BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Department has been in partnership with the USMS for approximately 18 years on the Pacific Southwest Region Fugitive Task Force. Sheriff Deputies that are cross sworn as Deputy US Marshal’s investigate and apprehend fugitives within the region. The USMS provides funding for the purchase of equipment, and reimbursement of overtime that is expended during the investigation process and apprehension of fugitives within the region. This year, the USMS informed the Department of their intent to provide the two vehicles listed in Recommendation No. 1 to be used by staff assigned to the Task Force. The agreement with the USMS indicates that assigned credit cards will be provided by them to cover expenses related to fuel, repairs and
maintenance of the donated trucks. At the end of the useful life, the vehicles will be returned to the USMS for disposition. County Standard Practice 06-01SP requires departments to obtain Board of Supervisors approval of any donation valued over $10,000.
