Maricopa County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Paul Penzone and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office are committed to ongoing and sustainable relationships with our community and local businesses. We aim to build relationships fostered in mutual respect that enhance public safety service. In order to facilitate these goals, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office established the Community Outreach Division (COrD.) COrD both facilitates and coordinates a variety of community outreach programs and events. These programs help maintain positive relations between the Office and the community it serves.

As part of its mission, the COrD Division currently oversees three Community Advisory Boards, including the Hispanic, African American, and LGBTQ Advisory Boards. The mission of each Board is to serve as a liaison between the Sheriff's Office and each community. The Board provides actionable recommendations that best advocate for procedural justice in law enforcement, diversity, and community relations.

The COrD is an out-going team which includes COrD Director James Collins, Supervisor Ron Gomez, Officer Isidro Caro, Sergeant Laketta Gunn-Roman, Deputy Hector Martinez, and Office Specialist Sofia Murta.

COrD members can be contacted at cat@mcso.maricopa.gov, (602) 876-1508, or by mail, or in person, at 550 W. Jackson St., Phoenix, AZ 85003.

The Community Outreach Division is a team dedicated to fostering relationships with our community partners. The COrD team would love to be at your next parade, event, meeting, or carnival. The team is available, upon request, seven days a week.

The overarching goals of COrD efforts include:
