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 agencies we partner with for this
assistance are as follows:
Bedford Police Department
Colleyville Police Department
Coppell Police Department
DFW Airport Police Department
Euless Police Department
Flower Mound Police Department
Forney Police Department
Haltom City Police Department
Hurst Police Department
Keller Police Department
North Richland Hills Police Department
Richland Hills Police Department
Roanoke Police Department
Southlake Police Department
Watauga Police Department
Trophy Club Police Deapartment
The purpose of seeking the assistance is to achieve appropriate law
enforcement personnel staffing levels for these special events. 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.
