Good Afternoon,

There is no existing record that lists the name, precinct, squad and supervisors of all officers within the Phoenix Police Department for all dates since January, 2020. The information exists in multiple records including employment databases, as well as in multiple locations. Moreover, there is no department wide officer work directory because the information on titles, supervisors and work locations (including precincts) changes constantly. Searching each precinct, work unit, or work location manually for directories or rosters is an unreasonable burden for a department with over 3,000 sworn officers. The City declines to create new records.

Additionally, we’d decline on the grounds of security. There are several officer work locations/duties that need to be kept confidential.
Best regards,

Public Records Team
