Resolution No. 2022-R0363
City of
Lubbock
TEXAS
To: Jeanelle Wadkins, Captain — Investigations Bureau
From: Marcus Wall, Lieutenant — Metro/Major Crimes — Investigations Bureau 21OW
Subject: Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit Interlocal Agreement — Fiscal Review 2022
Date: September 1, 2022
We are in the process of renewing the Lubbock Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit (Metro) Interlocal
Agreement. This renewable agreement will continue to govern the collaborative investigative efforts of
the Lubbock County Sheriffs Office and the Lubbock Police Department in response to violent crime
in Lubbock County.
Exhibit B, of the current Interlocal agreement, requires a fiscal review and report to the City Council
prior to renewal. I have attached Exhibit B, as it directs both participating agencies to complete this
requirement. In response to Exhibit B, I submit the following fiscal review and report for the Metro
unit's anticipated operational costs and activities for FY2022-23.
HIGHLIGHTS
Since the introduction of the Metro Unit, November 2018, Metro has successfully investigated 145
high profile cases. This number includes 99 homicide investigations and 44 special investigations. Of
the 44 special investigations, 11 were officer involved shootings and 11 were in -custody death
investigations at the Lubbock County Detention Center.
To date, all but 3 homicide investigations have been either closed or cleared by arrest. The only open
homicide investigations are Lubbock Police Department homicides under LPD #20-656, LPD #21-
34089 and LPD #21-49494.
FISCAL REVIEW
I have completed a fiscal review and report for the associated costs relating to the Lubbock Police
Department continuing to partner with the Lubbock County Sheriffs Office in staffing the Metro unit. I
have attached the comparative compensation data and a detailed spreadsheet of all the associated
costs.
I believe the continued participation in the Metro Unit, and the mutual cooperation and sharing of
resources, has resulted in an equivalent benefit. Furthermore, the Lubbock Police Department's
continued participation will not require the City of Lubbock to provide financial compensation to
Lubbock County.
Please see the attachments for more detailed information.

investigators for the unit. Here is a breakdown of their salaries, regular and overtime rates.

Lubbock County Investigations
Homicides 2017— 2021 (including incorporated communities of Lubbock County)
Total = 8
AVG = 2 (Rolling 5-year average)
City of Lubbock Investigations
Homicides 2017 — 2021 (City of Lubbock only)
Total =118
AVG = 24 (Rolling 5-year average)
The METRO Unit is comprised of the listed County Investigators, LPD Investigators, and LPD Supervisors combined
together as a collaborative unit. METRO will work all the cases described, therefore the cost to provide services will
increase, as we take on the fiscal burden of performing an additional 3.0 investigations (average, per year).
This comparative compensation schedule reflects what Lubbock County provides to the Metro Unit to compensate the
City for investigations performed in Lubbock County. Lubbock County supplied assets and resources are applied to
fulfil this compensation requirement. in addition, Lubbock County investigators required to perform investigations
inside the City far surpasses any other calculated value.
Typical breakdown of a Metro investigation, based on 48 hours to work the case. This is not 48 hours non-stop, but a
total 48 hours over a period of days or a week.
• The percentage of time involved is greater at the beginning of an investigation, lesser as the investigation
proceeds. Typically the peak time, which may include peak OT is at the beginning of the investigation. Some of
the work may be done during normal work hours, at a straight time rate.
• Here is the percentage of responsibility for work and oversight, based on job function.
Detective =100% time applied is for investigative work
Sergeant = 50% of time applied is for supervision, 25% for investigative work, 25% for management/oversight
Commander = 75% of time applied is for management/oversight, 25% for supervision
Timeline of a notification/callout "Homicide" investieation:
If the notification/callout is after hours or a weekend, it will involve OT. If not, it will be at normal straight time pay rates.
2 Detectives (either LPD or LSO), 1 LPD Sergeant, 1 LPD Commander will respond to the callout. The detectives
could be both LPD, both LSO, and/or a combination of the two.
TYPICAL TIMELINE:
V day @ 15 hours of investigative work, 15 hours of supervision, 15 hours of management/oversight
2nd day @ 10-12 hours of investigative work, 8 hours of supervision, 8 hours of management/oversight
3d day @ 5-7 hours of investigative work, 4 hours of supervision, 4 hour of management/oversight
4' day @ 2-4 hours of investigative work, 4 hour of supervision, 4 hours of management/oversight
5' day ALL @ 10 hours (normal duty day) management, administrative/maintenance activity, report writing, etc
TIME TOTALS:
At peak time, based on the general assumptions above
• Detective(s) will work 42-48 hours per investigation (2 Detectives)
• Sergeant will work 40-41 hours per investigation (1 Sergeant)
• Commander will work 40-41 hours per investigation (1 Commander)
OT v. STRAIGHT PAY RATE:
• Will depend on the callout, GENERALLY the 11 day is OT, the remaining days are straight rates
• This only reflects base pay, (Straight or OT) does not include certification and longevity pay rates
