This AGREEMENT is entered into by and between MARICOPA COUNTY, a political subdivision of
the State of Arizona on behalf of the SHERIFF’S OFFICE, “MCSO,” and the CITY OF GLENDALE,

authorizes public agencies to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements (“IGA”), the Parties enter
into this IGA regarding Sworn Basic Training Academy.

Whereas MCSO and Glendale offer components for Sworn Officer Basic Training Academy that
can be shared for mutual benefit, the Parties enter into this Agreement to be effective January 1,
2026. This is a non-financial agreement.

Parties agree to:

1. Provide training space at their respective locations for scheduled training academy
events.

2. Assign a number of dedicated staff to assist with training to include Sergeants and
RTOs for the duration of an academy as mutually determined and agreed upon by
training leadership from both parties.

3. Respect and adhere to decisions made by respective training leadership concerning
participant academic standards, and ethical or disciplinary standards applicable to all
sworn officer training academy participants.

4. Provide original individual training records for recruits upon completion of the Academy
or Components thereof upon termination of a recruit’s attendance at the Academy.

5. Maintain records of lesson plans, class rosters, and other documentation common to
the class that is consistent with the requirements of State law.

6. Treat recruits in the same manner as MCSO recruits for purposes of training,
academics, ethics and discipline.

7. Investigate their own recruits should a situation arise for an Internal Affairs
Investigation concerning the actions of their recruit.

8. Provide weapons, ammunition, uniforms and other training equipment and resources
for respective recruits and assigned training personnel.

9. Understand and agree that the curriculum will consist of the standard AZ POST training
program.

10. Follow chain of command protocol for the respective site at which the training is taking
place.

11. Indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the 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 Intergovernmental Agreement (hereinafter “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.

12. Acknowledge that under this IGA all employees and participants are the responsibility
of their respective hiring/employing agency and will not be considered an employee of
the other party and shall have no rights of merit, retirement, or personnel rules accrued
to the other party’s individual employees.

13. Removal from training is apart and independent from whether the impacted employee
is disciplined or terminated by the employing agency.

14. Be responsible for all salaries, wages, bonuses, retirement, withholdings, workman's
compensation, occupational disease compensation, unemployment compensation,
other employee benefits, and all taxes and premiums appurtenant thereto concerning
their own employees (trainers and participants) and shall save and hold the other
harmless with respect thereto.

15. Be responsible for their employees’ automobile liability. Automobile insurance
coverage follows the driver and the driver’s employing agency.
