(“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 referred to as “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. 
Party Responsibilities 
The MCSO will: 
1.
Provide training space as available after MCSO’s training space needs have been met
for Buckeye PD detention recruit officers to attend scheduled Detention Officer Training
Academies.
2.
Reserve 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.
Reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to dismiss any recruit for training, academic,
ethical or disciplinary standards applicable to all Detention academy participants.
4.
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.
Treat Buckeye PD recruits in the same manner as MCSO recruits for purpose of training,
academics, ethics and discipline.
6.
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.
Bill Buckeye PD a non-refundable registration in the amount of $250 per registrant after
the first day of training.

8. Review its costs annually and process amendments to this Agreement for future 
increases no later than April of each fiscal year, to be effective with the new fiscal ( July 
1 to June 30) year. 
Buckeye PD will: 
1. Accept that there is no guarantee that any minimum number of candidates from the 
Buckeye PD will be able to attend the academy. Enrollment is limited to space/resource 
availability and MCSO candidates have enrollment priority. 
 
2. Understand and agree 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. Provide applicable items for Buckeye PD recruits depending on the requirements for the 
detention basic training. 
 
4. Pay amounts cited in 7, above per registrant within 30 days of receipt of invoice and 
make amounts payable to Maricopa County; and reference “MCSO Detention Training 
Academy” in the transaction detail.

Party (as “indemnitee”) and MCSO affiliates 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, affiliates or volunteers. 
 
3. 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 right and obligations of the Parties shall be only those 
expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
 
4. Parties acknowledge that under this IGA no employee or participant of the Buckeye PD 
is to be considered a County employee, and that no rights of County merit, County 
retirement, or County personnel rules shall accrue to such individual. Buckeye PD shall

workman’s compensation, other employee benefits, and all taxes and premiums

harmless with respect thereto.
