RESOLUTION 88-032 WHEREAS, the detection and apprehension of individuals operating in the field of burglary and other related property offenses is often hindered because the range of operations of the criminal offender is greater than the jurisdiction of the peace officers called upon to investigate the crime; and, WHEREAS, individuals engaged in burglary and other property crimes often commit criminal offenses in numerous counties and cities during a brief period of time in a continuing scheme of criminal conduct; and WHEREAS, individuals engaged in burglary and other property crimes are often involved in the use, manufacture and sale of illicit drugs; and WHEREAS, the North East Texas area is so structured that the efforts of a single law enforcement agency are often inadequate to detect and apprehend individuals committing criminal acts in numerous counties and cities; and WHEREAS, past experience in the North East Texas area has indicted that a cooperative effort between the cities and counties in the area has been effective in detecting and deter- ring the activities of individuals engaged in burglary and other crimes to the mutual benefit of all the cities and counties in the North East Texas area; and WHEREAS, the Texas Legislature as enacted V.T.C.A. Local Government Code ~362. 002, to encourage the formation of mutual aid law enforcement task forces to cooperate in the investigation of criminal activity and enforcement of the laws of this state; and WHEREAS, The City of Paris, Paris, Texas, and other approv- ing law enforcement agencies have indicated their desire to participate in and be a part of a cooperative investigative effort to be known as and designated as the Multi-Agency Special Investigative Task Force; BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, That the Mayor of the City of Paris be, and he is hereby authorized to execute an Agreement on behalf of the City of Paris, as a member participant in the Multi-Agency Special Investigative Task Force; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, That the Mayor of the City of Paris, be, and he is hereby authorized to execute amendments thereto which add additional member participants as defined in said agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
