AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Consent une 20, 2011 Bob Kluntz, Police Ca tain ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Resolution Approving the State of Minnesota Joint Powers Tim Simon, Finance Director Agreement with the City of Elk River on Behalf of its City REVIEWED BY Attorney and Police Department ACTION REQUESTED Adopt attached resolution approving the State of Minnesota Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Elk River Police Department and City Attorney's Office. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The State of Minnesota, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, is now the financial agent for the Minnesota Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force for this region. As a member of this task force, the Elk River Police Department works with the Bureau and other agencies of ICAC to help prevent and investigate crimes where children are victimized over the internet; including child pornography and solicitation for sex. Through this agreement the task force is able to offer free training to our staff and offers investigative assistance with these often complex cases. In return the police department has a detective assigned as a liaison to the task force, and that person aids in starting initial case investigations when the jurisdiction is not yet known. The resolution refers to two joint powers agreements but only one is attached for your review. The Council approved the other agreement in September 2010. That agreement is with the BCA and is the "Master" agreement that is used to facilitate all their services. The ICAC program requires a second JPA due to the fact that it is funded through a federal grant. FINANCIAL IMPACT None ATTACHMENTS Cover Letter from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
