BACKGROUND: During the large, multi-department City events (Main Street Fest, Grape
Fest, 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
Northlake Police Department
North Richland Hills Police Department
Richland Hills Police Department
Roanoke Police Department
Southlake Police Department
Watauga Police Department
White Settlement Police Department
Trophy Club Police Department
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 and identifies which
personnel worked and the hours worked. An invoice is then received from
the participating agencies and payment is made.
Staff recommends approval.
