MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

This memorandum of understanding (MOD) between the San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD)
and the County of San Bernardino Probation Department (Probation) defines the operating agreements
between the two organizations as they administer the grant funded juvenile accountability program
known as IMP ACT (based on a successful program in Boston called "Night Light").
A police sergeant provided by The San Bernardino Police Department and a supervising probation
officer provided by Probation will share supervision responsibilities.
The sergeant will provide field supervision for all subordinate members assigned to the program and
provide necessary input for probation officer (PO) performance evaluations to Probation. The
Probation supervisor will provide input to the program to insure goals are achieved. This supervisor
will also be responsible for probation issues normally handled by Probation. These include, but are not
limited to, completion of reports, payroll, and the court filing of probation violations and other court
documents.

for assigrunent by the participating agencies will staff the program. Five police officers from SBPD
and five probation officers from Probation staff the program.

one year. SBPD and Probation, however, retain the right to move personnel to accomplish individual
agency needs and to conform to City of San Bernardino and County of San Bernardino personnel rules.
Each agency agrees that placement in the program should be based on past favorable job performance,
specialized experience which will enhance the accomplishment of the goals of the program, and the
