EXHIBIT A--Budget Detail Worksheet and Budget Narrative Page 5 of 9
Budget Narrative
A. Personnel: $668,807 is budgeted under the Personnel category for the APD officer salary,
the civilian Trafficking Coordinator salary, and NTATT officers' overtime. Of this amount,
$289,203 is the in-kind match consisting of the salaries of the trafficking detectives dedicated to
NTATT from Fort Worth and Dallas Police Departments.
Funds under the Personnel category, including the in-kind matching funds, pay for the
following: an Arlington Police Department (APD) officer (senior detective) for 2 years at 100%
on this project, a Trafficking Coordinator for 2 years at 100% on this project, a Dallas Police
Department officer at 100% for 2 years (this salary is part of the in-kind match), and a Fort
Worth Police Department officer at 100% for 2 years (this salary is also part of the in-kind
match). A cost of living increase of 3% has been included in the second year salaries of the APD
detective and the Trafficking Coordinator. Additionally, $163,200 is allocated for overtime
under this grant to be used by trafficking-designated officers involved in NTATT during the two
year period of the grant.
The officers under this grant project will be responsible for: responding to and
conducting investigations of potential human trafficking victims, conducting educational training
for law enforcement personnel and social service providers in the Metroplex, working in
coordination with the NTATT and the task force in further developing standard protocol,
attending regular task force meetings, attending training sessions including the Human
Trafficking Institutes and required trainings of the grant, and collaborating with law enforcement
partner and criminal justice personnel involved in human trafficking investigations.
FY 2013 Enhanced Collaborative Model to Combat Human Trafficking
EXHIBIT A-- Budget Detail Worksheet and Budget Narrative Page 6 of 9
The Trafficking Coordinator will be responsible for scheduling task force meetings,
keeping records of minutes and action items at task force meetings for the USAO, coordinating
training events including the Human Trafficking Institutes, conducting outreach in the North
Texas area, responding to external information requests, coordinating efforts with all program
partners, preparing monthly and quarterly statistical and programmatic reports, and overseeing
the program efforts as related to the goals set by the USAO and the members of NTATT.
Arlington Police Department's Fiscal Services Unit will be responsible for monitoring
program expenditures under this grant, processing the reimbursement requests related to program
expenditures for NTATT member agencies, and ensuring that financial reports are filed as
required for grant reporting. APD will also coordinate program expenditures with the BJA grant
administrator to ensure that all prior approvals are obtained and that all expenditures are
approved under the grant.
Additionally, the funds requested for officer overtime pay will provide the necessary
funding for officers to conduct lengthy, on-going investigations, stake-outs, etc. Overtime is
necessary in police work particularly when dealing with the problem of human trafficking as
much work is done beyond the normal eight-hour shift, and flexibility is needed to respond
quickly if the situation arises. Often, operation details can extend an officer's shift by up to six
hours at a time if necessary for on-going investigations.
B. Fringe Benefits: $70,299 is budgeted under the Benefits category for the Trafficking
Coordinator position and the APD trafficking detective. The fringe benefits detailed under this
category include retirement, disability and group health insurance, Medicare, Workers'
Compensation Insurance, and benefits related to law enforcement officers such as investigator
pay and shift pay.

investigative travel and travel for the Trafficking Coordinator and APD trafficking detective to
attend required conferences and training under this grant program. Funds for toll charges to task
force and coalition meetings, and other trafficking-related travel on toll roads will be available to
the Trafficking Coordinator and APD trafficking detective. Funds are also budgeted under the
travel category to cover the costs associated with the national trafficking conference sponsored
by Freedom Network in 2014.
D. Equipment: $1,627 is requested in federal funding under the equipment category for the
purchase of several equipment items including: one desktop computer system for the Trafficking
Coordinator ($950), one mobile printer for use when travelling for investigative and training
purposes ($199), one digital voice recorder for investigations ($30), one paper shredder ($249), a
labeling system for file organization ($99), and a wireless router for internet access when

purposes and for use by NTATT members (e.g. protocol manuals), copying of handouts, and
general office supplies (notebooks, folders, writing materials, toner/ink, etc.). Printed
presentation folders with NTATT information as well as contact information will be used by all
NTATT trainers at presentations, Human Trafficking Institutes, and training sessions throughout
North Texas during the grant period (5,000 @ $2,529). Tri-fold brochures with NTATT
information will also be printed for distribution throughout the region (5,000 @ $562). Also
