EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fort Collins Police Services ("FCPS") applied for grant funds made available through the Rocky
Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area project which is sponsored and funded by the
Office of National Drug Control. The application was on behalf of the Latimer County Multi-
Jurisdictional Drug Task Force ("DTF") for federal grant monies to help fund the investigation
of illegal narcotics activities in Larimer County. The DTF is staffed by personnel from FCPS,
Loveland Police Department, Larimer County Sheriffs Department, Drug Enforcement
Administration, and Colorado State University Police Department.
The City recently received notification of the grant award in the amount of $64,312. A total of
$39,312 will be applied to the purchase of equipment to be used in narcotics investigations by
the DTF. The balance of funds, $25,000, will be allocated to the individual departments based
on the number of personnel each department dedicates to the DTF and will be used to defer the
overtime costs associated with narcotics investigations. As administrator of this grant, FCPS will
reimburse the other participating agencies of the DTF for their share of the federal funds applied
to overtime.
This Ordinance appropriates the$64,312 in new federal grant money.
