John,

Every February, we celebrate Black History Month and honor the sacrifices and accomplishments of African American leaders throughout our country’s history.

Here at MCSO, we are grateful for the diversity within our organization. I want to express my gratitude to our African American deputies, first responders, civil servants, and community members. Thank you for all you do to make Maricopa County a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

-- Sheriff Paul Penzone
