flag Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs uses $1M in savings to fund 14,000 trooper overtime hours, boosting patrols on 6,800 miles of roads amid staffing shortages.

flag Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has used $1 million in operational savings to fund up to 14,000 hours of overtime for state troopers, expanding highway patrols without legislative approval. flag The move, aimed at improving safety on Arizona’s 6,800 miles of roads, addresses staffing shortages with 438 vacant trooper positions and limited 24/7 coverage in some areas. flag The funding supports the Arrive Alive Arizona campaign and avoids a Republican-backed bill that would have redirected consumer fraud funds. flag While the Arizona State Troopers Association welcomed the action, it continues to push for $6.4 million in additional funding for vehicles and overtime.
