Desert Law

When the blistering Arizona sun finally sets over Tucson’s Sonoran Desert, the temperature drops—and the crime rate rises.

With exclusive access to one of the largest sheriff’s departments in America, “Desert Law” follows the high-intensity work of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department—its patrol deputies, DUI unit, and night detectives—as they cover more than 9,000 square miles of rugged terrain.

Exposed to the intense pressure and the dangers of policing the desert night, this series captures a world where the spirit of the Old West still lingers and the fight for order never ends.
