Appendix F
STATE AND LOCAL HIDTA TASK FORCE AGREEMENT
This agreement is made this 1 day of October 2019, between the United States Department of
Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (hereinafter "DEA"), and the Tukwila Police
Department (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 Greater
King County area and that such illegal activity has a substantial and detrimental effect on the
health and general welfare of the people of Washington, the parties hereto agree to the following:
1. The Seattle Enforcement Group D-22 Task Force will perform the activities and duties
described below:
a. disrupt the illicit drug traffic in the Greater King County 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 Washington.
2. To accomplish the objectives of the Seattle Enforcement Group D-22 Task Force, the TPD
agrees to detail (1) experienced officer(s) to the Seattle Enforcement Group D-22 Task Force for
a period of not less than two years. During this period of assignment, the TPD officers will be
under the direct supervision and control of DEA supervisory personnel assigned to the task force.
3. The TPD officers assigned to the task force shall adhere to all DEA policies and procedures.
Failure to adhere to DEA policies and procedures shall be grounds for dismissal from the task
force.
4. The TPD officers assigned to the task force shall be deputized as task force officers of DEA
pursuant to 21 USC 878.
10/2019
5. To accomplish the objectives of the Seattle Enforcement Group D-22 Task Force DEA will
assign (3) Special Agents to the task force. TPD and DEA anticipate that funding of the Task
Force may be provided by HIDTA to cover costs to include: office space, travel funds, office
supplies, purchase of evidence and information, investigative equipment, training and other
support items. HIDTA funding is subject to annual approval of the HIDTA Executive Board and
to annually appropriated funds for the HIDTA program.
6. During the period of assignment to the Seattle Enforcement Group D-22 Task Force the TPD
will remain responsible for establishing the salaries and benefits, including overtime, of the TPD
officers assigned to the task force and for making all payments due them. Funding for
reimbursement to the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team "VNET" on behalf of the Tukwila
Police Department for overtime incurred by Task Force officers may come from HIDTA subject
to annual approval of the HIDTA Executive Board and to annually appropriated funds for the
HIDTA program. This does not exclude the possibility of overtime reimbursement funding from
additional sources. Overtime reimbursement shall not exceed a sum equivalent to 25 percent of
the salary of a GS-12, Step 1 (RUS) federal employee, currently $18,649.00, per officer. 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 Tukwila Police Department charge any indirect cost rate to DEA for the
administration or implementation of this agreement.
8. 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. 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. TPD shall maintain all such reports and
records until all litigation, claim, audits and examinations are completed and resolved, or for a
period of three (3) years after termination of this agreement, whichever is later.
10. 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 I.
11. TPD agrees that an authorized officer or employee will execute and return to DEA the
attached OJP Form 4061/6, Certification Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, suspension and Other
Responsibility Matters; and drug -Free Workplace Requirements. TPD acknowledges that this
agreement will not take effect and no federal funds will be awarded until the completed
certification is received.
10/2019
12. When issuing statements, press releases requests for proposals, bid solicitations and other
documents describing projects or programs funded in whole or part with federal money, TPD
shall clearly state: (1) 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 program or
project.
13. TPD and DEA may request that funding be provided by HIDTA to provision Task Force
Officers with leased vehicles suitable for surveillance, installation of mobile radios in the
HIDTA Task Force vehicles, fuel, and routine maintenance. Procedures for reporting and
investigating automobile accidents involving Official Government Vehicles (OGV'S) shall apply
to accidents involving the leased vehicles furnished to the TPD personnel, in addition to
whatever accident reporting requirements TPD may have.
14. While on duty and acting on task force business, the TPD officers assigned to the HIDTA
task force shall be subject to all DEA and federal government rules, regulations and procedures
governing the use of OGV's for home to work transportation and for personal business. DEA
acknowledges that the United States is liable for the actions of a task force officer, while on duty
and acting within the scope of their federal employment, to the extent permitted by the Federal
Torts Claim Act.
15. The term of this agreement shall be effective from the date in paragraph number one until
September 30, 2020. This agreement may be terminated by either party on 30 days advance
written notice. Billing for all outstanding obligations must be received by DEA within 90 days of
the date of termination of this agreement.
