The United States Marshals Service will continue to provide the MBPD with a vehicle for use by
the assigned detective, and, pending the availability of funding, will reimburse the MBPD for
overtime costs consistent with the Fair Labor Standards Act, travel expenses and investigative
costs that are incurred by the detective in locating and apprehending fugitives.
