MCSO Schedule for Court-Ordered Training and Testing

Course materials are in the process of being developed by Randy Means, a police
practices consultant hired by MCSO to assist in the development of the training curricula, and
being reviewed and revised by Defendants and their counsel for Bias Free Policing (Class I),
Search and Seizure - 4th and 141h Amendment (Class 2), and Supervisor Training (Class 3).
Course outlines for these courses were previously submitted to the Court.
Training courses to this point have been developed for full "Live" instruction. However,
after a recent discussion with Mr. Means regarding the benefits of clarity, consistency and
testing standardization with Computer Based Training ("CBT"), the MCSO is exploring whether
to contract with Mr. Means to produce and develop CBT consistent with AZ POST standards for
instruction and testing, as well, with the understanding that any online training will not exceed
40% of the training hours.
The aforementioned courses can be taught to MCSO Deputies and Posse members within
120 days after approval of the course materials, relevant policies, and instructors, utilizing 8-10
hour training days and the maximum capacity of the MCSO training auditorium (160). Each
course, as well as the overall timeline for completion, is discussed below.
Classes 1and2: Bias Free Policing (12 hours) and Fourth Amendment (6 hours)
This training would be completely "Live." Each deputy (800) and posse member (1700)
would need to attend two 10-hour days (including an hour lunch). The MCSO training
auditorium has a maximum capacity of 160 persons. Therefore, a total of 40 days of instruction
( 16 2-day blocks for scheduled training and 4 additional 2-day blocks for make-ups) would be
required.
Even conducting such training six (6) days per week, as set forth below, this training
would require two (2) months after final approval of the course materials and instructors is
complete. The MCSO believes conducting this training at a more rapid pace or in larger groups
could adversely affect the quality of the training or the ability to receive and answer questions
from deputies and posse members.
Monday and Tuesday (0700-1700)
Wednesday and Thursday (1000-2000)

Case 2:07-cv-02513-GMS Document 675-1 Filed 04/10/14 Page 3 of 26

Class 3: Supervisor Training (6 hours)

Each of the MCSO's 150 sworn supervisors would need to attend one 8-hour day
(including an hour lunch and additional time for questions and flexibility) of training. This
training could be offered once per week for five (5) weeks (four scheduled classes and one
make-up class) after completion of Classes 1 and 2. Once again, the MCSO believes conducting
this training at a more rapid pace or in larger groups could adversely affect the quality of the
training or the ability to receive and answer questions from deputies and posse members.
This initial training during this 120-day period would be conducted primarily by the
following instructors:

Randy Means, Esq. - Curriculum vitae attached

Captain (Ret.) Greg Seidel - Curriculum vitae attached

Overall Timeline for Completion of Training

Once all the course materials, relevant policies, and instructors are approved, the MCSO
Training Division estimates that completion of Classes 1, 2, and 3 and the CBT would require
90-120 days, based upon the following schedule:

"

Day 0-10: Schedule Blocks 1, 2, & 3 at MCSO Training Center

Day 0-20: Schedule instructors for Blocks 1, 2, & 3 at MCSO Training Center
Day 0-30: Development of CBT material
Day 30-90: Course delivery
Day 90-120: Make-up courses (and re-testing, if necessary) for Classes 1-3
Subsequent Training

For new deputies and posse members, training for all three (3) of the aforementioned
classes can be offered once each month indefinitely at the MCSO's training facility. Trainers
for such classes will also be subject to Court approval.

Chief Deputy Gerard "Jerry" A. Sheridan began his career as an MCSO detention officer
in 1978, after serving as a volunteer Reserve Deputy in 1977. He became a sworn
Deputy in 1979, and advanced through the ranks until he was named the interim Chief
Deputy in 2010. He currently serves as the permanent Chief Deputy, appointed by the

Aside from his professional and scholastic accomplishments, he is most proud of his
