Task Force MOU Worksheet
Management has a duty to ensure their task forces have the necessary resources to efficiently and safely carry out an operation. In some situations, internal resources or skillsets may be lacking and managers must seek assistance from outside agencies. Depending on the type of assistance required, there are different types of agreements that can be put in place for the collaborative effort. Research types of agreements commonly used in law enforcement, including the memorandum of understanding (MOU), and the memorandum of agreement (MOA).
