A&E's new 10-episode limited series, "Desert Law," is providing an inside look at the Pima County Sheriff's Office. The show, which began airing in January 2026, showcases the daily life and challenges faced by deputies within one of America's largest sheriff's departments. Filming for the series took place throughout the spring and summer of 2025, capturing the work of patrol deputies, night detectives, and the DUI unit.
The "Weapons Found" episode, which aired in February 2026, highlighted deputies responding to incidents related to "some of the loosest gun laws in the country." Viewers saw footage of a response to a supermarket fight involving a drawn pistol and a suspected armed home invasion. The series' debut occurs as the sheriff's office, in collaboration with the FBI, continues its search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie. She disappeared from her Tucson residence on February 1, 2026, with investigators treating the case as a kidnapping.
