~+ DISCUSSION
The Fort Worth Police Department is now, and for a number of years, has par-
ticipated~as a major element in the Fort Worth Drug Enforcement Adminis-
`` ••t ration-(DEA) Task Force, which includes the D/FW Airport Task Force. This
group is composed of local law enforcement agencies combined with the Federal
Drug Enforcement Administration.
The Task Force is formalized by a written contract that states the conditions
of participation by the local agencies and the responsibilities and obliga-
tions of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Further, each agency has a
representative that sits on the Board of Governors. The Board, as a group,
controls the activities and operations that fall outside the limitations of
the Task Force contract.
~~~ ~~,
There have b:een;some recent changes within the Drug Enforcement Administra-
tion. One of"which~'is that the agency is requiring all of its agents to
carry a 9mm semiautomatic pistol as their primary service weapon. As a
result of this,,~the3agency is requiring all Task Force officers to carry a
9mm semiautomatic pistol as their primary service weapon. Failure to do so
will remove that o{fficer and his agency from the umbrella of federal
liability. ~ :;'' , '
The Board of .Gover,nors met i n early May, and as a group, agreed that each
participati~ngw•agency asupply its officers with a 9mm semi automati c pistol as
required by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
FINANCING
Deposit the $6,900 into General Fund O1, Index Code 055012, Miscellaneous
Income, from monies received from restitution payments to the Police
Department. ` - -
