The Rule 15 Disclosure Database (formerly called The Brady List) is a list compiled and created by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office that contains the names and details of law enforcement officers within Maricopa County who have had sustained incidents of untruthfulness, criminal convictions, candor issues, or some other type of issue placing their credibility into question. Prosecutors consult this list during case preparation and may not use officers who appear on this list as their testimony may be deemed untrustworthy. Each County prosecutor’s office in Arizona maintains a list specific to their county. Additionally in Arizona the Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys’ Advisory Council has created a searchable state-wide database on their website where anyone can search a specific officer’s name to determine if the name appears on the list. Placement in the database is not evidence of any misconduct by anyone named on the Rule 15.1 Disclosure Database. This database does not assess the credibility of any listed individual, nor the admissibility of any evidence relating to a listed individual. The Rule 15.1 Disclosure Database is intended to be used only by participants within Arizona’s criminal justice system for purposes of complying with the State’s disclosure obligations under Rule 15.1, Ariz.R.Crim.P., Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), and its progeny. The Rule 15.1 Disclosure Database may not be used for any improper purpose.
