US Marshals Task Force 2021/2022 • Page 2 for participation in the USMS Regional Fugitive Task Force. DISCUSSION: In March 2022, the Police Department was notified that funding in the amount of $150,000 would be made available for the Riverside Police Department's participation on the USMS Regional Fugitive Task Force. This amount is $24,800 more than the amount of the appropriation approved by City Council on March 15, 2022. Therefore, the Department is returning to City Council for approval of a supplemental appropriation for the additional funding. The funding will be used for the reimbursement of overtime costs for participation in the USMS Regional Fugitive Task Force. Task forces help the Riverside Police Department to insure a well - coordinated law enforcement effort and increase the flow of intelligence information among the various law enforcement agencies in the region. The funds are distributed based on the Federal Fiscal Year, which spans October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, it is anticipated that approximately $112,500 will be received in FY 2021/22 (July 1 through June 30) with the remaining funding in the approximate amount of $37,500 received in FY 2022/23. The timing of the reimbursements may vary dependent upon overtime worked by assigned officers. Once the maximum reimbursement is reached, which could occur during the current fiscal year (July 1 through June 30), there will be no further reimbursements.

RPD's ability to partner with Federal, County and local agencies serves to benefit the public safety of the City's diverse populations, and results in the greater public good. 2.

The partnership between RPD and other law enforcement agencies helps provide equitable distribution of public safety services. 3. Fiscal Responsibility — RPD's participation in the above-mentioned task force provides reimbursement for partnership opportunities and reduces the burden on the General Fund. 4. Innovation — RPD must constantly change and adapt to meet the community's changing needs and prepare for the future. These partnerships provide the Department with additional resources and funding to achieve this goal.
