flag Maricopa County misused $226M in compliance funds meant to end racial profiling, spending most on non-compliance items despite ongoing federal oversight.

flag A 2025 report reveals that Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office misused $226 million in court-ordered compliance funds meant to address racial profiling from former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration enforcement tactics. flag From 2014 to 2024, 72% of spending was improperly attributed, with funds used for personnel, vehicles, office renovations, body camera licenses, and an $11,000 golf cart. flag Despite $323 million spent so far—projected to reach $352 million by 2026—progress remains uneven, with ongoing issues in oversight, internal affairs backlogs, and accountability. flag Federal oversight continues over a decade after a 2013 ruling found systemic discrimination.
