SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding between United States Customs and Border Protection and the Yuma Police Department to assign federal personnel to the Police Department’s Special Operations Group. (Yuma Police Department) (T. Garrity)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This Memorandum of Understanding is in accordance with the City Council’s Safe and Prosperous and Connected and Engaged Strategic Outcomes. The approved agreement will allow United States Customs and Border Protection to assign federal agents to the Police Department’s Special Operations Group.
REPORT:
The Yuma Police Department’s Special Operations Group (SOG) is a Patrol based specialty unit dedicated to proactive enforcement and criminal investigations relative to street gangs, narcotics and dangerous drug trafficking, and associated violent crimes. Many of these crimes have border and international ties.
United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) shares much of the same mission from the federal perspective and routinely partners with local law enforcement to achieve common goals. A formal partnership where federal agents work directly with SOG officers increases collaboration, staffing, and better leverages resources to ultimately reduce crime.
By approving this resolution, the Mayor and Council authorize the Yuma Police Department to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with United States Customs and Border Protection, accepting the assignment of at least one federal agent to the Police Department’s Special Operations Group.
