Pima County

The Town of Marana was incorporated in March 1977.
By July 1977, the Marana Marshal's Office was formed.
Ray Gomez was appointed as the first Town Marshal along
with two deputy marshals. The department was a Marshal's
Office until 1985 when it became known as the Marana
Police Department.

The Town of Marana has experienced rapid growth in
recent years due to annexations, residential and
commercial development, as well as being located
in the northwest Tucson metropolitan area. From
its meager start of three employees in 1977, the
Marana Police Department has grown into a police
department of sixty-eight employees.
