COUNCIL GOALS:
• Improve public safety by increasing operational efficiency, visibility and availability.
• Concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by establishing partnerships and positive working relationships with other public agencies providing services to residents and local businesses.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana Police Department often works cooperatively with other agencies sharing information and assisting with operations to derive the maximum benefit to the City from Officers’ efforts.
This agreement will assign one Fontana Police Officer to the Task Force. The FBI will provide reimbursement for overtime of the assigned officer based on the Federal fiscal year (October 1 - September 30). The Officer will work with the FBI Special Agents to accomplish the Task Force objectives. Some of those objectives are:
• Gather and report intelligence data relating to violent crime
• 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 California
Staff recommends approving this agreement and renewing it annually as it will benefit the city in aiding in the reduction of violent crimes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Increase revenue budget 10140231.6483 in the amount of $3,229 and appropriate $3,229 to expenditure budget 10140231.7113 for the period ending September 30, 2022. Budget forms will be submitted to the Budget Office with the First Quarter Budget Report.
