“There is no price on protecting lives, and deputies remain committed to using all the tools at their disposal to keep Maricopa County residents safe on the roads,” said Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone.

“We are grateful for GOHS’ continued partnership with MCSO through these grant opportunities that ultimately aid deputies in protecting our community.”
