Dear Chief Marzocca:

The Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) collaboration with our state and local partners has
consistently demonstrated that our enforcement efforts against major drug trafficking organizations
are successful because of our law enforcement partnerships throughout the state. I invite you to
continue your participation in DEA’s Task Force Program and include for your review, the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2021 Task Force Agreement(s).

According to our records, your office currently participates in the DEA’s Phoenix Task Force
located in Glendale, with a commitment of one full-time investigator. As outlined in the Agreement,
each position is now eligible for overtime reimbursement of up to “25% of a GS-12, Step 1, of the
general pay scale for the Rest of the United States,” equivalent to a dollar amount of $19,180.25, per
position, for the fiscal year.

To ensure a seamless transition to the new fiscal year, a signature and return of the enclosed FY
2021 DEA Task Force Agreements and attached Certifications Regarding Lobbying; Department
Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters; and Drug-Free Workplace Requirements is required
by September 30, 2020. If your office anticipates a delay, please notify my office’s new point of
contact, Program Support Specialist Erica Curry, at (571) 362-0476 or via email at:
Erica.C.Curry@usdoj.gov.

I look forward to our continued success in drug law enforcement. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (571) 387-3275.

Sincerely,

Cheri A. Oz
Special Agent in Charge
