TUCSON, Ariz. – The Pima County Sheriff’s Office is garnering increased attention thanks to a new television series that coincides with the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie.
The series, “Desert Law,” debuted on A&E in January, offering audiences a 10-episode glimpse into the operations of one of the nation’s largest sheriff’s departments. The show highlights the daily responsibilities and challenges faced by deputies in the Arizona office.

Filmed during the spring and summer of 2025, the series captures the activities of patrol deputies, night detectives, and the DUI unit as they address various situations across the county.
While Sheriff Chris Nanos does not appear on camera, he collaborated closely with the show’s producers to organize filming alongside his deputies, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

The most recent episode, titled “Weapons Found,” aired Wednesday, with filmmakers following deputies as they patrol with “some of the loosest gun laws in the country,” according to the show’s description.
The episode reportedly includes video of deputies responding to an incident involving a pistol being drawn in a supermarket fight and a suspected armed home invasion.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office and A&E did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The show’s rollout comes amid the sheriff’s office working in tandem with the FBI in the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie.
Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson home in the early morning hours of Feb. 1, with investigators treating the case as an apparent kidnapping.
In an emotional video posted to social media on Sunday, Savannah Guthrie pleaded with her mother’s suspected abductors, telling them “it is never too late to do the right thing.”
“I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope, and we still believe. And I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is. It’s never too late. And you’re not lost or alone,” Savannah Guthrie said. “We believe in the essential goodness of every human being. And it’s never too late.”
