STATE AND LOCAL HIDTA TASK FORCE AGREEMENT
"CENTRAL FLORIDA HIDTA - HIDTA 2"
This agreement is made this Pt day of October 2021, between the United States Department of
Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (hereinafter "DEA"), and the Clermont Police
Department ORI # FL0350300 (hereinafter "CPD"). 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 Florida
area and that such illegal activity has a substantial and detrimental effect on the health and
general welfare of the people of Florida, the parties hereto agree to the following:
1. The DEA Orlando HIDTA Mexican Poly -Drug Task Force will perform the activities and
duties described below:
a. disrupt the illicit drug traffic in the 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 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
less than two years. During this period of assignment, the CPD officers will be under the direct
supervision and control of DEA supervisory personnel assigned to the Task Force.
3. The CPD 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 CPD officers assigned to the Task Force shall be deputized as Task Force officers of
DEA pursuant to 21 USC 878.
5. To accomplish the objectives of the DEA Orlando Mexican Poly -Drug Task Force, DEA
will assign four (4) Special Agents to the Task Force. HIDTA 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 CPD
officers 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 Heroin Task Force, the CPD will remain
responsible for establishing the salaries and benefits, including overtime, of the officers assigned
to the Task Force, and for making all payments due them. HIDTA will, subject to availability of
funds, reimburse the CPD 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. Invoices must be submitted at least
quarterly within 30 days of the end of the invoiced period. 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.
8. The CPD 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 CPD 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 CPD shall maintain all such
reports and records until all litigation, claim, audits and examinations are completed and resolved
or for a period of six (6) years after termination of this agreement, whichever is later.
10. The CPD 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. The CPD 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. The CPD acknowledges that
this agreement will not take effect and no federal funds will be awarded 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 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.
13. The CPD understands and agrees that HIDTA will provide the DEA Mexican Poly -Drug
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
for the leased vehicles and for providing routine maintenance, i.e., oil changes, lubes and minor
tune-ups via the HIDTA lease contractor. DEA and HIDTA procedures for reporting and
investigating automobile accidents involving Official Government Vehicles (OGV'S)-HIDTA
lease vehicles shall apply to accidents involving the leased vehicles furnished to the CPD
personnel, in addition to whatever accident reporting requirements the CPD may have.
14. While on duty and acting on Task Force business, the CPD 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. The
HIDTA Executive Committee acknowledges that the United States is liable for the actions of
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. All sharing of federally forfeited property will be done in accordance with the U.S.
Department of Justice policies and procedures as set forth in Guide to Equitable Sharing for State
and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (April 2009). Every effort will be made by DEA to make
a fair and impartial distribution of federally forfeited assets.
16. Among members of the Orlando District Office HIDTA Task Force (ODOHTF), sharing of
federally forfeited property will be based on the number of officers each participating agency
assigns to the ODOHTF.
17. Equitable sharing distributions with non-ODOHTF agencies shall be based on the number of
work hours expended by the non-ODOHTF agencies in the investigation. In investigations
where agencies not comprising the ODOHTF participate in the investigation leading to the
seizure and federal forfeiture of assets, sharing may also be determined on the ultimate
qualitative value of the information provided to the ODOHTF. In making the distribution
determination, DEA will take into consideration the originator of the information, the
development and/or use of confidential informants or sources of information, and the critical
nature of the assistance to the investigation.
18. Equitable sharing distributions with contributing ODOHTF agencies (e.g. independent
agency units, narcotic squads, detective squads etc.) shall be based on the number of work hours
expended by contributing ODOHTF agencies in the investigation. In investigations where
agencies (e.g. independent agency units, narcotic squads, detective squads etc.) comprising the
ODOHTF participate in the investigation leading to the seizure and federal forfeiture of assets,
sharing may also be determined on the ultimate qualitative value of the information provided to
the ODOHTF. In making the distribution determination, DEA will take into consideration the
originator of the information, the development and/or use of confidential informants or sources
of information, and the critical nature of the assistance to the investigation.
19. The term of this agreement shall be effective from the date in paragraph number one until
September 30, 2022. 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. HIDTA will be responsible only for obligations
incurred by CPD during the term of this agreement.
