This Interlocal agreement provides stability <br /> for those Metro Units and defines the role and expectations of all parties. It maintains the integrity <br /> of the Metro Units which helps promote safety of the community. The agreement solidifies the <br /> local relationship between the Prosecutor's Office and the SBPD and it is mutually beneficial.The <br /> Interlocal Agreement covers the Metro Homicide Unit, the Drug Investigation Unit, and the <br /> Special Victims Unit. Under the terms of the agreement,the SBPD will provide thirteen (13)full- <br /> time officers to the unit while providing funding for three (3) additional officers to be hired at the <br /> discretion of the Prosecutor. Police recruiting is difficult and it takes approximately a year for a <br /> new officer to become fully independent. <br /> INTEGRITY1 SERVICES ACCESSIBILITY <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BLANCA L.Tnw)o JOSEPH R MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/D==R OF OPERATIONS DEPLny/Dnu=oR or Poucv ORDINANCE VIOLAnON CLERIC <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1 227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.92211 f 574.235.9173 1 www.southbendin.gov <br />
