The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has announced the appointment of Dan Diaz as the new constable for the McDowell Mountain Justice Precinct. This precinct includes Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, and parts of Northeast Phoenix, covering Supervisorial Districts 2 and 3.

Commenting on the appointment, Chairman Thomas Galvin of District 2 stated, "Constables play a pivotal role in our communities and oftentimes put their lives at risk to keep residents safe. Although all three candidates would make excellent constables, Mr. Diaz's exemplary law enforcement experience and award recognitions made him the best choice. I wish Constable Diaz the best of luck in his new role."

Constable Diaz has been a Police Lieutenant with the Superior Police Department since May 2018, having previously served as a Police Officer in the Casa Grande Police Department for a year. His new responsibilities as constable include executing, serving and returning processes, warrants, and notices, and fulfilling duties at justice courts as needed.

The legal requirements for this appointment specified that the appointee must be a Republican, reside within the McDowell Mountain Justice Precinct, and be a registered voter in Arizona. Diaz will serve through the end of the current term, succeeding his Republican predecessor, David Lester.
