Project Name: MCSO HQ Emergency Operations Room (EOR)
Grant Award Request: $75,000
Please provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC
Grant program.
The proposed project for this grant is the Emergency Operations Center/Room (EOR) at the
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Headquarters (HQ). The purpose of this project is
Emergency Management. MCSO is requesting to purchase needed equipment for our EOR in
order to update its capabilities to better coordinate and share intelligence information among
Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies, including fire personnel, during real-time
natural and/or man-made disasters/events. This equipment will permit any collected
information to produce actionable intelligence for any situation regionally within Maricopa
County, as well as throughout the State of Arizona. The specifics of the project include video
teleconferencing with the Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) of the state, counties, and
municipalities of Arizona, as well as the Arizona Counter-Terrorism Information Center (ACTIC).
This will allow better communication between other agency Incident Commanders throughout
the state, as well as assist with managing numerous incidents and the large number of teams
and personnel involved in the emergency response to the events. With a functioning EOR,
MCSO will be prepared to manage the response from law enforcement, fire services, and other
entities to any natural and/or man-made disaster/event. The EOR will allow the National
Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS) to be in place
and operational for any sized incident within Maricopa County and/or the State of Arizona. The
target population for this project would be the over four million residents of Maricopa County
and the state of Arizona, specifically those affected by our County’s critical infrastructures.
MCSO is responsible for the law enforcement responses to much of the critical infrastructure in
the County, to include: The Salt River Project and the Central Arizona Project, Chase Field (Home
of the AZ Diamondbacks), and the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Specifically, any

natural/man-made disaster or event at any of these locations would affect not only Maricopa
County, but the State of Arizona. As part of the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Central
Region, MCSO’s Counter-Terrorism Unit is comprised of full-time Terrorism Liaison Officers
(TLOs). The critical mission of the TLO program is to increase the capability of emergency
response by providing a robust communication network which will allow responders to
immediately draw upon investigative and intelligence resources regionally and statewide. Also,
as part of the UASI Central Region Rapid Response Team (RRT), MCSO has a full RRT and a
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) RRT, which are both
partnered with Phoenix Police and Fire Departments, as well as Daisy Mountain Fire Department,
and makes all MCSO’s assets regionally available throughout the Central Region. Because of
this, the EOR will continue to be available to any other agencies/jurisdictions who do not have
these needed capabilities. This specifically includes any joint operations with other
agencies/jurisdictions for major events, including assisting other entities during major flooding
emergencies and Points of Distribution (POD) for major medical situations, such as biological
and environmental terrorism and infectious diseases.

1. $75,000 of the $137,000 project will complete the backbone infrastructure needed for
video and networking capabilities for connection and teleconferencing with other
jurisdictions, allowing us to bring in Emergency Management systems from County and
State facilities.
2. The remaining $62,000 of the original $137,000 project would provide needed audio
conferencing, along with control switches, to complete the remainder of the project, thus
bringing the EOR into full operational capability.
