Acquisition and maintenance of air support assets
-
Personnel and equipment funding to strengthen operational capacity
-
Infrastructure improvements at CCSO facilities

Community outreach programs supporting public safety
This philanthropic partnership has strengthened the Sheriff’s Office’s ability to address challenges associated with border security and public safety, benefitting residents throughout the County. The Board of Supervisors seeks to formally recognize these transformative contributions and express its appreciation to Howard G. Buffett and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation for their ongoing commitment to the people of Cochise County.
