53. COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FOR THE JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE Approve the Cost Reimbursement Agreement (CRA) between the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO). The CRA is an annex to the FBI JTTF Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 11, 2024, under C-50-25-063-X-00. The CRA affirms the authority of the FBI to pay overtime for police officers assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) as set forth in the agreement. The agreement governs the overall reimbursement process. The agreement identifies: • The requirement for pre-approval of deputies assigned to JTTF • The preparation of an official document identifying each deputy assigned full-time to JTTF • How overtime can be calculated • How often reimbursement requests be made and how they should be submitted • What identifiers should be included on the reimbursement requests • How payment will be remitted The purpose of the JTTF is to ensure that there is a robust capability to deter, defeat and respond vigorously to terrorism in the U.S. or against any U.S. interest through the combined utilization of federal, state, local and tribal agencies that are involved in fighting terrorism to coordinate and share information and resources.
