Our Mission:

"Making Sahuarita a Safe Place to Live, Work and Play"

The Sahuarita Police Department was established in September of 1997, and began with one Police Chief, one Sergeant, and four Patrol Officers. The department has grown to 46 sworn officers with two commanders, eight sergeants, and several special units that respond to thousands of calls for service a year.

The department is committed to community policing, safety and service! Community Policing is the philosophy and practice of joining the resources of the Police Department, various Town departments, local, state an federal agencies as well as local community resources to address crime and quality of life issues.
