that agency, in the reasonable opinion of its Chief Law Enforcement Officer or designee,
to specific cases as appropriate and as approved by the Control Board to facilitate
efficient and effective investigations.
5. AGENCY WITHDRAWAL FROM OR APPLICATION TO MOU: Participation in
the multi-agency investigative efforts of MDENT is voluntary. If a participating agency
desires to withdraw from this MOU, written notification of such withdrawal will be
provided to each participating agency thirty days prior to withdrawal. Such withdrawal
does not absolve the participating agency of any financial responsibilities incurred prior
to the withdrawal. Additional agencies wishing to become members of MDENT may do
so upon written application to and approval by the Control Board. Such new agencies
must execute an addendum agreeing to the terms of the MOU in effect at the time of
approval by the Control Board.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL GUIDELINES: Participating agencies agree to
follow procedures relating to case management, reporting requirements, fiscal guidelines,
and other appropriate policies as adopted by the Control Board and that are consistent
with the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, subtitle K – State and Local Law Enforcement
Assistance Act of 1986 and/or the Policy Board and DCJS.
7. OWNERSHIP AND USE OF MDENT EQUIPMENT: Equipment and other personal
property purchased with Operating Account funds and utilized for fulfilling the purpose
of MDENT will be retained by grantee after the requirements of all applicable DCJS
grants have been satisfied or have expired. Grantee’s retention of any such equipment or
property will be made in accord with established policies and practices set by the Policy
Board and the DCJS. It is further agreed that participating agencies may request use of
this equipment and property, consistent with each agency’s guidelines, at any future time
so long as such request or use does not inconvenience or otherwise negatively impact
grantee.

8. REAL PROPERTY PURCHASED, OWNED, OR LEASED FOR THE USE AND
BENEFIT OF MDENT:
a. If any real property is purchased by one of the participating agencies on behalf
of MDENT to be used as office space or any other MDENT purpose, such
purchase will be paid for with Operating Account funds.
b. Any real property so purchased, donated, or leased for the use and benefit of
MDENT as office space or other MDENT use, will be maintained with
Operating Account funds. The Control Board shall have the oversight and
responsibility of making the timely loan, lease, or other payments on the
property, paying for all repairs and improvements, utilities, taxes, fees,
insurance, and all other costs associated with the real property including any
improvements thereto and/or appurtenances thereof. If at any time there are
insufficient funds in the Operating Account for these expenses when due, such
expenses will be shared by the participating local agencies in MDENT at the
time such expenses are incurred. Each local agency will be responsible and
liable for an amount equal to the amount of the shortfall divided by the
number of local agency officers assigned to MDENT multiplied by the
number of officers each local agency has assigned at the time of the shortfall.
c. If any real property owned for the use and benefit of MDENT is sold, the
proceeds shall either be used to secure other office space for MDENT or
placed in the Operating Account.
d. If at any time MDENT is dissolved, any real property owned for the use and
benefit of MDENT shall be sold. The proceeds will be placed in the
Operating Account and the funds will be handled as set forth in paragraph
number nine (9) of this MOU.
9. MDENT DISSOLUTION: In the event that MDENT is dissolved, the Control Board
will ensure that all applicable financial responsibilities of MDENT are paid from the
Operating Account. Any remaining balance in the Operating Account after all financial
responsibilities are met, excluding any federal funds, shall be distributed to the local
agencies participating in MDENT at the time of its dissolution. If there are insufficient
funds in the Operating Account to satisfy all financial responsibilities or liabilities, any
remaining financial responsibilities and liabilities will be divided among these same local
agencies. The formula for the distribution of assets or liabilities shall be the total
applicable amount divided by the number of local agency officers assigned to MDENT
multiplied by the number of officers each local agency has assigned at the time of
dissolution.
