Subject:Rendition Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Fugitive Unit is often contacted for information and advice regarding fugitive cases being handled by individual law
enforcement agencies. Contracting extradition and rendition services with the Office of the Sheriff Fugitive Unit is the
best available alternative for police agencies within the county due to our specially trained staff. The benefits of this
arrangement to both individual police agencies and the Office of the Sheriff are considerable. For a reasonable flat
fee, municipalities can quickly turn over this complicated process to officers who are training and experienced in the
rendition process. The establishment of such an agreement will also have the added benefit of implementing a more
consistent and timely disposition of fugitive cases within Contra Costa County.
This action would result in the Sheriff's Office entering into contracts with the following agencies for rendition
services:
Antioch Police Department, Bay Area Rapid Transit, Brentwood Police Department, Clayton Police Department
Concord Police Department, East Bay Regional Parks Police Department, El Cerrito Police Department, Hercules
Police Department, Moraga Police Department, Martinez Police Department, Pinole Police Department, Pittsburg
Police Department, Pleasant Hill Police Department, Richmond Police Department, San Pablo Police Department, San
Ramon Police Department, Walnut Creek Police Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Office of the Sheriff would be unable to provide this specialized service to other agencies.
