"This gives law enforcement an additional tool to prevent the lawlessness we've seen here and in cities nationwide," Ducey wrote. "Police will be equipped to make arrests of individuals who are planning to riot, loot or cause damage and unrest."
Ducey said the declaration also authorizes an expanded National Guard mobilization "to protect life and property throughout the state."
"Our office will continue to communicate with local law enforcement to provide whatever resources we can," the governor wrote.
