The precinct, which includes Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, and Northeast Phoenix, is located within Supervisorial Districts 2 and 3. In his role, Diaz will oversee law enforcement duties and the execution of judicial processes in these areas.
"Constables play a pivotal role in our communities and oftentimes put their lives at risk to keep residents safe," stated Chairman Thomas Galvin of District 2 following the county's announcement. While all three candidates brought unique qualifications, Diaz's extensive law enforcement experience stood out.
