The Salt River Police Department (SRPD) is the law enforcement agency on the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona.[1] It is headed by a Chief of Police, five Commanders, ten Lieutenants and nineteen Sergeants.[2]

History

The Salt River Police Department (SRPD) transitioned from early federal oversight by the Bureau of Indian Affairs into a fully autonomous law enforcement agency serving the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC). The department expanded from a small security force into a CALEA-accredited organization equipped with specialized investigative and tactical units, while maintaining respect for the cultural traditions of the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Xalychidom Piipaash (Maricopa) tribes.
