In accordance with statutory guidelines, the Commission is comprised of 19 members who represent various elements of the criminal justice system in Arizona. Fourteen of the 19 Commissioners are appointed by the governor and are municipal, county or elected officials. The remaining five are state criminal justice agency heads. Appointed Commissioners serve for two years and terminate when the first regular session of the legislature is convened; they may be re-appointed. The ACJC was created in 1982 to serve as a resource and service organization for Arizona's 480 criminal justice agencies on a myriad of issues ranging from drugs, gangs, victim compensation and assistance to criminal record improvement initiatives. The ACJC works on behalf of the criminal justice agencies in Arizona to facilitate information and data exchange among state-wide agencies by establishing and maintaining criminal justice information archives, monitoring new, and continuing legislation relating to criminal justice issues and gathering information and researching existing criminal justice programs.

The SRO is focusing on developing the relationships necessary to obtain information and begin methamphetamine related criminal investigations in conjunction with Greenlee County’s Narcotics Task Force. He is encouraging all participating schools to take advantage of a narcotics detection dog within the schools for enforcement and prevention efforts. The 2006 Arizona Youth Survey, conducted by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, has been used to set a baseline for methamphetamine use within schools in Greenlee County. This baseline can be compared with future survey results to determine if methamphetamine use is increasing or decreasing in Greenlee County. The SRO has met with the Greenlee County Meth Coalition, the Greenlee County Narcotics Task Force, and the Greenlee County Substance Abuse Counselor during this quarter. He has also become more aware of local methamphetamine locations and programs. During the first month of this program, there was an increase in calls for service to the schools. This increase was explained by school officials as being the result of an understanding of the availability and commitment of law enforcement to the schools. Weekly meetings with school districts are taking place in order to determine the effectiveness of the program and adjust to the needs of the schools and communities as needed.
