Commission Memorandum
t�TrIN co
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Rich McLane, Interim Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Vehicle provided through High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA)
Grant for drug interdiction efforts.
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2015
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Ratify the City Manager's signature on the April 15, 2015
Memorandum of Understanding accepting use of 2014 Ford F150 truck for use in drug
interdiction operations.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bozeman and Bozeman Police Department has been a member
of the MISSOURI RIVER DRUG TASK FORCE (MRDTF) since 1990. The mission of the
MRDTF is to provide a collaborative federal, state and local law enforcement effort to
identify, target and address those involved in drug trafficking, manufacture and/or violence.
The MRDTF utilizes sophisticated long-term investigative approaches, including undercover
surveillance operations, the purchase of evidence and information, and electronic surveillance to
disrupt and dismantle targeted drug organizations.
One of the partners on the MRDTF is the Lewis and Clark County Attorney's Office. They have
received authority through a federal grant with HIDTA to provide a 2014 Ford F 150 pickup for
use by the Bozeman Police Department for our role in drug interdiction efforts.
This vehicle replaces a 2004 Chevrolet truck with 140,000 miles that was originally provided at
no cost to the City of Bozeman.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As the City Commission may suggest.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The City of Bozeman gains a new vehicle at no cost. The vehicle still has 1 year
of warranty coverage, so maintenance will be minimal. The City of Bozeman is responsible for
maintenance and repairs, which are a normal expected operational responsibility to cover.
