NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Parties' mutual covenants and promises
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:
I. PURPOSE/TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Purpose and Continuation of WCDTF. The Parties agree to the continuation of the WCDTF
for the purpose of coordinating and facilitating multi jurisdictional drug enforcement. The
WCDTF is not a separate legal entity. The Parties enter into this agreement as separate and
independent entities, and each shall maintain such status throughout the term of this
Agreement. All WCDTF operations will be primarily focused on the following areas:
a) Conducting investigations related to the unlawful sale, distribution, or manufacturing
of controlled substances and other related criminal activity in the Weld County area.
The emphasis of these efforts will be to target medium to large sized distribution
networks with an emphasis on identifying and eliminating, to the extent possible, drug
trafficking organizations at their source.
b) Establish and maintain a viable and efficient criminal intelligence system that will
provide for the collection, storage, and dissemination of relevant criminal intelligence
to those authorized by law to receive it.
c) Maintain effective collaboration with the 19th Judicial District Attorney's Office to
work towards prosecution strategies that are in the best interest of the community.
Furthermore, the Weld County District Attorney's Office and the WCDTF will
coordinate and collaborate on asset forfeitures that are handled through the State of
Colorado.
2. Previous Agreements. The parties agree that this agreement shall replace and supersede in all
respects any previous agreement between them concerning the operation of the WCDTF as of
April 1, 2024.
3. Initial Term. The initial term of this agreement shall be from April 1, 2024, and continue for
consecutive one-year periods until March 31, 2029, unless sooner terminated as provided
herein or extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties.
2
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8A507C8F-4AB9-49BA-A979-EAEE16E85926
a) The Parties shall review this agreement at least every five (5) years to determine if
renewal is appropriate.
4. Automatic Renewal. Upon expiration of the Initial Term on March 31, 2029, this agreement
shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms, commencing on the first day
following the date on which the preceding initial term or renewal term shall have expired,
provided however that automatic renewal pursuant to this section is subject to the availability
and approval by City of funding. The Parties reserve the right to elect not to renew the
agreement.
5. Termination. Either party may terminate this agreement, with or without cause and with or
without providing reasons for termination, upon giving the other party ninety (90) days' prior
written notice. City funds will be prorated based on the time, date, and work performed.
Additional City proceeds shall be returned within ninety (90) days of the termination date.
6. Dissolution. Upon a majority vote of the Managing Committee and approval by each Parties
Chief of Police or Sheriff, the WCDTF may be completely dissolved. Upon Dissolution, any
assets, equipment, or funds shall be distributed as follows:
a) All assets of the WCDTF will be divided between the then existing Managing Agencies
based on the percentage of full-time employees assigned by each Managing Agency to
the WCDTF as of the date of the dissolution vote.
IL WCDTF STRUCTURE/MEMBERSHIP
1. Task Force Membership. Any law -enforcement agency in Weld County may become a
member of the WCDTF by providing the Management Committee with a proposal identifying
the personnel the agency wishes to contribute to the WCDTF. The Management Committee
has the authority to approve this membership. Any agency granted membership to the WCDTF
must agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall execute a counterpart copy
of this Agreement and all subsequent amendments or addenda thereto, at which point such
agency will become a Party to this Agreement. Any personnel assigned to the WCDTF shall
remain an employee of their respective agencies. Increasing or decreasing personnel assigned
to the WCDTF will require a review and adjustment to this Agreement as it relates to fiscal
management, Section II(8) of this Agreement.
2. Management Committee. The Management Committee shall be comprised of the Chief of
Police or Sheriff of each Managing Agency, or their appointed designee. The role of the
Management Committee is to provide strategic planning and guidance to the Task Force
Commander.
3. Managing Agency. A law enforcement agency that has assigned full-time personnel to the
WCDTF operations is designated as a "Managing Agency." The actual number of full-time
personnel assigned to the WCDTF operations by each agency may fluctuate year-to-year,
depending on the financial circumstances of each agency and the addition or withdrawal of
any other agency to or from the WCDTF operations.
