Parties to this M.O.A. agree that salaries and benefits associated with supervisory positions will be reimbursed by the task force fund. D. Prosecution Staff The District Attorney's Office will assign up to two prosecutors and two investigators to work alongside task force members. The prosecutors will provide legal review and file task force cases warranting criminal complaints. All task force cases will be vertically prosecuted. The District Attorney's investigator(s) will act as liaison between task force members and prosecutors and participate in investigations and the filing of criminal cases. The Parties to this M.OA. agree that salaries and benefits for these positions will be reimbursed by the task force fund. E. Investigators The task force shall be staffed by qualified detectives/investigators. Assignment to the task force shall be for a minimum of three years. Due to the sensitive nature of the position, personnel recommended for assignment will be subject to selection interviews by the coordinator and supervisors. Consideration for assignment is based on previous performance, investigative experience and ability to work well with others in a covert and close environment. Personnel not meeting acceptable standards of performance or refusing to comply with task force policies and procedures may be removed from the task force assignment. Should the task force coordinator have cause to remove a member, he/she shall discuss the issue with the participating agency. If the participating agency does not concur with the task force coordinator's decision to remove the member, the issue shall be forwarded to the Executive Committee for resolution. It is agreed, however, the resolving of operational issues at the lowest level serves the best interest of the task force. The Parties to this M.O.A. agree that salaries and benefits associated with these detectives/investigators will be reimbursed from the task force fund. Page 4 of 12
