ADDENDUM to Task Force Agreement
This agreement is an addendum to the HIDTA State and Local Task Force Agreement dated July 2nd, 2025 (“Task Force Agreement”), between the United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)and the City of Corona by and through the Corona Police Department. The DEA is authorized to enter into this cooperative agreement concerning the use and abuse of controlled substances under the provisions of 21 U.S.C. § 873.
1. The term of the Agreement shall be effective from the date in paragraph number one (1) through September 30, 2026.
2. Except as modified by this addendum, the Task Force Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
MODIFICATIONS:
1. The federal, state, and local members (the "Participants") of the Los Angeles High Intensity Trafficking Area/Southern California Drug Task Force (“HIDTA/SCDTF”), hereby agree to the following terms and conditions of this Addendum governing the Task Force's equitable sharing requests and participation in the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") Equitable Sharing Program:
2. Participants acknowledge that equitable sharing is at the discretion of the Attorney General and not guaranteed in any case. Participants acknowledge that sharing will not be awarded in a case if victims have not been fully compensated.
3. Participants acknowledge equitable sharing is based upon the total number of Task Force Officers (TFO) assigned to the HIDTA/SCDTF. Each Participants' "share" of the asset is based on the total number of TFOs each Participant has assigned to the HIDTA/SCDTF at the time of the asset's seizure.
4. Participants understand that if a non-HIDTA/SCDTF member receives an equitable share based upon their contribution, then the HIDTA/SCDTF Participants' shares shall be reduced proportionately. Participants further understand that additional adjustments may be necessary to ensure that DEA (DOJ) receives a minimum of 20%.
5. Participants further understand that the federal decision-makers on each equitable sharing request retain discretion to modify percentages as deemed appropriate based on the facts and circumstances in each case.
6. The following are the HIDTA/SCDTF Participants and their current TFO contribution and sharing percentages:
