on a part-time basis to this effort as part of the Task Force. The Fort Worth police officers assigned to the
Task Force assist in OCDETF investigations, strategic initiatives and prosecutions as required by the FBI.
The Police Department is reimbursed all overtime costs for participating on the Task Force.
