INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN 
MARICOPA COUNTY ON BEHALF OF THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE 
AND 
CITY OF TEMPE 
FOR MCSO DETENTION OFFICER TRAINING ACADEMY 
C-50-25-___-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 Tempe, an Arizona Municipal Corporation by and through the City of Tempe 
Police Department (“Tempe 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 Tempe PD detention 
recruits are required to be formally trained in an acceptable training program and the Tempe 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 Tempe PD detention recruit officers to attend scheduled Detention Officer Training 
Academies. 
 
2. Reserve the right in its sole discretion to decide whether the Tempe 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 Tempe 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 Tempe PD recruits in the same manner as MCSO recruits for purpose of training, 
academics, ethics and discipline. 
 
6. Require Tempe PD to investigate its recruits should a situation arise for an Internal 
Affairs Investigation concerning the actions of one of its recruits. 
 
7. Bill Tempe 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. 
Tempe PD will: 
1. Accept that there is no guarantee that any minimum number of candidates from the 
Tempe 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 Tempe 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. 
General Provisions 
1. This IGA shall have an initial 2-year term beginning July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026.  
Following initial term, this IGA will automatically renew for up to two, one-year terms 
unless cancelled or terminated. 
 
2. Each Party (as “indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other 
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 Tempe 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. Tempe PD shall 
have total responsibility for all salaries, wages, bonuses, retirement, withholdings, 
workman’s compensation, other employee benefits, and all taxes and premiums 
appurtenant thereto concerning such individuals and shall save and hold MCSO 
harmless with respect thereto.

5. Each Party to this Agreement warrants compliance with the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (INA using E-verify) and all other federal immigration laws and regulations related to 
the Immigration status of its employees and A.R.S. §23-214(A). Each party shall obtain 
statements from its subcontractors certifying compliance and shall furnish the 
statements to the other Party upon request. These warranties shall remain in effect 
through the term of this Agreement.  Each Party and its subcontractors shall also 
maintain Employment Eligibility Verification forms (I-9) as required by the Immigration 
Reform and Control Act of 1986, as amended from time to time, for all employees 
performing work under this Agreement and verify employee compliance using the E-
verify system and 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 for download at USCIS.GOV.  Each Party retains the legal right to inspect 
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 inspect and shall make 
the documents available at the time and date specified.  Should either Party find that 
the other Party or any of its subcontractors are not in compliance; such non-
compliance may be considered a material breach of this Agreement and may pursue all 
remedies allowed by law.  Nothing set out herein shall make any subcontractor an 
agent or employee of either Party. 
 
6. Each Party shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, executive orders, rules, 
regulations, standards, and codes of the federal, state, and local government whether 
specifically referenced herein.  The Parties agree that there will be no discrimination as 
to race, sex, religion, color, age, creed, or national origin regarding obligations, work 
and services performed under the terms of any contract ensuing from this engagement. 
The Parties comply with the Executive Order No. 11246, entitled “Equal Employment 
Opportunity”, and as amended by Executive Order No. 11375, as supplemented by the 
Department of Labor Regulations (41 CFR, Part 60).

reasonable times to inspection and audit by the State of Arizona for five (5) years after 
completion of this Agreement.  Upon request, Party shall produce original of all such 
records. 
 
8. Any litigation arising from the agreement or the performance thereof will be decided in

Party by mailing or e-mailing the other Party notice of termination within (30) days prior

to the effective date of said termination or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in 
writing.  If a Party decides to terminate this IGA, the Parties shall consult prior to the 
date of termination to ensure termination on the most economical and equitable terms.  
The Parties agree that anu such termination shall not become effective with respect to 
the current recruits then enrolled in a training rotation until the recruits’ training is 
completed if MCSO continues to have sufficient staffing and other resources to 
continue the training until that date. 
 
11. Either party has the right to terminate this IGA without liability to the non-terminating 
party by delivering to the non-terminating party written notice of termination at least 
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of said termination or as otherwise agreed to 
by the Parties in writing.  
 
12. Either party has the right to terminate this IGA upon twenty-four (24) hour notice when it 
is deemed the health or welfare of the service recipients is endangered.

however, there shall be no obligation to refund any monies representing tuition for 
participants who have attended the first day of training. 
 
14. Termination or suspension of this IGA by either party shall not terminate or otherwise 
affect the obligations of the parties to provide indemnification and to maintain and 
permit inspection of records as provided herein. 
 
15. Notice is given that pursuant to A.R.S. §38-511 the Parties may cancel any contract

negotiating, securing, drafting, or creating the contract on behalf of the Parties from 
either Party to the contract arising as a result of the Contract.
