Supervisor’s Message
A Win for Local Law Enforcement
“Today is a win for local law enforcement, Phoenix residents, and, most importantly, federalism. This morning, the Trump Administration announced an end to the Department of Justice’s overreaching investigation of the Phoenix Police Department.
Since becoming Chairman, I have promised to fight back against these arbitrary, punitive measures inflicted by the federal government. Last month, I wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi calling for an end to the investigation into Phoenix PD and today we received the best possible response.
I am grateful for this administration’s swift and decisive action. I will continue to fight on behalf of taxpayers and against the judicial oversight of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department, which has cost taxpayers $352 million since 2008.
Today’s decision is a step toward restoring local control and ending the federal government’s ever-moving goalposts.”
