Summary

The City of Phoenix does not operate a Detention Officer Training Academy, however, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office does conduct a Detention Officer Training Academy. To ensure Phoenix Police Detention Officers are properly trained, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Detention Officer Academy will be used to train newly hired Phoenix Police Detention Officers.
If approved, the agreement will be in effect for a two-year period, with two automatic one-year extensions.
Contract Term
The agreement shall be in effect retroactive as of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026, with up to two additional one-year terms.
