## Resource

A federal monitor slams Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for plummeting compliance with internal affairs standards, down 12 points to 80%, citing a “disturbing pattern” of ethical breaches and abuse of power by the Professional Standards Bureau. Rooted in a decade-old racial profiling lawsuit, the report accuses the agency of weaponizing its disciplinary system — sparking debate over whether federal oversight is still needed. The Sheriff’s Office insists on integrity, while county officials push to end the court-mandated watch. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
