BACKGROUND: During the large, multi -department City events (Main Street Fest, GrapeFest, July 4th, and the Christmas Capital of Texas), the Grapevine Police Department solicits law enforcement assistance from a number of area law enforcement agencies.

The Department has been successful in garnering assistance from these law enforcement agencies, on an as -needed basis. After each special event, the Department notifies the agencies that participated in a special event which personnel worked and the hours worked. An invoice is then received from the participating agencies and payment is made. Staff recommends approval.
