CITIES OF AUBURN, FEDERAL WAY, KENT, RENTON, SEATTLE, TUKWILA,
AND THE PORT OF SEATTLE FOR THE
VALLEY IVAItCOYYCS EIVFOftCEMIEi11T YE/4P�1
I. PARTIES
The parties to this Agreement are the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent,
Renton, Seattle, and Tukwila, and the Port of Seattle.
The Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team is assigned to the Drug Enforcement
Administration ("DEA") Task Force.
%I. AUTHORI'1'Y
This Agreement is entered into pursuant to Chapters 10.93, 39.34, and 53.08
of the Revised Code of Washington.
III. PURPOSE
The parties desire to establish and maintain a multi-jurisdictional team to
effectively investigate and enforce the criminal laws relating to controlled
substances.
IV. FORNIATIOiV
There is hereby established a multi-jurisdictional team to be hereafter known
as the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team ("VNET"), the members of which
shall be the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Seattle, and
Tukwila, and the Port of Seattle. The future admission or elimination of a
jurisdiction as a member of VNET may be accomplished by an addendum to
this Agreement.
V. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Municipalities within the Puget Sound region have experienced an increase in
urbanization and population densities. The ability to address crimes -
associated with controlled substances may stretch the resources of individual
police department specialty units.
Prior to the formation of VNET, law enforcement efforts directed at dealing
with controlled substances crimes were, for the most pait, conducted by law
enforcement agencies working independently. A multi-jurisdictional effort to
handle specific and compJicated narcotic investigations has resulted in more
effective pooling of personnel, the improved utilization of scarce funds, a
- reduction in the duplication of equipment, improved tcaining, and a
development of specialized expertise. The formation of VNET:has resulted in
improved services for all of the participating entities, increased 'safety for
officers and the community, and improved cost effectiveness.
VI. TEAM OB7ECTIVES
Personnel from each participating jurisdiction who are assigned to VNET will
form a combined investigation team (��Team"). Each police officer is assigned �
Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team Interlocal Agreement- 1
to the Team via this Agreement, and to the DEA through individual
jurisdiction agreements with DEA.
The objective of the VNET shall be to provide enhanced and more efficient
use of personnel, equipment, budgeted funds, and training. The combined
Team or individual detectives shall respond as able and as approved by the
DEA Supervisor when requested by any of the participating agencies. VNET
may be available to outside law enforcement agencies as permitted by laws
relating to mutual aid and as approved by the DEA.
!/YI. DURATIOIV/TEIt1M%IVAT%OIV

A jurisdiction may withdraw its participation in VNET by providing written
notice of its withdrawal, and serving such notice upon each Executive Board
member of the remaining jurisdictions. A notice of withdrawal shall become
effective 90 days after service of the notice on all participating members.
The withdrawal of an individual jurisdiction from VNET shall not result in the

of any VNET property, shall, after payment of any and all costs of sale or
debts of the jurisdiction, be equally distributed to those jurisdictions