3
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8A507C8F-4AB9-49BA-A979-EAEE16E85926
4. Participating Agency. Any law enforcement agency that does not assign personnel to the
WCDTF operations, but does provide investigative cooperation, enforcement assistance,
intelligence and information sharing and/or any other non -personnel contribution is defined as
a "Participating Agency." Participating Agencies are not voting members of the Management
Committee and will not receive any asset forfeiture distributions. As part of the working
relationship with the WCDTF, Participating Agencies may receive assistance in narcotics
investigations including the investigation of illegal drug laboratories, access to investigative
technology and the ability to access the WCDTF criminal intelligence system through WCDTF
detectives and supervisors. Requests for assistance will be approved by the Commander based
on available resources and other WCDTF priorities. The WCDTF Commander will attend the
Weld Chief's Association meetings, as directed by the Management Committee, to provide an
update on task force priorities and current projects.
5. Other Agencies or Affiliations. The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI, probation
or parole divisions and the Colorado National Guard (through counter drug programs) may
assign personnel to the WCDTF operations. The obligations of these agencies are governed
by a separate agreement.
6. WCDTF Organization. Sworn personnel engaging in operation activities through the WCDTF
shall have full peace officer authority and arrest powers within Weld County through the Weld
County Sheriff's Office commissions in addition to the authority granted by the home agency.
Additionally, sworn personnel may operate in other areas under the authority of any federal
deputation, which may be granted to the WCDTF members. WCDTF policy and procedure
will parallel that of the Greeley Police Department, which acts as the administrative agency
for the WCDTF. Personnel assigned to the WCDTF shall follow Greeley Police Department
policy. In cases of an alleged policy violation the WCDTF Commander will collaborate and
assist the home agency of any WCDTF personnel who may be undergoing a personnel
investigation. Disciplinary action shall be the responsibility of the employee's home agency.
a) WCDTF Commander. The Commander who also serves as the Project Director for the
WCDTF shall be a Greeley Police Commander and is subject to the Greeley Police
Department chain of command. The Commander or their designee shall manage field
and investigative operations of the WCDTF. The Commander shall supervise the
WCDTF sergeants(s). The Commander is authorized to apply for grants or to seek
supplemental funding sources through state or federal avenues and are to be used for
purposes related to WCDTF operations.
b) Sergeants. WCDTF Sergeants shall supervise detectives and/or officers assigned to the
WCDTF operations. Supervision does not include the authority to make personnel
decisions, but the WCDTF sergeant may communicate with the agency that employs
those assigned to operations regarding a person's conduct and performance during
WCDTF operations.
c) Detectives and Civilians. WCDTF detectives and civilian personnel assigned to
WCDTF operations will work as part of a mixed agency team under the supervision
4
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8A507C8F-4AB9-49BA-A979-EAEE16E85926
and direction of the Commander and Sergeant(s). The Managing Agency executives
shall have sole discretion concerning the assignment of their personnel to the WCDTF.
Due to the unique nature of the assignment, it is recommended that a formal selection
process be conducted with the current WCDTF supervisor(s) participation. Applicants
may be required to successfully complete a drug screen (urinalysis), polygraph
examination and financial background investigation (according to the Fair Credit
Reporting Act rules and regulations), and an employment background investigation
including review of personnel files. The Commander may also remove individuals
from participation in WCDTF operations with approval of the individual's home
agency.
d) Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no performance under this Agreement shall
in any respect alter or modify the status of offices, agents, or employees of the
respective parties for purposes of workers' compensation or their benefits or
entitlements, pension, levels or types of training, internal discipline, certification, or
rank procedures, methods, or categories, or for any purpose, other conditions, or
requirements of employment. While assigned to the WCDTF, employees remain
subject to their home agency's human resource regulations.
e) All agencies that utilize resources that come about because of WCDTF operations shall
agree to follow the protocols established by the WCDTF or set forth in the Greeley
Police Department's policies. Direct access to the WCDTF intelligence system is
available to selected members of the Managing Agencies. Direct access to the
intelligence system shall not be allowed to a Managing Agency employee until the
Commander or Sergeant(s) verify the employee has completed the WCDTF
intelligence training, and the employer agrees to follow the WCDTF requirements and
protocols governing use of the intelligence system. Participating Agencies are
encouraged to access the intelligence system through a WCDTF detective or supervisor
in accordance with policy.
f) In order to maintain consistency in operations, the members of the WCDTF shall utilize
the following support services of the Greeley Police Department. All evidence
collected during WCDTF operations will be stored by the Greeley Police Department's
Property and Evidence section. All police reports and associated paperwork shall be
maintained by the Greeley Police Department Records Section. Computer support and
other IT services will be provided by the City of Greeley Information Technology
Division with necessary assistance from Weld County Public Safety Information
Technology. Other support services for the WCDTF will be decided based on the type
of service, geographic location, and availability.
