The City and Coral Gables now wish to renew the Combined Interlocal and Mutual Aid Agreement for the continued provision of the Task Force. Human sex trafficking has become an epidemic of significant consequences to South Florida. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses violence, threats, blackmail, false promises, deception, manipulation, or debt bondage to trap vulnerable individuals and force them to engage in commercial sex acts or labor against his/her will. The victims of human sex trafficking are often exposed to serious health risks including but not limited to sexually transmitted diseases, drug and alcohol addiction, physical injuries, forced abortions, and various forms of psychological trauma. The individuals engaged in prostitution are exposed to similar physical and psychological injuries. It is the responsibility of the City and Coral Gables to continue to ensure the public safety of their citizens by providing adequate levels of police services. The City and Coral Gables have authority under the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969, Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, to enter into interlocal agreements to jointly exercise any power, privilege, or authority which they share and which each might exercise separately. The City and Coral Gables have the authority under the Municipal Home Rule Powers Act, Section 166.011, Florida Statutes, et. seq., to enter into an interlocal agreement with an adjoining municipality within the same county to provide law enforcement services within the territorial boundaries of the other adjoining municipality. The City and Coral Gables have authority under the Mutual Aid Act, Chapter 23, Part 1, Florida Statutes, to enter into mutual aid agreements. It is in the best interests of the City and Coral Gables to renew this Combined Interlocal Agreement and Mutual Aid Agreement ("Agreement"). The purpose of this Agreement is to renew a Joint Enforcement Zone of a Multi -Agency Anti -Prostitution and Human Trafficking Task Force ("MAAPTF") intended to combat human trafficking, prostitution, and other related criminal violations. The MAAPTF seeks to disrupt human trafficking, prostitution, and other related criminal activity through joint proactive law enforcement operations in order to investigate, apprehend, and successfully prosecute offenders engaging in such activity within the Joint Enforcement Zone.
