The public safety professionals of Arizona put their lives on the line every day to keep our residents safe, and the Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs makes sure that these heroes are protected and supported.
AZCOPS believes that all Arizona public safety employees — sworn or civilian — should be provided with fair compensation and benefits, consistent with their professional status and the important public safety service they provide to their communities, and we put in the work to make that happen.
AZCOPS strives to further the interests of public safety professionals through aggressive representation in the legal and political arenas.
We work to obtain the best possible compensation and benefits for our brave law enforcement officers through positive interaction with local and state officials. We pursue positive change and encourage open communication between employers and our members. And above all, we promote the positive influence organized public safety professionals bring to our communities in Arizona, and all across the country.
Don’t just take our word for it – see what actual AZCOPS members have to say about their experience.
“November 5, 2024 – I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support provided by AZCOPS, AZCOPS’ attorney Steve Serbalik, and Steve’s staff, Aaron and Max. After over twenty years in law enforcement, facing the challenges of a medical retirement process can be overwhelming. The team at AZCOPS was not only committed to serving me but also to truly understanding and telling my story to the retirement board. Their dedication to capturing the nuances of my service and experiences made all the difference. In a system often mired in bureaucracy, their expertise and commitment ensured my voice was heard and my story accurately represented. I genuinely believe that without AZCOPS’ representation, I would have faced a much less than favorable outcome. Their work is invaluable to those of us who have dedicated our lives to service, and I am forever grateful for their support and professionalism.”
The U.S. Department of Justice just released their report into the Phoenix Police Department. The only problem? The report is inaccurate. Like so many cities before Phoenix, the DOJ is hoping to bully city leaders into cooperation, without releasing proof of the allegations made.
As agencies update their fleets, and more officers are familiar with the technology allowing phones and vehicles to communicate (no pun intended), new considerations pop up that police need to be aware of. This video addresses an issue that just about every member of the LEO profession might encounter, even if a sheriff’s deputy or state trooper doesn’t have any cell service in most places they patrol. Check it out!
Off duty jobs have become popular in the law enforcement community. Cops, sheriff’s deputies, and troopers everywhere have taken advantage of the request for certified LEOs by private organizations. This is a benefit to police officers and can be a great thing in their lives.
However, with these new situations, new questions and scenarios have arose.
We did a video about having lights in a personal vehicle for off duty jobs. This week, we want to address when an officer may want to check on, and off, from an off duty job, and why.

We take care of our own — it’s that simple. The Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs Foundation has been around for a decade and solely exists to help our members when they’re in need.
Our foundation has helped support officers and their families when a member is injured or killed, assisted with medical expenses for our officers and their families when they’re in need, and assisted our members in hardship, among many other instances. If you’re in need of help, don’t hesitate to reach out to our foundation for more information.
