Actually, there is another contemporary remnant of the territorial era’s clash between law and order and the criminal element: The Arizona Rangers are alive and well, although with quite a different purpose than their original brothers in arms.
At the turn of the century, before Arizona was a state, the area was crawling with rustlers, outlaws and other criminal types who found that the sparse population and lack of official law enforcement made it a great place to set up camp.
The Rangers don’t write tickets or make arrests, but they often act as a deterrent or monitor situations where the police can’t be at a given moment.
