The first-ever AZDPS STEM Training & Application in Real World Public Safety (S.T.A.R.) program was a great success!

The three-day program was held from March 20-22, 2024, in and around AZDPS Headquarters in Phoenix and included ten student participants from high schools across Arizona.

On March 1, 2024, Inspector Dennis Young retired from the Arizona Department of Public Safety after a remarkable 50 years of dedicated service to the State of Arizona.

Over the course of his career, Young participated in several major operations, rose through the ranks to hold leadership positions across the department, and received numerous awards for his outstanding dedication and professionalism.
