Attached for your consideration is an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between the City of Mesa and the City of Apache Junction for cooperative law enforcement training operations. This agreement will allow both agencies to participate in a joint law enforcement activity including driving, firearms training, force/defensive tactics, and other related law enforcement exercises. Approval of this agreement will provide Apache Junction Police Department personnel with greater access to regional training opportunities and specialized facilities, while strengthening the partnership with the Mesa Police Department. The IGA is voluntary in nature and does not obligate either agency to provide or attend any specific training. The IGA will remain in effect through May 3, 2027, unless extended by mutual written agreement, and may be terminated by either party with 30 days’ written notice. It is recommended the council approve Resolution No. 26-25 which authorizes the mayor to execute the IGA.