10. SALARY, BENEFIT, AND OVERTIME REIMBURSEMENT:
a. Reimbursement to local agencies for officers assigned to MDENT will be
made for base salary and benefits as set by the Policy Board, but such
4
Page | 32 of
reimbursement shall not exceed $28,000. Unless specifically authorized by
grant award, reimbursement will not be made for overtime earned by officers
assigned to MDENT.
b. Federal Agencies will not receive reimbursements, including any
reimbursement for salary, benefits, or overtime.
c. For overtime reimbursement for officers authorized by a grant award, each
local agency will be limited to the overtime hours or amounts authorized by
the award.
d. Monies awarded for overtime reimbursement will be distributed upon
submission of applicable documentation to the grantee in an amount not to
exceed the limit set by the Policy Board.
e. Any AHIDTA overtime funds awarded for compensation shall be reimbursed
in accordance with the policies and guidelines of that program.
11. FORFEITURES: Forfeitures will be administratively processed pursuant to the
following terms:
a. Forfeitures may be utilized as approved by the Control Board to meet
MDENT’s stated purpose.
b. The participating Federal Agencies do not receive any share of assets secured
by direct forfeiture or by an “open bid” sale in most state and local cases. In
any case where a Federal Agency elects to receive a share of the forfeiture, the
Federal Agency will process the forfeiture pursuant to federal guidelines. It
shall be the responsibility of each participating local agency that desires to
seek a portion of the federally forfeited property to complete a United States
Department of Justice DAG-71 Application for Transfer of Federally
Forfeited Property. If a Federal Agency processes the forfeiture, then the
provisions of subparagraph (f.) of this paragraph eleven (11) do not apply.
c. Forfeitures conveyed to local agencies through equitable sharing or pursuant
to a completed DAG-71 are to be utilized for law enforcement purposes only,
consistent with federal and Policy Board forfeiture guidelines.
d. Real or personal property forfeited to MDENT that cannot be directly used to
meet the stated purpose of MDENT will either be sold by an “open bid”
process or disposed of in a manner approved by the Control Board in
accordance with established federal and Policy Board guidelines for such
forfeitures. Any monies secured by the sale of such property that are not
processed federally will be deposited in the Operating Account, as required by
subparagraph (e.) of this paragraph eleven (11).
5
Page | 33 of
e. Cash, either directly forfeited or secured by the sale of real or personal
property, that are not processed federally will be maintained in the Operating
Account until spent for MDENT purposes or distributed to the local agencies
consistent with this paragraph. The Policy Board sets a required minimum
percentage of forfeited funds, less administrative costs, that must be used to
cover the day-to-day operations of a drug task force during each grant award
period. For the term of this MOU the Policy Board has MDENT’s minimum
percentage at forty (40) percent. The Policy Board also permits each drug
task force to establish a percentage greater than the set minimum. As of
January 1, 2003, the Control Board established a minimum of fifty (50)
percent of all monies secured as a result of forfeitures, after administrative
costs have been removed, be held in the Operating Account to be used for
day-to-day operations, with the remaining fifty (50) percent to be distributed
among the local agencies as consistent with subparagraph (f.) of this
paragraph eleven (11).
f. Forfeited funds that are not processed by a Federal Agency shall be distributed
as follows:
1. 50% of all such non-federal forfeited funds, after payment of any
administrative costs, shall be deposited in the Operating Fund. The
remaining amount will be distributed to each local agency participating at
the time of the seizure by dividing the total applicable amount by the
number of local agency officers assigned to MDENT at the time of the
seizure multiplied by the number of officers each local agency has
assigned at the time of the seizure, not including any offers assigned to the
Interdiction Team.
2. For seizures made by the Interdiction Team, 50% of all such non-federal
forfeited funds, after payment of any administrative costs, shall be
deposited in the MDENT Operating Fund. The remaining amount will be
distributed to each local agency which have officers assigned to the
Interdiction Team at the time of the seizure by dividing the total applicable
amount by the number of officers assigned to the Interdiction Team at the
time of the seizure multiplied by the number of officers each local agency
has assigned to the Interdiction Team at the time of the seizure.
