Arizona Rangers

Common card · No. 395876

The Arizona Rangers are a volunteer, non-commissioned civilian organization that assists law enforcement agencies in Arizona at their request and under their direction. They also provide security services for government and nonprofit organizations, as well as youth and community services. The original Arizona Rangers were created in 1901 in the Arizona Territory. Modeled after the Texas Rangers, they were tasked with pursuing and arresting outlaws, particularly along the United States-Mexican border. The territorial legislature repealed the act establishing the Rangers in 1909. The modern organization was established in 1957 with the assistance of four former members of the territorial force and was officially recognized by the State of Arizona in 2002.
