MARICOPA COUNTY BY AND THROUGH
THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
AND CITY OF BUCKEYE
BY AND THROUGH THE
CITY OF BUCKEYE POLICE DEPARTMENT
FOR MCSO DETENTION OFFICER TRAINING ACADEMY
C-50-21- ____ -X-00
This Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) is entered into by and between Maricopa County a
political subdivision of the State of Arizona by and through the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office,
(“MCSO”), and City of BUCKEYE, an Arizona Municipal Corporation by and through the City of
BUCKEYE Police Department (“BUCKEYE PD”) collectively referred to as the “Parties” and
individually as the “Party”.
Whereas MCSO conducts Detention Officer Training Academies on an as-needed basis and
regularly has sufficient space for additional participants, and whereas the BUCKEYE PD detention
recruits are required to be formally trained in an acceptable training program and the BUCKEYE
PD does not have its own detention or corrections training academy, the Parties enter into this IGA.
The Parties Agree:
Term:
This IGA shall have an initial term beginning November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2022 and is
effective when signed by the Parties. Following the initial term, this IGA will automatically renew
for up to two, one-year terms unless canceled or terminated.
The MCSO:
1. Will provide training space as available for BUCKEYE PD detention recruit officers
to attend scheduled Detention Officer Training Academies.
2. Reserves the right in its sole discretion to decide whether the BUCKEYE PD
recruits maintain the academic standings necessary to continue in the Academy
class.
3. Retains the right, in its sole discretion, to dismiss any recruit for training, academic,
ethical or disciplinary standards applicable to all Detention academy participants.
4. Will provide BUCKEYE PD original individual training records for each of its
recruits upon completion of the MCSO Academy or termination of a recruit’s
attendance at the MCSO Academy.
5. Will treat BUCKEYE PD recruits in the same manner as MCSO recruits for
purposes of training, academics, ethics and discipline.
6. Will require BUCKEYE PD to investigate its recruits should a situation arise for an
Internal Affairs Investigation concerning the actions of one of its recruits.
7. Will bill BUCKEYE PD non-refundable registration in the amount of $250 per
registrant beginning November 1, 2020.

8. Will review its costs annually and process amendments to this Agreement for
future increases not later than April of each fiscal year, to be effective with the new
fiscal year.
City of BUCKEYE:
1. Accepts that there is no guarantee that any minimum number of candidates from
the BUCKEYE PD will be accepted to attend the academy, because enrollment is
based MCSO’s determination of appropriate space/resource availability and
because MCSO candidates have enrollment priority.
2. Understands and agrees that the curriculum will consist of the standard MCSO
training program for MCSO and that the curriculum shall focus on the policies and
procedures of the MCSO.
3. Agrees to pay amounts cited in 7., above per registrant within 2 weeks of billing;
and make amounts payable to Maricopa County; and reference “MCSO Detention
Training Academy” in the transaction detail.
4. Agrees to pay for all employer related costs for its employees as acknowledged in
the Independent Contractors section, below.
5. Agrees to provide worker’s compensation insurance, salary, benefits, for
BUCKEYE PD recruits.
6. Agrees to provide applicable items for BUCKEYE PD recruits depending on the
requirements for the detention basic training.
7. Will ensure its employee participants have received infectious disease testing and
required immunizations and have undergone health related pre-requisites
applicable to MCSO academy attendees prior to the first day of training. Proof of
the preceding will be necessary for the participant’s records prior to the academy
start.
COVID-19:
Will ensure that registrants are tested for COVID-19 with negative results
before the start of the academy within safe time parameters specified by
MCSO Training.
Will ensure that required subsequent COVID-19 testing for current
academy participants occurs as directed by MCSO Training until a vaccine
is available. CDC guidelines will be followed for any participants testing
positive.
When a vaccine is available:
Will ensure its current academy participants and future registrants are
immunized from COVID-19.
