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.
