This area includes: Sun City and Sun City West, the communities of Wittmann, Waddell, Circle City, Morristown, Whispering Ranch, Aguila, Gladden, and the unincorporated neighborhoods surrounding Peoria, Surprise, and Wickenburg. District III's area also includes Lake Pleasant and White Tanks Parks. All this area is divided into patrol beats ranging from 12 to 160 square miles.
Normal strength of personnel is usually around 50, including patrol deputies, detectives, administrative personnel etc. This can of course fluctuate slightly depending on the needs of the Office. These district personnel carry out the mandated duties of the Sheriff in the unincorporated areas of northwest Maricopa County.
Satellite Jails: A jail facility is located at both the Surprise and Wickenburg offices, which require at least 15 detention officers, and one detention Supervisor to operate. These jail facilities are closed at the current time due to the lack of manpower. |
