Training

The Arizona Department of Public Safety, along with other Arizona law enforcement agencies, has provided training to Mexican officers in the States of Sonora and Baja California in various topics. This is another way of demonstrating our genuine interest in the on-going cooperation. Following are more examples of training provided to our counterparts across the border.
