ACCESS: Portions of the DPS website are open only to those individuals who have requested and received lawful authorization to access the restricted area of the website. Access by any individual not authorized is considered "illegal hacking" and is punishable by numerous Federal, State, and International Telecommunication Laws. In order to insure proper access and tracking of those that enter restricted portions of the website, the server registers and permanently records the "address" of each user as they browse the website beyond this point. In this way a trace can be made of the path of access back to the I.S.P. or Network, and then to the user. Arizona D.P.S. controls the server on which this site is hosted. Arizona D.P.S. will investigate and prosecute any individuals or organizations who illegally access, or attempt to access, the restricted areas of this website or misuse the material presented here.

If you have been granted password privileges for FTP or restricted website access, sharing your password with an unauthorized user or third party is strictly prohibited.
