INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN

MARICOPA COUNTY ON BEHALF OF THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
AND CITY OF PHOENIX FOR MCSO DETENTION OFFICER TRAINING ACADEMY

C-50-24- -X-00

This Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) is entered into by and between Maricopa County a
political subdivision of the State of Arizona on behalf of the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office,
(“MCSO’), and City of Phoenix, an Arizona Municipality, for Phoenix Police Department (“Phoenix

PD"), “Parties.”

Whereas MCSO conducts Detention Officer Training Academies on an as-needed basis and
regularly has sufficient space for additional participants, and whereas the Phoenix PD detention
recruits are required to be formally trained in an acceptable training program and the Phoenix 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 Phoenix PD detention recruit officers to attend scheduled Detention Officer
Training Academies.

Reserve the right in its sole discretion to decide whether the Phoenix PD recruits
maintain the academic standings necessary to continue in the Academy class.

Retain the right, in its sole discretion, to dismiss any recruit for training, academic,
ethical or disciplinary standards applicable to all Detention academy participants.

Provide Phoenix 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.

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

Require Phoenix PD to investigate its recruits should a situation arise for an
Internal Affairs Investigation concerning the actions of one of its recruits.

Bill Phoenix PD a non-refundable registration in the amount of $250 per registrant
after the first day of training.

Review its costs annually and process amendments to this Agreement for future
increases not later than April of each fiscal year, to be effective with the new fiscal
(July 1 to June 30) year.

Phoenix PD will:

1.

Accept that there is no guarantee that any minimum number of candidates from
the Phoenix PD will be able to attend the academy. Enrollment is limited to
space/resource availability and MCSO candidates have enrollment priority.

4. Ensure its employee participants have received infectious disease testing and

recognize a joint venture agreement, partnership or other formal business

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 any 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.

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
