Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (hereinafter "DEA"), and the Tequesta Police
Department ORI#0503100 (hereinafter "TPD"). The DEA is authorized to enter into this
cooperative agreement concerning the use and abuse of controlled substances under the
provisions of 21 U.S.C. § 873.
WHEREAS there is evidence that trafficking in narcotics and dangerous drugs exists in the
South Florida area and that such illegal activity has a substantial and detrimental effect on the
health and general welfare of the people of South Florida, the parties hereto agree to the
following:
1. The DEA West Palm Beach Task Force will perform the activities and duties described below:
a. disrupt the illicit drug traffic in the South Florida area by immobilizing targeted violators
and trafficking organizations;
b. gather and report intelligence data relating to trafficking in narcotics and dangerous drugs;
and
c. conduct undercover operations where appropriate and engage in other traditional methods
of investigation in order that the Task Force's activities will result in effective prosecution before
the courts of the United States and the State of Florida.
2. To accomplish the objectives of the DEA West Palm Beach Task Force, the TPD agrees to
detail (1) experienced officer to the DEA West Palm Beach Task Force for a period of not less
than two years. During this period of assignment, the TPD officer will be under the direct
supervision and control of DEA supervisory personnel assigned to the Task Force.
3. The TPD officer assigned to the Task Force shall adhere to DEA policies and procedures.
Failure to adhere to DEA policies and procedures shall be grounds for dismissal from the Task
Force.
4. The TPD officer assigned to the Task Force shall be deputized as Task Force Officers of DEA
pursuant to 21 U.S.C. Section 878.
5. To accomplish the objectives of the TPD Task Force, DEA will assign five (5) Special Agents
to the Task Force. TPD agrees to provide and maintain a vehicle for use for each of its assigned
Task Force Officers. DEA will also, subject to the availability of annually appropriated funds or
any continuing resolution thereof, provide necessary funds and equipment to support the
activities of the DEA Special Agents and one Task Force officer assigned to the Task Force. This
support will include: office space, office supplies, travel funds, funds for the purchase of
evidence and information, investigative equipment, training, and other support items.
6. During the period of assignment to the DEA West Palm Beach Task Force, the TPD will
remain responsible for establishing the salary and benefits, including overtime, of the officers
assigned to the Task Force, and for making all payments due them. DEA will, subject to
availability of funds, reimburse the TPD for overtime payment. Annual overtime for each state or
local law enforcement officer is capped at the equivalent of 25% of a GS-12, Step 1, of the
general pay scale for the rest of United States. Reimbursement for all types of qualified
expenses shall be contingent upon availability of funds and the submission of a proper request
for reimbursement which shall be submitted monthly or quarterly on a fiscal year basis, and
which provides the names of the investigators who incurred overtime for DEA during the
invoiced period, the number of overtime hours incurred, the hourly regular and overtime rates in
effect for each investigator, and the total cost for the invoiced period. TPD will bill overtime as
it is performed and no later than 60 days after the end of each quarter in which the overtime is
performed... Note: Task Force Officer's overtime "shall not include any costs for benefits,
such as retirement, FICA, and other expenses."
7. In no event will the TPD charge any indirect cost rate to DEA for the administration or
implementation of this agreement.
8. The TPD shall maintain on a current basis complete and accurate records and accounts of all
obligations and expenditures of funds under this agreement in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and instructions provided by DEA to facilitate on -site inspection
and auditing of such records and accounts.
9. The TPD shall permit and have readily available for examination and auditing by DEA, the
United States Department of Justice, the Comptroller General of the United States, and any of
their duly authorized agents and representatives, any and all records, documents, accounts,
invoices, receipts or expenditures relating to this agreement. The TPD shall maintain all such
reports and records until all audits and examinations are completed and resolved, or for a period
of six (6) years after termination of this agreement, whichever is sooner.
10. The TPD shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended, and all
requirements imposed by or pursuant to the regulations of the United States Department of
Justice implementing those laws, 28 C.F.R. Part 42, Subparts C, F, G, H and 1.
11. The TPD agrees that an authorized officer or employee will execute and return to DEA the
attached OJP Form 4061/6, Certification Regarding Lobbying; Department, Suspension and
Other Responsibility Matters; and Drug -Free Workplace Requirements. The TPD acknowledges
that this agreement will not take effect and no Federal funds will be awarded to the TPD by DEA
until the completed certification is received.
12. When issuing statements, press releases, requests for proposals, bid solicitations, and other
documents describing projects or programs funded in whole or in part with Federal money, the
TPD shall clearly state: (1) the percentage of the total cost of the program or project which will
be financed with Federal money and (2) the dollar amount of Federal funds for the project or
program.
2
13. The term of this agreement shall be effective from the date in paragraph number one until
September 30, 2026. This agreement may be terminated by either party on thirty days' advance
written notice. DEA's support to the Task Force, including reimbursement of overtime, is
subject to the availability of funds on a fiscal basis (October 1 through September 30 of the next
year). Billing for all outstanding obligations must be received by DEA within 60 days of the
date of termination of this agreement. DEA will be responsible only for obligations incurred by
TPD during the term of this agreement on a fiscal year basis, subject to the availability of funds.
