SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF

BUREAU (NICB) AND THE CITY OF PUEBLO RELATING TO
AUTHORIZED ACCESS TO NICB RESOURCES TO ASSIST IN THE

SUMMARY:
Attached is a memorandum of understanding which, upon execution, will allow the
Pueblo Police Department to have continued access to resources which the department
uses to investigate theft and fraud-related crimes.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
NICB maintains a database of information to assist law enforcement in the investigation
of theft and fraud-related crimes. This is possible through a collaborative effort
between insurance companies, the people they serve, and law enforcement agencies
across the country. NICB also provides additional support to law enforcement through
training opportunities, documents, and other investigative assistance. These efforts are
intended to both solve and prevent crime.
The Pueblo Police Department has relied upon NICB’s assistance and expertise in the
past with respect to conducting investigations locally. The Pueblo Police Department
considers these resources to be extremely important to its mission of solving/preventing
crime and would like to continue its relationship with NICB in order to do so. In order to
obtain continued access to these resources, NICB is requiring participating agencies to
agree to a memorandum of understanding with NICB.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications with respect to this ordinance.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council can choose to decline entering into the agreement and the Pueblo Police
Department will lose access to NICB resources.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the ordinance.
