Fluctuating public perceptions about the law enforcement industry were making careers less appealing and recruiting more challenging. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) partnered with Davidson Belluso to develop a comprehensive strategic marketing plan to elevate the MCSO brand and increase recruitment for key positions. Our multifaceted approach included a thorough review of existing strategies, in-depth analysis of historical recruitment data, and extensive interviews with MCSO staff across various departments. We leveraged media profiles and usage insights to craft a targeted campaign that would rebuild trust, inspire action, and increase applications.

Marketing Objectives

  • Develop a nationwide marketing and media strategy to elevate the MCSO brand, build awareness, and drive prospective employees to apply
  • Emphasize the positive aspects of law enforcement to counter a nationwide decline in support
  • Rebrand and relaunch MCSO, creating a unified look, feel, and voice
  • Increase the number of applicants received for key positions
