Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County sheriff, is singled out by the Department of Justice as emblematic of a pervasive culture of discrimination, particularly against Latinos, in the state. From the New York Times: "After an investigation that lasted more than three years, the civil rights division of the Justice Department said in a 22-page report that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, which Mr. Arpaio leads, had 'a pervasive culture of discriminatory bias against Latinos' that 'reaches the highest levels of the agency.'”
