employee is disciplined or terminated by the Participating Agency.

of training and academics. If a Participating Agency employee is suspected of

provided by the Participating Agency’s personnel. The Parties further 
understand and agree that Scottsdale will determine the appropriate location 
necessary to support training programs which, in part, satisfy Scottsdale

may require additional time and resources, by way of separate agreements 
will be the sole responsibility of the requesting Participating Agency. 
2.5.5. Scottsdale will regularly communicate with the Participating Agency on 
issues that may affect the ability of a Participating Agency’s employee to 
successfully complete the training program, including, but not limited to 
academics, physical fitness, discipline, and requirements of the Arizona State