12. PROTOCOL FOR INTERACTION WITH THE NEWS MEDIA:
a. The Control Board shall set policy and procedures for media releases and/or
press conferences.
b. All media releases shall be made in the name of MDENT. Each release shall
name all of the participating agencies.
6
Page | 34 of
c. Unless special circumstances exist, individual MDENT officers will not be
identified or photographed.
d. No information about MDENT operations or individual investigations will be
released to the media until approved by the official with applicable
prosecutorial authority.
1. If jurisdiction involves a federal prosecution, the United States
Attorney of the Southern District of West Virginia must approve any
release of information to the media.
2. If jurisdiction involves a state prosecution, the Prosecuting Attorney in
the county where the case will be prosecuted must approve any release
of information to the media.
13. REPLACEMENT/REMOVAL OF OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO MDENT:
a. All employing agencies will allow officers assigned to MDENT to complete
all material assignments prior to the officer’s removal from, or replacement
on, MDENT, unless conditions involving willful misconduct or other
extenuating circumstances exist which would adversely affect MDENT
operations and/or reputation if such removal is delayed.
b. If any MDENT officer engages in misconduct, conduct unbecoming an
officer, or any activity which requires an administrative investigation to
determine the propriety of disciplinary action, the employing agency shall be
solely responsible for any and all disciplinary action. The Task Force
Commander shall immediately notify the Control Board members and the
employing agency of any such behavior of which he or she becomes aware.
Notwithstanding, the Control Board may remove any officer from MDENT
upon reasonable belief that the officer engaged in misconduct, conduct
unbecoming, or any other improper behavior or of activities. The employing
agency shall be notified of any decision by the Control Board to remove an
assigned officer and the employing agency may submit the name of a
replacement officer for the Control Board’s consideration and approval.
14. LIABILITY AND INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS:
a. Each employing agency shall be solely responsible for the negligent acts,
omissions, and/or wrongdoing of its officers, whether alleged or established,
and for any and all claims of liability related thereto. As between the parties to
this MOU, unless otherwise agreed in writing, each employing agency shall
be solely responsible for defending against any claim against its officer, and
for payment of any and all resulting fees, costs, or damages related thereto.
b. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no employing agency shall be responsible
for defending against or paying for any civil liability arising out of negligent
acts, omissions, and/or wrongdoing of officers or other personnel assigned to
7
Page | 35 of
MDENT from another employing agency. For the purpose of this MOU, civil
liability includes, but is not limited to, damages of any kind, attorney fees, and
any and all costs and/or expenses incident to any civil lawsuit or
administrative claim filed by any person, business, corporation, partnership
organization, or government entity, or otherwise related to any administrative
or judicial proceeding, finding, judgment, or settlement in compromise of any
claim.
c. The employing agencies to this MOU agree that each officer assigned to
MDENT is solely an employee of his or her employing agency. The parties to
this MOU further agree that each employing agency shall be solely
responsible for providing workers compensation coverage and unemployment
coverage to each and every officer assigned to MDENT by that employing
agency.
d. Each employing agency shall maintain liability insurance coverage in an
amount of at least $1,000,000 to satisfy the liability obligations herein related
to claims arising from the alleged negligent, acts, omissions, and/or
wrongdoing of its officers/employees assigned to MDENT, and such
insurance policy shall include coverage for damage to the assigned
officer/employee’s vehicle and claims resulting from the assigned
officer/employee’s operation thereof, regardless of which agency actually
owns the vehicle. In other words, and by example only, each agency shall be
responsible for insuring, defending against and paying every claim or civil
liability arising out of the conduct of its officer/employee, regardless of where
the incident giving arise to the claim or civil liability arose and regardless of
who owned any vehicle or equipment involved. Provided: That the parties
recognize that the Federal Tort Claims Act shall be applicable to all liability
issues relating to the actions of the officers assigned to MDENT from federal
agencies.
e. As between the parties to this Agreement, the agency employing any
officer/employee assigned to MDENT will be solely responsible for any
damage to property caused by the intentional or other conduct by the
employing agency’s officer/employee which results in any denial of insurance
coverage.
