G.A.I.N. showcases the importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight for a safer Arizona. On G.A.I.N. day (third Saturday in October), we invite neighborhoods to come together and make their community a safer, better place to live.

Arizona is a treatment first state.  Voters approved mandatory treatment for the first two possession or use offenses.
