TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020
WHEREAS the detection, apprehension, and prosecution of individuals who
commit automobile-related crimes (defined herein as "auto theft, burglary of a motor
vehicle, economic motor vehicle theft and fraud-related motor vehicle crime") is often
hindered because the range of operations of the criminal offender is greater than the
jurisdiction of the peace officers called upon to investigate the crime; and,
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 automobile-related crimes;
and,
WHEREAS past experience has indicated that a cooperative effort between law
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
of Tarrant County and neighboring counties; and,
WHEREAS pursuant to Chapter 362 of the Texas Local Government Code, the
Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and

selection of a Commander for the Task Force. The Board will monitor the activities and
accomplishments of the Task Force to ensure orderly progress towards attainment of all
stated objectives.
There will be one unit, which may form sub-groups or teams as appropriate. The
activities and investigations of these sub-groups or teams shall be led by the Sgt. Team
Leader at the direction of the Commander of the Task Force. These sub-groups or
teams will have the duties assigned to them by the Sgt. Team Leader at the approval of
the Commander.
AUTOMOBILE-RELATED CRIMES INVESTIGATION
Automobile-related Crimes within the jurisdictional bounds of the entities joining
this Agreement may be coordinated through the Task Force. All commercial auto theft
intelligence received by a law enforcement agency that is a party to this Agreement may
be referred to the Task Force for investigation. The assigned officers will respond to
complaints in a timely manner. The Task Force will conduct salvage business
inspections, covert operations, training, arrests, investigations, assistance to other
agencies and public awareness education in an effort to lower the Automobile-related
Crimes rate(s).
ASSET SEIZURES
All asset seizures developed by the Task Force in Tarrant County under Chapter

compliance with State law and the requirements of the grant restrictions.
FORFEITURE POLICY
Upon entry of a judgment in a judicial proceeding awarding monies or other
proceeds to the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force, said monies or proceeds will
be immediately deposited in the Auto Crimes Task Force Seizure Fund. The monies
and proceeds in this Fund must be used to further the purpose of the Task Force as
required by the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force Grant award: Enhancement
of currently funded and/or future motor vehicle theft enforcement and prevention
programs.
All forfeiture funds and other generated program income shall be subject to audit
by the Auditor of Tarrant County, Texas, and the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention
Authority.
Any conveyance or vehicle that is the subject of a final forfeiture shall be
awarded to the Task Force to be used to further the purpose of the Task Force as
required by the Task Force grant award.
Upon termination of this Agreement, ownership of equipment, hardware, and
other non-expendable items will revert to the applicant for which it was acquired, subject
to the approval of the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority of the State of Texas.
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 Motor Vehicle Crime
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 shall be paid in
accordance with the Motor Vehicle Crime 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 Motor
Vehicle Crime 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
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 Motor Vehicle Crime 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
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.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESTRICTIONS
Signature of this Agreement constitutes acceptance of all grant conditions, grant
restrictions and the terms of all applicable laws.
This is to certify that the objectives of the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task
Force as stated in its Grant Application for the fiscal year(s) funding covered by this
Agreement have been reviewed and that it is mutually agreed to cooperate to whatever
extent is necessary in carrying out the work plan described in the application(s).
Additionally, each participating agency and entity is cognizant of the grant and
agrees to abide by any and all rules or special conditions in relation to the application.
Agencies or their representatives shall have the right to investigate, examine and audit
at any time any and all necessary books, papers, documents, records and personnel
that pertain to this contract or any related subcontracts.

be reimbursed for their participation in this program by grant funds, according to the
entity's applicable submitted budget schedule, to the extent that the budget schedule is
consistent with the grant. The total amount for reimbursement is outlined on the

County. If changed, the change will be made in accordance with the grant and all
participating entities will be advised in writing. To the extent that the budget schedule
is inconsistent with the grant, the grant controls. A copy of the latest and most current
Grant Award Digest will be provided to all participating agencies when received by
Tarrant County.
Participating entities may bill the financial officer for reimbursement at such
periodic intervals as are appropriate and in accordance with the grant.
