21 The State must disclose not only “information in the possession or control of members of the prosecutor’s staff,” but also that within the possession or control “of any other persons who have participated in the investigation or evaluation of the ease.” Ariz. R.Crim. P. 15.1(d) (1993). Thus, although the requested information was in the control of the Phoenix Police Department Crime Lab rather than the prosecutor’s office, “a law enforcement agency investigating a criminal action operates as an arm of the prosecutor for purposes of obtaining information that falls within the required disclosure provisions of Rule 15.1.” Carpenter v. Superior Court, 176 Ariz. 486, 490, 862 P.2d 246, 250 (App. 1993); see also In re Brown, 17 Cal.4th 873, 72 Cal.Rptr.2d 698, 952 P.2d 715, 718-19 (1998) (<HOLDING>). ¶ 22 Rule 15.7 of the Arizona Rules of
