BACKGROUND: The Gulf Coast HIDTA provides federal funding from the Office of National Drug Control Policy to multi -jurisdictional drug enforcement initiatives throughout Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. The Fayetteville Police Department has partnered with Washington County Sheriff's Office, Springdale Police Department, Prairie Grove Police Department and the local Drug Enforcement Administration office to create the Western Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team (WAMDT) initiative with Washington County being the fiduciary agency. DISCUSSION: WAMDT's mission is to infiltrate and disrupt drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) at the street level. The Gulf Coast HIDTA funds overtime for investigator activity, covert buy money for the purchase of evidence/purchase of information (PEPI), and vehicle allowances. The Gulf Coast HIDTA has approved 2020 funding for the Fayetteville Police Department in the amount of $118,734.80. This amount represents overtime funding for four (4) investigators at $11,230.20 each including benefits, PEPI in the amount $58,114, and two vehicle allowances at $15,700. This funding has a two-year life span and must be spent by December 31, 2021. WAMDT is currently preparing their 2021 funding request to the Gulf Coast HIDTA, however, future allocations are contingent upon congressional approval. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Increase in budgeted revenue equal to the increase in budgeted expense for this non - matching federal funding to reimburse existing DTF Investigators overtime, covert funds, and vehicle allowances. This MOU and budget adjustment has no impact on staffing levels. Attachments: Budget Adjustment Memorandum of Understanding Mailing Address: 113 W.
