Overview

Mission

The organization is a youth based in training and educational to assist 14 to 18 year old youth in learning about law enforcement procedures and practices. The mcso cadets instills ethical development for those who may be interested in a law enforcement career.

What it reported doing in 2025

The maricopa county sheriff's office cadet program is a community-based policing program that is designed to educate and engage young men and women in law enforcement functions, whether they decide to enter the field or not. Our cadet program teaches the understanding of leadership, responsibility, and accountability, and other fundamental concepts that will enable youth to be successful in life. As a cadet, young adults have the opportunity to assist the maricopa county sheriff's office. Cadets receive specialized law enforcement training, attend weekly meetings and volunteer to perform important community services. Along the way, they learn to work as a team, they gain leadership skills, and they serve the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