7. Voluntary Change of Membership Level. It is agreed that participating in the WCDTF is
voluntary, and that in the event a Managing or Participating Agency wishes to change its level
of participation in the WCDTF, said agency shall notify the Management Committee not less
than ninety (90) days prior to the anticipated change. An agency changing from a Managing
to a Participating Agency shall have no claim of ownership over any assets purchased in whole
or in part through grant funding, or the Party's funds held for WCDTF operations, equipment
5
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8A507C8F-4AB9-49BA-A979-EAEE16E85926
or vehicles acquired through forfeiture proceedings, nor any asset forfeiture proceeds which
have been applied for but have not yet been distributed at the time of notice. All such assets,
equipment, vehicles and forfeiture proceeds shall be retained by the then existing Managing
Agencies. Change in participation level pursuant to this section shall not relieve a Party of its
obligations incurred up to the change date. Any Participating Agency that wishes to become
a Managing Agency shall notify the Commander and provide the Management Committee with
a proposal regarding personnel that they will assign under the command of the WCDTF. The
change in membership status is not effective until approved by the Management Committee.
8. Financials
a) Financial Reports. The Management Committee shall receive a financial report from
the Task Force Commander for the Financial Coordinator prior to each scheduled
committee meeting. The substance of the financial report, will be determined by the
management committee.
b) Initial Transition of Equitable Funds. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement
replaces the previous Agreement controlling the structure and operations of the
WCDTF. As of March 19, 2024, 2024, the WCDTF has equitably shared reserves in
the amount of:
• Department of Justice - $ 122,675.80
• Department of Treasury - $ 23,795.64
To comply with federal rules, the Parties agree that all existing WCDTF equitably
shared funds shall be transferred to the City of Greeley which is acting as the fiduciary
for the WCDTF. The City of Greeley will distribute those funds to the member agencies
according to the sharing percentages as noted in section (3)(_14J below. The member
agencies may use these funds at their discretion but must remain in compliance with
the Department of Justice Guide to Equitable Sharing for State, Local, and Tribal Law
Enforcement Agencies, July 2018. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or restrict the
existing Management Committee and WCDTF Commander from spending necessary
funds as authorized in this Agreement while this transition occurs.
c) Initial Transition of Non -Equitable Funds. All non -equitable funds (those forfeited
funds not received through the Federal Government) shall be transferred to the City of
Greeley in their entirety. Those funds shall be held by the City of Greeley to support
future WCDTF operations. As of March 19, 2024, the WCDTF has non -equitably
shared reserves in the amount of $ 303,203.06.
d) Fiscal Management. The Commander shall oversee the fiscal management of the
WCDTF. There shall be a financial coordinator who shall be supervised by the Greeley
Police Chief or his/her designee. The Financial policies and procedures of the City of
Greeley shall govern all financial matters involving the WCDTF.
6
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8A507C8F-4AB9-49BA-A979-EAEE16E85926
9. Grant Funding. The Greeley Police Department shall act as the sub -grantee for any state
or federal drug grants or awards. The Commander shall act as the grant coordinator or
manager. No grant which requires matching funds will be applied for without consultation
and approval of the Management Committee. Grant match obligations, if any, shall be
apportioned among the Managing Agencies according to each agency's proportionate share
of full-time personnel under the command structure of the WCDTF.
10. Funding Strategy. Essential to the sustainability of the WCDTF is funding strategy that
minimizes dependance on federal grant funding. In recognition thereof, each Managing
Agency shall fund its own personnel costs incurred in its performance of the operations.
