Specialized Professional Units

Specialized Response Team

Transport Unit

The Transport Unit handles most of the inmate movement across the county, state, and nation.  This includes moving inmates between YCSO jail facilities, picking up and dropping off inmates at other jurisdictions like Arizona Department of Correction, and picking up Fugitives of Justice in other states.  The Transport Unit fleet consists of SUV’s, vans, busses, and aircraft.
