In 1977 he was appointed Chief Deputy with the Pima County Sheriff's Department, and in 1980 he was appointed Sheriff. He was elected seven times to four-year terms as Sheriff. Because Pima County shares a border with Mexico, Dupnik's office handles a wide range of illegal immigration〔Crewdson, John M. (July 10, 1980).
