SaveMCSO

Rallying AZ taxpayers to end federal overreach in Maricopa County. Speech safeguarded by 1 Amendment & Pickering Case Law.

Who Created SaveMCSO

SaveMCSO was founded by a lifelong resident, taxpayer, and voter of Maricopa County who proudly calls this community home. I have dedicated my life to public service — first as a United States Marine, and for the past 21 years as a law enforcement professional with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. My career has included roles as a Detention Officer, Patrol Deputy, and for the past decade, Deputy Sergeant serving as both a frontline patrol supervisor and an Internal Affairs Investigator responsible for investigating allegations of law enforcement misconduct.

Through these experiences, I have gained firsthand insight into the effects of the Melendres litigation and how it has impacted the agency, its personnel, and the taxpayers who ultimately bear its costs. The opinions expressed through SaveMCSO are my own, shared solely as a private citizen, and not in any official capacity as an employee or peace officer.

This platform exists as an exercise of First Amendment rights, protected under the Constitution and supported by Pickering v. Board of Education, 391 U.S. 563 (1968), which affirms that public employees retain the right to speak out on matters of public concern as private citizens.

SaveMCSO is not about politics — it’s about accountability, transparency, and fairness. It’s about ensuring that Maricopa County residents and taxpayers are not indefinitely burdened by unchecked judicial oversight or for-profit monitoring systems. It’s about protecting our community, our agency, and our future — so that our children aren’t left to pay the price of perpetual litigation.

Law enforcement should be nonpartisan, community-focused, and centered on justice and safety for all people of Maricopa County. That is the mission of SaveMCSO.

IF COMPLIANCE ISN’T ENOUGH, WHAT IS Judge Snow?!

The only consistent person involved in the Melendres case is you! Even Arpaio was gone a decade ago!

Yesterday’s Melendres ruling raises a question every Maricopa County taxpayer should be asking:

What exactly is the finish line?

MCSO has achieved 100% Phase 1 compliance. The policies and leadership responsible for the original constitutional violations are long gone. Multiple sheriffs have led this agency since then. Even the United States supported substantial relief from these orders.

Yet the Court denied MCSO’s request for relief.

So I have some questions.

If Full and Effective Compliance doesn’t result in ending oversight of compliant provisions, what does “Full and Effective Compliance” actually mean?

How can MCSO prove it can operate without the Monitor when it is never permitted to operate without the Monitor?

If statistical disparities alone do not establish intentional racial discrimination—as the Court itself acknowledges—what evidence establishes that today’s MCSO is intentionally discriminating?

And while the federal court continues demanding accountability from MCSO, taxpayers should demand accountability for the Monitor itself.

Records obtained after Judicial Watch pursued the Monitor billing records raise questions that should concern every taxpayer.

One November 2025 Warshaw invoice totaled $428,744.42, including 1,305.9 professional-service hours billed at $300 per hour. The public-facing invoice does not identify employee-by-employee time entries supporting those 1,305.9 hours. Thank you @JudicialWatch

Yet taxpayers were ordered to pay.

The records also show repeated lodging, meal per diem and mileage reimbursements for Chief Sherry Kiyler, whom Judicial Watch identified as living in Chandler. Some invoices specifically describe “Roundtrip Mileage to Phoenix, Chief Kiyler” and “Roundtrip Mileage for Chief Kiyler to MCSO Offices.”

So why were Maricopa County taxpayers also paying for local hotel rooms and per diem?

Maybe there is a legitimate explanation.

Then show us.

Where are the written business-necessity approvals? What travel policy authorized the expense? Who reviewed it? Were any Monitor charges rejected or reduced? What documentation did the Court examine before determining these invoices were “reasonable”?

That is the problem.

This is not an accusation of fraud or corruption. It is a demand for transparency and equal accountability.

If a federal court is going to compel Maricopa County taxpayers to fund a private monitoring operation year after year, then the public deserves to see enough information to independently determine whether those expenses are necessary, reasonable and properly authorized.

The federal government demands that MCSO show its work.

The people should be allowed to demand the same from the federal oversight system.

After more than a decade, hundreds of millions of dollars in overall compliance-related public expenditures, multiple sheriffs and extensive institutional reform:

What is the finish line?

What exactly are taxpayers paying for?

And if compliance isn’t enough to end federal oversight—

tell the people you are supposed to serve what is? Your Honor…..?

