II. BACKGROUND
The USCP is a federal law enforcement agency under the Legislative Branch of
Government. It is the mission of the USCP to protect the Congress — its Members,
employees, visitors, and facilities -- so it can fulfill its constitutional and legislative
responsibilities in a safe, secure and open environment. The USCP Dignitary
Protection Division (DPI)) is a subset of the USCP Protective Services Bureau
(PSB) and has the statutory requirement pursuant to 2 U.S.C. §1966 to protect the
Members of Congress when security considerations so require. In order to fulfill
this responsibility, DPD requires augmentation of its capabilities in the form of
uniformed law enforcement officers at a Member's residence in his home district.
The City of Redlands Police Department (RPD) is the law enforcement agency of
Redlands, California. It is dedicated to the community and strives to build and
maintain the greatest level of trust and confidence of its citizens. Through positive
partnerships with its citizens and businesses, it serves the community with the
highest standards of honor, integrity and professionalism to protect, life, property,
and the environment for all who live, work, visit or commute within the RPD's
jurisdiction.
III. PURPOSE
A. The purpose of this MOU is to set forth the terms by which the USCP will
reimburse the City for the protective services specified in Section IV(A),
such services to commence on July 19, 2022.
B. This MOU is an agreement between the Parties and is not intended and
should not be construed, to create or confer any other person or entity any
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or otherwise
against City, USCP, or any state, locality, or other entity.
