Title
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Orland Park Police Department (OPPD) and the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) - Approval
History
Members of the U.S.S.S. recently met with the Chief of Police, Deputy Chief of Police and the Commander of Investigations. They offered the department a $7,500.00 grant expiring on 10/1/09 for the purchase of equipment and/or overtime costs for investigative services relating to financial crimes cases developed by our department where we would work cooperatively with the U.S.S.S. Organized Crime Task Force.
Most of these cases require travel to other states and distant locations to efficiently and thoroughly investigate; something we would not normally do for many financial crimes cases. U.S.S.S. task force members would handle this aspect and thus insure these large cases are fully investigated and offenders charged appropriately.
The memorandum of understanding was reviewed by Klein, Thorpe, and Jenkins and they found no issue with it.
On July 13, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Safety Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The police department will provide monthly expense reports to the U.S.S.S. until 10/1/09 for reimbursement for equipment and overtime not to exceed $7,500.00. No other cost to the village.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the Orland Park Police Department and the U.S. Secret Service;
And
To authorize the Chief of Police to execute the Memorandum of Understanding.
