Department of State and Foreign Affairs

 * Website: Portal:Arizona Department of State and Foreign Affairs

The Arizona Department of State and Foreign Affairs, usually shortened to "Department of State", is the State's combined foreign, elections, records and archives, notary-public, trademark registration, and copy certification (certified copies) ministry. Among other responsibilities, the Department is tasked with carrying out the Governor's foreign Policy and the United States' Common Foreign Policy, as well as ensuring the proper functioning of all State, county, local, and Federal electoral systems within Arizona. The Department is headed by a Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs, commonly known as "Secretary of State". After the Governor, the Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs is the most senior member of in the Executive Department. However, the Secretary of State is not the first in the gubernatorial order of succession; rather, the President of the Arizona Senate is first in line to succeed to the Office of Governor in the event that the duly elected Governor is killed, incapacitated, is absent from the State (in which Case the President of the Senate serves only as Acting Governor until the elected Governor returns to the State), or is otherwise unable to execute the Powers and Duties of his Office.

Department of the Attorney-General

 * Website: Portal:Arizona Department of the Attorney-General

The Arizona Department of the Attorney-General is responsible for providing legal counsel to the State and to local governments on all matters of State and Federal law. The Department is also the State-level prosecutor's office; however, the fifteen County-Attorney offices carry out most of this responsibility: for the most part, the Department of the Attorney-General would only take on the role of prosecutor in extraordinary circumstances and for extraordinary crimes, such as investigating corruption in one of the County-Attorney offices or investigating corruption in the offices of senior State officers, or prosecuting the crime of treason. However, the Department of the Attorney-General is responsible for prosecuting federal offenses. The Department of the Attorney-General is headed by the Attorney-General of Arizona. The AG must be an attorney licensed by the State Bar of Arizona and have had practiced Law in Arizona for at least five Years prior to his appointment as Attorney-General and, like every State or local Officer, must have not been convicted, under Arizona law, of Treason, Felony, or domestic Violence.

The post of Attorney-General is a powerful one, especially in that the AG may issue advisory opinions on Matters of State and Federal law, which are binding unless and until overridden by the Legislature or the Courts; however, opinions issued by the Arizona AG on Matters of Federal Law may also be overridden by the United States Attorney-General.

The Department is also the primary enforcer of Arizona’s antitrust, consumer Fraud, organized Crime, and civil Rights laws. This gives the Attorney-General significant ability to shape public Policy. The Department also prosecutes administrative disciplinary Actions against Doctors, Dentists, real estate Agents, licensed Contractors, and others who hold occupational Licenses.

The Attorney-General, both personally, and through the Department of the Attorney-General, also plays an important, but not exclusive Role in criminal law Enforcement: In Arizona, most Crimes are initially Tried at the County-level in superior Court by elected County Attorneys and their Staffs. Appeals of criminal Convictions are, however, typically handed by the Department of the Attorney-General to ensure Statewide consistency on important legal Issues. In addition, the Attorney-General has supervisory Powers over County Attorneys and can take over local criminal Prosecutions at the request of the Governor or County —this usually occurs when a County Attorney has a conflict of Interest. <ul> <li>Office of Attorney-General <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Attorney-General <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">Mark Brnovich <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Senior Assistant and Chief of Staff <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Senior Undersecretary to the Attorney-General <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB <ul> <li>Office of Solicitor-General <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Solicitor-General <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li> <li>Office of Public Information <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Deputy Attorney-General for Public Information <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li>

Department of Public Safety

 * Website: Portal:Arizona Department of Public Safety

The Department of Public Safety, also known as the “Arizona State Troopers”, is responsible for maintaining law and order throughout the State. However, in practice, much of this responsibility is carried out by the fifteen Sheriff's Offices and the numerous municipal and specialist police agencies. The Department of Public Safety is, however, vested with primary jurisdiction over certain, specific offenses, and exclusive enforcement authority over various statutes (primarily those which pertain to immigration, customs, foreign affairs, national security, trans-national crime, arms and human smuggling, white-collar crime, and financial crimes); and is vested with exclusive jurisdiction, both investigative and enforcement, over all State property, State facilities (including State military installations), and State Lands. DPS coordinate with the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs on security matters for Arizona embassies and Arizona ambassadors abroad.

Also a gendarmerie force, the Arizona State Troopers have a wide-ranging mandate, however the Agency has delegated many of its responsibilities to county Sheriffs and municipal Police.

The Department of Public Safety is under the command of the Secretary of the Department of Public Safety, with the rank of Colonel, who is appointed by the Governor of Arizona, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Arizona Senate. The Secretary is assisted by a Senior Undersecretary, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Secretary. The Department is composed of six primary divisions - State Patrol (formerly Highway Patrol), Criminal Investigations, Technical Services, Agency Support, Intelligence, and the Secretary’s Office. The five program Divisions are each headed by an Undersecretary, each with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. <ul> <li>Office of the Secretary <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Secretary of Public Safety <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;font-Variant:small-caps;">Col. <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">Paul Babeu   <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Senior Assistant and Chief of Staff <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB   <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Senior Undersecretary <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;font-Variant:small-caps;">LtCol.  <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">Heston Silbert <ul> <li>Agency Ombudsman <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Obudsman <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li> <li>Office of the Budget <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Deputy Secretary for the Budget <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li> <li>Government Liaison Section <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Deputy Secretary for Government Liaison <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li> <li>Management Services and Training Section <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Deputy Secretary for Management Services and Training <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li> <li>Office of Public Information <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Assistant Secretary for Public Information <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li> <li>Professional Standards Unit <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Assistant Secretary for Professional Standards <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB </li> <li>Executive Security Unit <span style="font-Size:85% !important;"><span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">Assistant Secretary for Executive Security <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;">: <span style="font-Family:Ember-Medium !important;font-Variant:small-caps;">Maj. <span style="font-Family:Ember-Light !important;">AABB  </li> </ul> </li>

Arizona Supreme Court

 * Portal:Arizona Supreme Court

The Arizona Supreme Court is the supreme Court of the State of Arizona. It consists of a chief Justice and six associate Justices. Each Justice is appointed by the Governor of Arizona from a List recommended by a bipartisan Commission (See: Missouri Plan). Justices stand for retention in an Election two Years after their appointment, and then every six Years thereafter. They must retire at age 70.

The chief Justice is chosen for a Term of five Years by the Members of the Court, and is eligible for re-election. He supervises the administration of all the inferior Courts, that is all Courts below the supreme Court. The chief Justice is also the Chairman of the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments, which nominates Candidates to fill Vacancies in the appellate Courts (including the supreme Court). If the Governor fails to appoint one of the nominated Candidates within sixty Days of their Names being submitted to him, the chief Justice makes the appointment.

The Jurisdiction of the Court is prescribed by Article VI, Section 5 of the Arizona Constitution. Most of the appeals heard by the Court first go through the Arizona Court of Appeal, except for death penalty Cases, over which the Arizona Supreme Court has sole appellate jurisdiction. The Court also has original Jurisdiction in a few other circumstances as outlined in the Arizona Constitution. A Quorum is five, but the whole Court must sit in order to declare a Law unconstitutional.
