Agenda Item Text:

Approve Amendment 2 to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Cochise College, Sierra Vista Police Department, and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office to continue operating the Southeast Arizona Law Enforcement Training Academy (SEALETA), effective July 24, 2023, through May 31, 2024.

Background:

This is the second amendment to the original agreement, signed June 6th, 2023.  This amendment supersedes the last. It is the result of changes to the AZPOST curriculum, the length of the spring academy, and moving the academy from the Douglas campus to the Sierra Vista campus. The academy is extended one week, until May 30th, 2024, due to the curriculum change.

Moving the academy from Douglas to Sierra Vista impacted housing.  The Sierra Vista campus does not have dorms, therefore off-campus housing was coordinated by the college. Those changes and costs are updated in this amendment. The fiscal impact is unknown but anticipated to be negligible. 
 

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

If approved, the three entities will move forward with the upcoming academy class to train recruits to be Arizona certified law enforcement officers. 

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

It will be detrimental to local law enforcement agencies regarding the hiring and training of potential officers. It would also force local agencies to seek outside training academies for their officers at a greater cost to the respective agency. 

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

Return one fully executed amendment to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, Sierra Vista Police Department and Cochise College.
