About the Phoenix Field Division

Welcome to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Phoenix Field Division. Our Division is responsible for ATF criminal enforcement and industry regulatory activities in the States of Arizona and New Mexico. Our dedicated work force is comprised of special agents, investigators, explosive enforcement officers, auditors, technicians and support staff.

ATF is committed to reducing violent crime in our neighborhoods. ATF’s Phoenix Field Division special agents combat firearms violence by focusing their investigative efforts on armed violent offenders, career criminals, gun traffickers and gangs. We also work in partnership with other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies throughout Arizona and New Mexico to accomplish this mission.

Explosives and arson enforcement is an integral part of ATF’s overall violent crime reduction strategy. ATF’s Phoenix Field Division special agents combat arson and explosives-related crimes by conducting independent investigations and by working in partnership with local and state fire investigators and police bomb squads.

ATF also has the duty of regulating the firearms and explosives industries. Our industry operations investigators work to ensure that all firearms and explosives are stored, handled and sold in a safe manner as mandated by federal law.

We encourage all residents to get involved and assist us in our goal of reducing crime in our communities. Give us a call and let us know what we can do for you. Our phone number is (602) 776-5400.
