The majority of orchestra members reside in Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff, but some travel from as far as New York, California, Kansas, New Mexico, and Vermont to be members of this orchestra.

As with other major metropolitan areas, in both Phoenix and Tucson there are separate and dedicated orchestras for each musical genre: symphonic music and opera. The orchestra performs in Phoenix Symphony Hall and in Tucson Convention Center Music Hall.

AZOOMA serves as a representative body for the Arizona Opera Orchestra musicians and under its bylaws operates audition and grievance committees, a contract negotiation committee, an outreach committee and Regional Orchestra Players Association representatives. Beyond this, the organization was created to promote and support Arizona Opera musicians and their activities, and to raise awareness and reach out to the community in support of the Arizona Opera and its programs.

AZOOMA is affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians (a branch of the AFL-CIO) and most members claim to have earned bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees from some of the world's finest conservatories and universities, including:

Arizona State University
University of Arizona
Northern Arizona University
Northwestern University
Indiana University
Manhattan School of Music
Cincinnati Conservatory
Eastman School of Music
Oberlin Conservatory

Other statistics:

95% of the orchestra members have a college degree 
84% of the orchestra members have more than one college degree 
1/3 of the orchestra members have a doctoral degree

The organization operates under a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Arizona Opera and American Federation of Musicians Local 586.

The aufhocker or huckup is a shapeshifter in German folklore.

Characteristics 
The Aufhocker is described in German legend as having an unidentifiable shape because it takes on shapes such as a goblin, a beautiful woman, a dead man, or various animals.

Legend 
The name Aufhocker means "leap upon".  This name is used because according to legend, the Aufhocker would leap upon the back of its victims which are often thieves and criminals that need to be taught a lesson. Other common targets in the Aufhocker legend are lone travelers and old women.

The Aufhocker is known as a pressure spirit or perching spirit because it jumps on the backs of travelers weighing them down with every step. The victims often die of exhaustion because the Aufhocker cannot be shaken off or killed. However, it is believed that travelers can free themselves if they are able to make it home before being killed. These attacks often occur in specific locations such as bridges, crossroads, springs, woods, on a path through a hollow, and cemeteries. 

The Aufhocker is a very dangerous theriomorph that is sometimes said to tear out the throats of humans instead of killing its victims from exhaustion.  The version of the Aufhocker that attacks victims' throats is linked to vampirism. In vampire mythology, sunlight and church bells are often used to frighten vampires away and may be applicable defenses against the Aufhocker also.

The Aufhocker legend is sometimes interpreted a metaphor for emotional burdens weighing on one’s shoulders no matter how hard they try to shake off their memories. The old woman that is a victim in some version of the legend represents time itself. The old woman is scared of getting older and has more memories to haunt her. Some other speculators say the Aufhocker legend is instead a materialization of Night Terrors.

Similar myths can be found in most of Europe. In the Charente-Maritime département of France, the Ganipote is depicted as having similar traits. In the formerly German-speaking parts of Bohemia, the same is attributed to the Uhaml.

The Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime Command is a unit within the Gangs and Organised Crime group of Specialist Crime & Operations within London's Metropolitan Police Service. The unit's main responsibility is to both investigate and take steps to prevent fraud, along with a wide range of other fraudulent crimes which require specialist knowledge and training to investigate. The unit was previously known as the Fraud Squad, or by its previous Specialist Operations designation, SO6.

History
Formed in 1946, the unit was originally known as Metropolitan and City Police Fraud Department or "C6 Branch". It was the first integrated cross-border, co-operative unit set up jointly between London's two police services; the City of London Police due to their expertise in business and stock market fraud, and the Metropolitan Police with their investigative experience.

The increasing complexity of business fraud as time progressed, and hence the lessened chances of securing a successful prosecution, saw the implementation of the Serious Fraud Office in 1987. Due to the Serious Fraud Office making C6 obsolete, the City of London Police and the Metropolitan Police reverted to having their own Fraud Squads. The MPS' was then called SO6. Staffed by about 140 detectives, specialised teams within the Squad included the Commercial Crimes Intelligence Bureau, a Financial Investigations Unit, the Fraud Prevention Office, a Surveillance Unit, a Crime Management Unit and a fledgling Computer Crime Unit.

In October 2000, the Fraud Squad was renamed Economic and Specialist Crime as part of the Specialist Crime Directorate, and its remit was expanded substantially to cover a wider range of financial and economic crime and fraud. Several other autonomous units, such as the Arts and Antiquities Squad, were merged with the new unit.
The Proactive Money Laundering Investigation Team, formed in 2003, has a remit to deal with high-level money laundering, and also are active in removing substantial amounts of criminal cash from the organised criminal networks working in and around London.

Structure
The Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime Command is made up of several teams and sub-units:
 Art and Antiques Unit
 The Branch Intelligence Unit
 The Criminal Finance Team (CFT)
 The Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit
 The Extradition and International Assistance Units
 The Financial Investigation Development Unit
 The Flying Squad
