School Resource Officers

Our dedicated SROs ensure a safe and secure learning environment by maintaining an enforcement presence on campus and taking appropriate police action when needed. In addition to their law enforcement duties, SROs act as invaluable resources for the school's counseling and attendance staff. They routinely engage with students, providing support and assistance to those in crisis, fostering a sense of trust and safety within the school community.

Honor Guard

The Maricopa Police Department Honor Guard prides itself on celebrating the life and sacrifices made by the fallen officer, not the achievements of its own members. Our motto is what we live by and what we expect our members to abide by. All of the members have a strong commitment to this country, state, city, department and fellow officers to vow to always remember.
