6.0 Interagency Agreements

OVERVIEW

Interagency Agreements (IAAs) are developed annually by the TZM in conjunction with participating law enforcement agencies in the region. New IAA procedures are being developed by WTSC and this section will be updated as the new procedures are established.

HVE IAA PROCESS

The following steps and documents outline the HVE IAA process:

  • Complete the HVE Funding per Region document and return it to Jerry or Erika. Without this document, WTSC cannot create the HVE IAA paperwork.

  • Provide WTSC with a primary contact for each agency.

    • The grant's primary contact needs to have an account in WEMS. If this person does not have an account, notify Jerry or Erika so that an account can be set up with the appropriate level of access. Alternatively, you can set up an account for your partner agencies using the WEMS Account Setup job aid.

  • After WTSC approves and creates each HVE IAA, the grant's primary contact will be notified so that they can log into WEMS to review it. Provide your primary contacts with the HVE IAA guide to assist them in this process.

  • If at any point an agency cannot figure out the WEMS workflow process, WTSC can generate a PDF version of the IAA and email it to them.
