Arizona State Capitol Police

Arizona State Capitol Police was the law enforcement agency responsible for the State Capitol Mall in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Tucson State Complex until 2011 when it merged with the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), alongside the Arizona Highway Patrol Division.
This police agency was historically under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Department of Administration. On July 1, 2011, the agency was merged with DPS.
The agency's primary patrol car was the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, painted black and white with black, white and gold striping and marked with an ASCP badge on the column behind the back door.
Today the Capitol Police still exist and patrol the Capitol grounds, but they are now full DPS officers and use DPS cars, logos and uniforms. Capitol police officers wear a special Capitol Police decal on their uniforms.
