LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 1 day of May, 1994, by and
between the COUNTY OF WELD and the WELD COUNTY SHERIFF, by and through the Board
of County Commissioners of Weld County, hereinafter referred to as "County" and
the TOWN OF HUDSON, 557 Ash Street, Hudson, CO, hereinafter referred to as the
"Town."
WHEREAS, the Town is desirous of entering into an Agreement with the County
for the performance of law enforcement services over and above the regular law
enforcement service level provided by the County Sheriff; and
WHEREAS, the County is willing to render such additional services and law
enforcement protection on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
and
WHEREAS, such agreement are authorized by Section 29-1-203, C.R.S. , and the
Weld County Home Rule Charter, Article II, Section 2 - 3; and
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants,
conditions, and promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY COUNTY
The County, by and through the Weld County Sheriff, shall provide to Town,
within its corporate limits, the additional law enforcement services of a
Town Marshall as authorized by Section 31-4-306, C.R.S. , and as
hereinafter limited or expanded by this Agreement. Such services shall
hereafter be referenced as "Town Marshal Services. "
A. Directly Committed Patrol Services
The County will provide to Town patrol services directly committed
to the Town according to a regular schedule mutually established by
Town and County. This schedule shall be subject to modification
from time to time by agreement of the parties. However, the Weld
County Sheriff retains ultimate authority to reassign, at any time,
any Sheriff's personnel performing this directly committed patrol
service to law enforcement needs elsewhere throughout the County.
In such case, the Sheriff, in his discretion, may provide any
unfulfilled scheduled patrol service later in the same scheduled
day. The Town shall be responsible for payment, pursuant to this
Agreement, only for actual patrol services provided within the
Town's corporate limits.
B. Other Services
As part of, or in addition to, the directly committed patrol
services described above, County's Town Marshal Services to Town
will include the following services to be performed within the
Town's corporate limits:
1. Investigation and enforcement of Town Ordinance violations as
set forth in this Agreement.
2. Investigation and enforcement of Colorado Statute violations.
3. Investigation of traffic accidents.
4. Crime analysis and management information.
5. Deployment to address specific community needs.

will enforce the duly enacted Town Ordinance sections listed in
Schedule A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Town shall provide County with any and all amendments to these
designated Ordinance sections immediately upon their enactment by
Town. However, the Sheriff will not enforce these Town Ordinance
section violations designated in Schedule A which carry penalties
more severe than a petty offense as defined at Section 18-1-107,
C.R.S. Such more serious offenses will be enforced by the Sheriff
through the corresponding Colorado State Statutes in the County and
District Courts of Weld County.
C. Exceptions to Service
The County will not impound, contain or transport animals-at-large
or collect trash dumped or deposited in violation of the Town
Ordinances in the absence of a separate written agreement for such
services.

other compensation to County personnel performing the services set
forth in this Agreement on behalf of the County. County shall

unemployment compensation coverage for County's employees who are
designated to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. In addition,
County is responsible to pay the Federal and State Income Tax

terms of this Agreement.
The standards and procedures for performance of the terms of this
Agreement, the discipline of Sheriff's Deputies fulfilling the terms
of this Agreement, and other matters incidental to the performance
of the terms of this Agreement shall at all times remain exclusively
vested in the Weld County Sheriff and not in the Town, its officers
and agents. Generally, performance standards, procedures and
discipline for those deputies performing the terms of this Agreement
shall be consistent with the performance standards, procedures and
discipline required of deputies providing service in unincorporated
areas of Weld County.
