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

prosecution before the courts of the United States and the State of Florida.
2. To accomplish the objectives of the Mexican Poly-Drug Task Force, the CPD agrees to
detail one (1) experienced officer(s) to the Mexican Poly-Drug Task Force for a period of not

$ 18,343.75, 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 the CPD charge any indirect cost rate to DEA for the administration or
implementation of this agreement.

documents describing projects or programs funded in whole or part with federal money, the CPD
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.

Task Force Officers with vehicles suitable for surveillance. HIDTA through DEA will furnish
mobile radios for installation in the HIDTA Task Force vehicles and HIDTA will assume the
cost of installation and removal. HIDTA will be financially responsible for the purchase of fuel

a fair and impartial distribution of federally forfeited assets.

federally forfeited property will be based on the number of officers each participating agency
assigns to the ODOHTF.

work hours expended by the non-ODOHTF agencies in the investigation. In investigations

of information, and the critical nature of the assistance to the investigation.