I think the voters of the State of Arizona need to know about one of your constituents who voiced their concerns to you in your Office about Federal Court Overreach on our elected offices. How that evolved into triggering a House Judiciary Oversight Committee Hearing. And later on how you introduced Federal Legislation to protect the millions of residents tax dollars from being abused by the Federal Courts.

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

@JudicialWatch @TomFitton What is the point in Voting in Maricopa County when the Federal Court has hijacked the peoples office of Sheriff.

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

@RealSheriffJoe What we need is the 4.7 million taxpayers to take notice that Federal Judge Snow has ordered nearly 300 million of our tax dollars because he hated you. Snows Monitor has made over 100 times more money than all the Victims combined. How is this fraud still ongoing!!!

It’s the Monitors report, they can write whatever they want to control the narrative to help their multi million dollar contract. Please think of the intent. Please look into this more, even if oversight and complaince is still needed why can’t the Attorney Generals Office do it as they are already tax funded. Monitor Robert Warshaw uses these reports and tactics to bankrupt cities like Detroit and Oakland, now Maricopa County.

Additionally, IMO Judge Snow has completely overreached and is acting Ministerial by ordering exactly the intricacies of how MCSO is ran and the mere fact that the Judge and Monitor have to approve transfers screams a Seperation of Powers Issue that the Judge has hijacked the executive branch elected office of the Sheriff. Seperation of Powers is pretty clear as well as the 10th Ammendment for States Rights. For some reason the Judge doesn’t care about the law, or the 4.7 million taxpayers, otherwise he would have found a more fiscally sound solution instead of his monitor and then sealing the financial records from public view since 2015.

Lastly, assuming MCSO did messed up things. Why is it okay to lets this drag on for over a decade. The fix needs to happen now, but once again the Judge has allowed this to go on and metastasize to the level it’s at now.

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

@azcentral How is that even possible when the Judge and Monitor are the only ones who can place the Internal Affairs Commander and the only ones who can place the Appointing Discipline Authority. Check the Monitors “facts”

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

@CorporateP2025 @Rachel1Mitchell Because he is acting on behalf of a Federal Judge with Judicial Immunity. The laws they put it protect them from wrongdoing.

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

My biggest argument is the cost to the taxpayer. There are other entities already tax funded who can oversee compliance and ensure transparency to the people. The Attorney Generals Office, the FBI or how about AZDPS. But why would Judge Snow select an out of state for profit monitoring team and then seal the monitors invoices from public view since 2015. It has been over a decade and we are on our county’s 4th Sheriff since Apraio. The taxpayers have no control over this since the federal judge has taken over and dictated how we our money is spent and doesn’t care that Arizona has States Rights under the 10th amendment.

The Melendres litigation has 5 victims that were compensated a decade ago at 266k. Yet the monitor has made over 30 million and counting and the judge seals the records. What is really going on. And assuming there was serious misconduct on the part of MCSO, why would we as the public tolerate this dragging on for over a decade. Fix it now and dont break the bank when there are other options. #mustbeakickback#donttrustthenarrative

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

We need @RepAndyBiggsAZ Monitor Accountability Act to make it through the Senate. In 2008 we had 800 Deputies doing the work of 1000, now we have less than 600 despite our population growing almost a million people. Local law enforcement has been gutted due to the Federal Courts forcing our tax dollars to fund monitoring teams and drag out progress for their own gain bleeding the people of not just their tax money but also their safety. #grift #help #arizona

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

@joeroganhq We definitely don’t want his rhetoric here in Arizona

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

@DeAngelisCorey @Jen70884346 When are they ever going to actually advocate for teachers pay and not push party agenda. I mean Ducey was already going to ensure better pay then the unions forced the teachers into the Red4Ed movement to for socialist agenda, not teacher pay and working conditions.

[SaveMCSO @SaveMcso]

MCSO tried to do something about immigration issues in our community and the Federal Court chose to destroy the Agency. In 2008 we had 800 Deputies doing the work of 1000, now despite Maricopa County gaining almost 1 million people we have less than 600 Deputies, with about 50% staffing on the road assuming you are using 2008 models and not 2026 reality. #federaljudgesruincommunities #Statesrights

@TedNugent The war on cops is real and never ended. We are suffering here in Arizona as well.
