WHEREAS the existence of a multiplicity of political jurisdictions in Tarrant, Jack,
Hood, Palo Pinto, Parker, Somervell and Wise Counties impedes the effectiveness of
individual law enforcement agencies to detect and eradicate auto theft and burglary of

enforcement agencies and Tarrant County has been effective in detecting and deterring
the activities of targeted criminal groups to the mutual benefit of all the political entities

OFFICER STATUS
Any peace officer assigned to the Task Force by a government entity which is a
party to this Agreement shall be empowered to enforce all laws and ordinances
applicable in the jurisdiction of the county and municipal entities signatory to this
Agreement, including the power to make arrests, execute search warrants, and
investigate auto theft and burglary of motor vehicle offenses outside of the geographical
jurisdiction from which he or she is assigned, but within the area covered by the
jurisdictions of the counties and municipal entities which are parties to this Agreement.
While functioning as a peace officer assigned to the Task Force, he or she shall
have all of the law enforcement powers of a regular peace officer of such other political
entity.
A peace officer who is assigned, designated, or ordered by the official designated
by the governing body of any entity to perform law enforcement duties as a member of
the Task Force shall receive the same wage, salary, pension and all other
compensation and all other rights for such service, including injury or death benefits and
workers' compensation benefits, paid in accordance with the Texas Automobile Burglary
and Theft Prevention Authority Grant Guidelines, as existing or as may be amended,
and applicable law, as though the service had been rendered within the limits of the
entity from which he or she was assigned. Recognizing the benefits to a participating
entity to this agreement, it is agreed that all wage and disability payments, including
workers' compensation benefits, pension payments, damage to equipment (with the
exception of leased vehicles, for which damages will be covered under the provisions of
the lease(s) and clothing, medical expense and expense of travel, food and lodging
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 5
shall be paid in accordance with the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention
Authority Grant Guidelines, as existing or as may be amended. However, peace
officers assigned to the Task Force will not work overtime that is not reimbursable to
their assigning agency without prior approval from their assigning agency supervisor.
(For example, Fort Worth police officers assigned to the Task Force will not work Task
Force overtime, which is not reimbursable to the Fort Worth Police Department, without
prior approval from their Fort Worth police supervisor.) Instead, they will be permitted to
flex their work hours as necessary to accomplish Task Force objectives and
assignments.
In further recognition of the benefit to be gained by the entity participating in the
Task Force, it is agreed that no entity that is a party to this Agreement shall receive or
be entitled to reimbursement from another entity participating in this Agreement for any
services performed pursuant to this Agreement.
It is further agreed that, in the event that any peace officer assigned to the Task
Force is cited as a party defendant to any civil lawsuit, state or federal, arising out of his
or her official acts while functioning as a peace officer assigned to the Task Force, said
peace officer shall be entitled to the same benefits that such officer would be entitled to
receive had such civil action risen out of an official act within the scope of his or her
duties as a member and in the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency from which he
or she was assigned. Further, no entity shall be responsible for the acts of a peace
officer of another entity assigned to the Task Force. Each entity participating herein
indemnifies and holds all other participating entities harmless for all acts of its own
officers and employees acting hereunder, to the full extent permitted by law.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
This Contract is subject to all grant conditions applicable to the grant of the
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 6
Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority to the Tarrant Regional Auto
Crimes Task Force.
Each party to this Agreement expressly waives all claims against every other
party for compensation for any loss, damage, personal injury, or death occurring as a
consequence of the performance of this Agreement.
Third party claims against members shall be governed by the Texas Tort Claims
Act or other appropriate statutes and laws of the State of Texas and the United States.
It is expressly understood and agreed that, in the execution of this Agreement, no
party waives, nor shall be deemed hereby to waive, any immunity or defense that would
otherwise be available to it against claims arising in the exercise of governmental
powers and functions.
The validity of this Agreement and of any of its terms or provisions, as well as the
rights and duties of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas.
In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for
any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof and this
Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein.
This Agreement shall become effective as to a party hereto on the day of the
execution of the Agreement by the party, and shall continue in effect as to a
participating entity for one year from the date of signature and thereafter until it has
been terminated or rescinded by appropriate action of the participating entity's
governing body, or expires due to termination of the grant or by operation of law. (To
minimize the administrative difficulty of signature between the many parties, each city or
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 7
other law enforcement entity will sign a substantially similar agreement with Tarrant
County; however, each party signing substantially similar copies is immediately bound
one to another to all other entities participating during the time said agreement is in
force as to said entity, even though the parties' signatures appear on different copies of
the substantially similar copies. Any entity being added after the agreement is in effect
need only sign the documents which Tarrant County signs to be fully a party bound to
all other parties, and such signature shall, as of the date of the signing, have the same
force and effect as between the joining and already-bound members as if a single
document was signed simultaneously by all then-participating entities.)
If program enhancement activities are terminated, unexpended revenues will be
promptly returned to the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority.
This Agreement may be amended or modified by the mutual agreement of the
parties hereto in writing. The Interlocal Agreement is for the period and on the
conditions herein contained, and on such conditions to this Agreement as may be
added by amendment or by law, and not for any period beyond that permitted by law,
nor for any purpose not permitted by law.
This instrument contains all commitments and agreements of the parties, and no
oral or written commitments have any force or effect to alter any term or condition of this
Agreement, unless the same are done in proper form and in a manner constituting a
bona fide amendment hereto.
Two non-local entities, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the National
Insurance Crime Bureau each enter separate agreements with Tarrant County for the
following reasons: Each entity's staff member carries a statewide law enforcement
commission and therefore does not require the enhanced law enforcement jurisdiction
afforded by this Agreement; Each entity funds their staff member's salary and fringe
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 8
benefits 100%; and each entity's staff member performs in a support role to the Task
Force and is available less than 100% of their work week because the availability of
each is subject to assignments from their entity.
The parties agree that their collective agreement may be evidenced by the
execution of an identical counterpart of this instrument by the duly authorized official(s)
of each participant and the failure of any anticipated member to enter into or renew this
Agreement shall not affect the agreement between and among the parties executing the
Agreement.
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 9
