The change affected one Surprise officer, who has been part of the task force since Oct. 24. The officer will serve on the task force until Sept. 30.
In addition to approving the money, the council also accepted an amended memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Marshals Service that allows the DOJ to continue reimbursing the city for future overtime expenses on the JLEO Task Force.
Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies team up to fight specific criminal activities on the JLEO Task Force.
The groups share resources, intelligence and expertise on issues such as drug trafficking.
The U.S. Marshals Service typically reimburses participating agencies for overtime and other expenses.
