trained according to the State of Arizona Peace Officer Standard Training (“AZPOST”).

academics, ethics and discipline.

refundable registration in the amount of $1,500, payable to Maricopa County, per SRPD
recruit.

future increases, not later than April or each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30), to be effective

program for MCSO, including MCSO’s policies and procedures.

MCSO Sworn Training Academy.

3. Pay MCSO within 30 days of receipt of invoice.
