A Resolution authorizing the Mayor, Chief of Police and City Clerk to execute and attest to a Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and area law enforcement agencies, setting forth the mission, structure, and procedures for participation in the Quad City Federal Gang Task Force (QCFGTF).
Explanation: The FBI and the City of Moline Police Department wish to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to continue participation of the Moline Police Department in the Quad Cities Federal Gang Task Force (QCFGTF). Since 1994, participation in the QCFGTF has proven to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement resources through a well-coordinated initiative seeking the most effective investigative and prosecutive avenues by which to convict and incarcerate dangerous offenders. The FBI reimburses participating agencies for overtime costs incurred by the assigned officers working QCFGTF investigations. The term of the MOU is for the duration of the QCFGTF operations, contingent upon approval of necessary funding, and may be terminated upon the written mutual consent of the parties.
