I feel a crime has been committed. How can I press charges or report the crime?
The primary investigative agency for a crime is the municipal police department. Crimes should be reported to the police department in the area where the crime occurred. For example, crimes committed in Tempe should be reported to the Tempe Police Department. If there is no municipal police department in your area of Maricopa County, the crime should be reported to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Once the police department completes the initial investigation, the report is filed with the correct prosecuting agency. The reviewing prosecutor decides what charge(s), if any, will be issued.

My neighbor/friend/relative is doing drugs. How can I anonymously report the problem?
An investigation by the local police department or sheriff's office needs to take place before the case is submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. Please contact the law enforcement agency in the jurisdiction where the crime was committed. Persons charged with possession of an illegal narcotic have the opportunity to enter a drug diversion program in conjunction with the Treatment and Assessment Screening Center.
