AHCCCS will vet the data request and return an acknowledgement of receipt within 5 business days. This process is available only to law enforcement agencies; other entities should call 911 as submissions will be returned. Share this Law Enforcement Data Request flier with city, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies.
