The reimbursement is coordinated through the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS), Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) grant fund. The City of Pleasant Hill receives an annual reimbursement for costs associated with the officer amounting to approximately $97,359. The City uses these funds for an additional officer.
