The Colorado City/Hilldale Police Department is the police department of the cross-border towns of Colorado City, Arizona and Hilldale, Utah.




Background


The twin towns of Colorado City and Hilldale have historically been home to the Fundamental Church of Jesus Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), a group that practicses polygamy. Following the arrest of the churches' prophet Warren Jeffs in 2006 on charges of sexual assault on children, the police department was revealed to have been largely controlled by the church, and its undercover units were nicknamed the 'God Squad'.
Following major reforms throughout the two communities, the town governments, including the police departments have distanced themselves from the religious group.
