Such services may include resources on duty as well as on overtime. The Agreement, if approved, will allow the USCP to reimburse the City of Phoenix for protective services provided by Phoenix Police Department personnel.

The Agreement will continue until it is terminated by either party. Either party may terminate the Agreement after providing 30 days written notice to the other party of the intent to terminate the MOU.