Other expenses such as vehicles, supplies and other operating expenses shall be covered
through the WCDTF allotted budget. Federal and/or state grant awards and project income,
which includes monies from seizure/forfeiture awards, court surcharges, restitution, and
interest from WCDTF operations in the designated agency's reserve accounts, may be used
for expenses specific to carrying out daily drug enforcement efforts, including but not
limited to confidential funds, off -site lease expense, a portion of overtime, and other
operating expenses not otherwise funded or provided. Supplemental funding that may be
received for overtime will be reimbursed to each Managing Agency. Overtime
reimbursement awarded shall not exceed the proportionate share of the award based upon
the agreed sharing percentages.
11. Equipment. Equipment and/or vehicles purchased in whole or part, through funding or
equitable sharing, prior to the implementation of this agreement, shall be jointly owned by
all Managing Agencies. In the event the WCDTF is disbanded in its entirety, or a member
agency elects to leave membership, such equipment will be distributed pursuant to the
sharing percentages in this Agreement noted in Section 14 below. Items purchased with
equitable sharing funds will be distributed in accordance with the current Department of
Justice "Guide to Equitable Sharing for State, Local, and Tribal Law Enforcement
Agencies." Managing agencies will be entitled to proportional shares after three (3) years
of continual Managing Agency status. Maintenance, repair, and replacement of any such
equipment shall be the responsibility of the WCDTF Commander or their designee.
12. Joint Use and Operations. Equipment, including but not limited to computers, hardware
and software, vehicles, cell phones, and other equipment owned by an Agency that is used,
or has been made available for use in WCDTF operations shall remain the property of said
agency. All maintenance, replacement and repairs of such equipment shall be the
responsibility of that agency.
13. Task Force Asset Forfeiture Distributions. The Commander shall be the signatory for the
Management Committee to dispose of forfeited property in accordance with federal and
state guidelines. Further, any revenue or assets generated through forfeiture actions
initiated by or processed through WCDTF operations shall be distributed to the Managing
Agencies based on formulas set forth in this Agreement. However, when an asset forfeiture
results from WCDTF activity, the federal match percentage, or state award of such asset
forfeiture shall first be placed directly into the designated agency's account before any
distribution under this paragraph is made.
7
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8A507C8F-4AB9-49BA-A979-EAEE16E85926
14. Equitable Sharing/Seizures. Each Managing Agency shall be responsible for staying in
compliance with all applicable federal agency guidelines regarding the use and
management of equitable sharing dollars. Direct requests for equitable sharing by
Managing Agencies will be determined by the percentage of the requesting agency's
contribution of full-time investigative employees to the WCDTF. In these instances, the
requesting agency shall complete a DAG71 (form for federal asset sharing) requesting asset
sharing from the WCDTF seizure case. Effective April 1, 2024, the following equitable
sharing percentages for monetary forfeitures will be adhered to:
Agency
Number of FTE
Percentage
Greeley PD
9
73
Weld County SO
2
20
Evans PD
1
7
Based on 12 full-time WCDTF employees.
The Evans Police Department agrees to accept a reduced equitable share
distribution in lieu of making an upfront contribution for administrative costs.
Therefore, the administrative agency will be entitled to deduct 3% of the
equitable share distribution percentage from the Evans Police Department's
share to help compensate the administrating agency from administrative costs.
The Weld County Sheriffs Office agrees to contribute 20% of the
administrative and operational costs of the WCDTF, which includes the cost of
the WCDTF Commander and administrative assistant.
When tangible property (i.e. motor vehicles, trailer, technology, etc...) is
forfeited for WCDTF use, the Administrative Agency will complete the
DAG71 and that property will be designated for WCDTF use.
15. Non- Equitable Sharing/Seizures. Assets that are forfeited though the State of Colorado
forfeiture system are referred to as "non -equitable" funds. These funds will remain in a
separate accounting fund so that the non -equitable funds are not co -mingled with the
equitable sharing from the federal government. Transfer, management and disbursement
of non -equitable funds will be the responsibility of the fiduciary. The fiduciary will prepare
a financial statement to be presented to the Management Committee at each regularly
scheduled meeting.
III. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. Indemnification and Liability. The Parties acknowledge that each are government entities
that may not be permitted under current Colorado Law to indemnify another entity. Each
