DATE:06-23-26
DEPT:POLICE
SUBJECT:AMENDED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR COMBINED LAW
ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIONS OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Central Iowa Drug Task Force (CIDTF) has been in existence since 1991. The goal of
the CIDTF has consistently been focused on interrupting the trafficking and sale of
controlled substances. The nature of drug trafficking frequently leads to larger scale, more
complex, inter-jurisdictional investigations. Although agency membership has changed over
time, the Ames Police Department, Iowa State University Department of Public Safety, Story
County Sheriff's Office, Story County Attorney, Boone County Sheriff's Office, City of Boone,
as well as State partners are the current members.
The CIDTF operates through an Intergovernmental Agreement. An amendment has
been prepared to clarify that officers and investigators to the task force maintain
authority to investigate and charge offenses tangentially related to the trafficking and
sales of controlled substances. Officers will also assist other agencies and task forces
in their respective investigations as necessary, and respond to calls for assistance. The
amendment is attached for the City Council's review and approval.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the attached Intergovernmental Agreement for Combined Law Enforcement
Investigations of Controlled Substances as amended.
2. Do not approve the Intergovernmental Agreement for Combined Law Enforcement
Investigations of Controlled Substances as amended.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The work of the Central Iowa Drug Task Force is typically rated as a high priority in the City's
annual Citizen Satisfaction Survey. In addition, the nature of illegal controlled substance
distribution often requires shared investigative resources and multi-jurisdictional cooperation.
The amendment only clarifies the current practice that task force officers may also
investigate other offenses tangentially related to the investigation of the trafficking and
sale of controlled substances. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that
the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as described above.
