Recommended Action

Background Information
The OCDETF works in conjunction with Federal Agencies on investigations that cross jurisdictional boundaries. OCDETF has a program designed to reimburse State and Local law enforcement agencies for the overtime costs often incurred by law enforcement officers while assisting in these types of investigations. The OCDETF Agreement allows for those overtime costs to be reimbursed.
The terms of the OCDETF Agreement identify a broad estimate of qualified investigative overtime hours anticipated to be reimbursable to the Department over the course of the investigation. Reimbursements are subject to availability of OCDETF program funds and will be paid for actual documented overtime hours worked.
The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) FY 2023 Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is legally correct as to form.

Leverage outside financial resources and support through partnerships and grants.
