Background Information
The Metropolitan Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for ensuring the safety of the participants and of the public during the presidential inaugural events. As a result of the current threat level in the Nation’s Capital and the on-going development of intelligence, the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., requested the assistance of the North Port Police Department during the 2017 Presidential Inauguration.

The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to assist the Metropolitan Police Department. The MOU will be effective from January 15, 2017, through January 21, 2017.
The MOU provides law enforcement assistance to the Metropolitan Police Department by having City of North Port Police Department sworn personnel serve as members of the Presidential Inauguration Task Force. The Metropolitan Police Department will reimburse the costs associated with this MOU for the North Port Police Department personnel assigned, including salary and fringes, air travel, lodging, ground travel, and per diem; thus, there is no fiscal impact to the City.
