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
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT - PAGE 4
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
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 iask 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 Departrnent, 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.
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT - PAGE 5
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.
.; ..� �
This Contract is subject to all grant conditions applicable to the grant of the
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
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMEIVT - PAGE 6
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 parficipating entity's governing body, or expires
due to termination of the granf 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 diffe,rent copies of the substaritially
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.)
THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT - PAGE 7
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 arnended 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 rnember 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%; 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 8

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
agress 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.
