Title
Authorization to Enter into Agreement with the Department of Public Safety for Facility Access and Usage of the Phoenix Regional Police Academy (Ordinance S-50571)
Description
Request retroactive authorization for the City Manager, or his designee, to allow the Police Department to enter into an agreement with the Department of Public Safety (DPS), to have access and usage of the Phoenix Regional Police Academy (PRPA).
Report
Summary
The DPS seeks to use the PRPA for scheduled events such as driver training, training at the tactical training village, physical fitness activities, usage of onsite gym, training involving defensive tactics, firearms training and classrooms. Allowing DPS access to the PRPA will foster mutual collaboration between DPS and the Phoenix Police Department. The benefits of mutual collaboration include sharing resources and expertise regarding the various training programs held at the PRPA. The agencies can enhance their effectiveness with the training of recruits and sworn officers. Denying DPS access to the PRPA may prevent the two agencies from taking advantage of each other’s training expertise, skills, and resources.
Contract Term
The agreement shall be in effect retroactive as of Nov. 14, 2023 for period of one year.
Financial Impact
There will be no financial impact for this agreement.
