2 questions that apply to any department, but I'm looking for AZ specific answers.
On a ridealong with DPS, the officer I rode with arrested a person for DUI. Nothing unusual, other than he did not ask for backup before conducting the roadside and/or hooking up the drunk. Is this normal for other departments to arrest someone without backup?
Second question, Do AZ departments encourage off duty officers to carry, or is it actually discouraged? I ask because I have one friend who feels naked without his gun, and the other never carries off-duty. I don't have an opinion on what is best, therefore I'm curious what the departments say.
Thanks!
