BY: Commissioner Bill Dwyer, Chairperson, Public Services Committee
IN RE: SHERIFF'S OFFICE-ADDITION OF SERGEANT POSITION FOR THE JOINT TERRORISM
TASK FORCE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Office has been requested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to
participate in the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) assigned to the Detroit Field
Division/JTTF/Counterterrorism Squad 4; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Office has participated in the *MT on a limited, part-time basis, but does not
currently have sufficient staff to assign an individual to participate on a full-time basis; and
WHEREAS in order to fully participate as a JTTF member any person assigned to this position must
obtain a priority security clearance through the Federal Government and only full-time task force
members are eligible to secure the necessary security classifications; and
WHEREAS the task force has already been involved in several investigations that have an Oakland
County nexus and given currently active world terrorism it is foreseeable that other investigations will
need to be initiated; and
WHEREAS the current staffing of the JTTF Squad 4 is 15 Special Agents, 5 support personnel and 9
Task Force members; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff is requesting a full time eligible Sergeant position with an unmarked vehicle to
support this effort; and
WHEREAS this request has vetted through the County Executive review process and is supported by the
County Executive.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves to
create one (1) GF/GP full-time eligible Sergeant position in the Sheriff's Office, Investigative Services
Division (4030915).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that one (1) unmarked vehicle with mobile radio and prep radio be added to
the County fleet.
