La Paz County and the Colorado River

La Paz County was created in 1983 when it split from Yuma County to the south. The county runs along the Colorado River and includes popular recreation areas. Parker is the county seat and largest community, though the population swells significantly during winter months as seasonal visitors arrive.

The Colorado River Indian Reservation occupies a significant portion of the county. Tribal police handle law enforcement on reservation land independently from the county sheriff. Arrests on tribal land may be processed through tribal courts rather than the county system, so those records would be with tribal authorities.

The seasonal population fluctuations mean the sheriff's office serves both permanent residents and a large number of visitors, particularly during cooler months when the area is popular for camping and water recreation. This affects the volume of arrests and records the office processes throughout the year in La Paz County.
