INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN  
MARICOPA COUNTY and CITY OF BUCKEYE 
REGARDING MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE  
BASIC TRAINING ACADEMY 
C-50-21-____-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 SHERIFF’S OFFICE, 
“MCSO,” and the CITY OF BUCKEYE collectively referred to as the Parties.  Under A.R.S. § 11-
952, which authorizes public agencies to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements, the Parties 
enter into this IGA regarding City of Buckeye Police Department, “Buckeye PD,” participation in 
MCSO’s Sworn Basic Training Academy. 
 
Whereas MCSO offers Sworn Officer Basic Training Academies on an as-needed basis and 
generally has space for additional participants and whereas Buckeye PD does not have its own 
training academy and its sworn employee recruits are required to be trained according to the State 
of Arizona Peace Officer Standard Training (AZPOST). 
 
Therefore, Maricopa County on behalf of the MCSO and the City of Buckeye on behalf of Buckeye 
PD enter into the following Agreement effective October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2022, the 
Initial Term, upon Maricopa County Board of Supervisor approval. 
 
The MCSO:   
 
1. 
Will provide training space as available for Buckeye PD recruit officers to attend 
scheduled Sworn Basic Training Academies. 
  
2.

maintain the academic standings necessary to continue in the Academy class.   
 
3. 
Retains the right, in its sole discretion, to dismiss any recruit for training, academic, 
ethical or disciplinary standards applicable to all sworn officer training academy 
participants.  
 
4. 
Will provide Buckeye PD original individual training records for each Buckeye PD 
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 Buckeye PD recruits in the same manner as MCSO recruits for purposes 
of training, academics, ethics and discipline.    
 
6. 
Will require Buckeye PD to investigate Buckeye PD recruits should a situation arise 
for an Internal Affairs Investigation concerning the actions of a Buckeye PD recruit. 
 
7. 
Will bill Buckeye PD a non-refundable registration in the amount of $750, payable 
to Maricopa County, per Buckeye PD recruit.  
 
8. 
The MCSO will review its costs annually and, if necessary, process amendments 
to this Agreement for future increases, not later than April of each fiscal year, to be 
effective with the new fiscal year.

2. 
Will provide worker’s compensation insurance, salary, benefits,   
 
 
 
weapons, ammunition and uniforms for Buckeye PD recruits.

required immunizations and have undergone health related pre-requisites 
applicable MCSO academy attendees prior to the first day of training.  Proof of the 
preceding will be necessary for the participant’s records prior to the academy start. 
 
 
COVID-19:

immunized from COVID-19.  
 
 
4. 
Agrees to pay MCSO within 30 days of receipt of invoice.  
 
5. 
Accepts that there is no guarantee that any minimum number of candidates from 
the Buckeye PD will be accepted to attend the academy, because enrollment is 
based MCSO’s determination of appropriate space/resource availability and 
because MCSO candidates have enrollment priority.
