be trained according to the AZPOST.

Offices commencing June 29, 2015, through June 30, 2018.

training, academic, ethical or disciplinary standards applicable to all police
academy participants.
4. Will provide GCSO original individual training records for each GCSO recruit
upon completion of the MCSO Academy or termination of the recruit’s
attendance at the MCSO Academy. MCSO will maintain records of lesson plans,
class rosters, and other documentation common to the class as a whole,
consistent with the requirements of State law.
5. Will treat GCSO recruits in the same manner as MCSO recruits for purposes of
training, academics, ethics and discipline.
6. Will require GCSO to investigate GCSO recruits should a situation arise for an

7. Will bill Gila County a non-refundable registration in the amount of $500, payable
to Maricopa County, per Gila County registrant after the first full day of the
academy.
8. Notice is given that pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-511 the County may cancel any
Contract without penalty or further obligation within three years after execution of

any other party to the Contract in any capacity or consultant to any other party of
the Contract with respect to the subject matter of the Contract. Additionally,

1. Agrees to provide instructors or administrative assistance to the MCSO
Academy, upon request by the MCSO.
2. Agrees to pay $500 per registrant.

weapons, ammunition and uniforms for GCSO recruits.

other Party (as "indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, losses, liability,
costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "claims") arising out of the negligent performance of this IGA, but
only to the extent that such claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to
the indemnitee are caused by the act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or other
fault of the indemnitor, its officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers.
2. This Agreement is not intended to constitute, create, give rise to, or otherwise
recognize a joint venture agreement, partnership or other formal business
association or organization of any kind, and the rights and obligations of the
parties shall be only those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

1986, as amended from time to time, for all employees performing work under

shall keep a record of the verification for the duration of the employee’s
employment or at least three years, whichever is longer. I-9 forms are available

contractor and subcontractor employee documents performing work under this
Agreement to verify compliance with this Agreement. Each party and its
subcontractors shall be given reasonable notice of the other party’s intent to

Nothing set out herein shall make any subcontractor an agent or employee of
either party.
