N/A 27 PART C PROJECT INFORMATION/SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT FFY06 Federal Funds Requested $442,762.00 FY05 Federal Funds Award:$191,971.00 B/C Needs/Problems to be Addressed Summary of Mission Statement: Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force The Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force was established in 1991 to implement a coordinated and cooperative effort by its member agents in the aggressive enforcement and prosecution of organized drug distribution networks that infiltrated the regional metro and rural areas. By putting forth a coordinated and combined effort, the Task Force will serve as a conduit for Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies in the enforcement and prosecution of drug offenders and denial of illegally gained assets. We now enter our sixteenth year of partnership and participation with the Governor's Office of Drug Control Policy and continue to adhere to our original mission statement with the assigned area of responsibility, Black Hawk and Bremer counties, covering a geographical area of 1000 square miles. This geographical area combines large tracts of rural agricultural areas with densely populated cities making a base of approximately 185,000 people. This area includes a diverse population of ethnic, cultural, religious and social economic backgrounds. This diverse ethnicity,with their own language and customs,provides additional challenges to the Task Force agents and administrators. While the drug problems continue to spiral out of control,the Federal participation and monetary assistance that supports the state and local enforcement efforts continues to decline. State and local governmental agencies have attempted to provide increased manpower and funding to offset the Federal funding decline at a time when their own resources have been severely strained. The local budgets have been pushed to the breaking point forcing administrators to make tough decisions as they try to balance their monetary and manpower resources at a time when the drugs of abuse, such as methamphetamine and crack cocaine, increase their hold and influence on all segments of society. The problems and concerns that we continue to address under our charter remain constant with additional resources being directed toward education in an effort to reduce new converts into the illegal drug culture and its sphere of influence. We continue to attempt ongoing infiltration and destruction of organized criminal drug distribution networks and maintain pressure on individuals and organizations that continue to expand illegal clandestine methamphetamine labs. Some participating agencies in the Task Force assist with the new Drug Court Program in Black Hawk County that was started in 2005 under a separate grant. Drug Court attempts to rehabilitate drug users who commit non-violent, non-dealer crimes. This program when combined with the increased focus on education is an attempt to decrease the demand of the illicit drugs. 28 Although the home based methamphetamine labs have seen a reduction in numbers due to new state legislation regulating pseudoephedrine,we still maintain a core of certified lab personnel in order to deal with the labs and toxic sites. This core of lab certified law enforcement agents is maintained in attempts to keep the overtime costs down. The methamphetamine epidemic that continues to wreak havoc throughout the state has been especially noticeable within our area of responsibility. Utilizing the Iowa Department of Public Safety statistics for the past several years, our area has consistently earned the dubious distinction of having a significant majority of the labs and dumpsites. Within our area of responsibility we are consistently within the top three of reportable labs and dump sites decontaminated within the state. We continue to cooperate in long term OCDETF investigations that target major drug distribution networks and have destroyed several ongoing criminal drug enterprises resulting in numerous arrests, successful prosecutions, denial of assets and incarceration of the individuals. Competing criminal organizations continue to attempt to fill the drug distribution void left by these incarnations with instances of intimidation, street violence, home invasions and homicides. Sufficient manpower is necessary to handle this increase in violence and attack criminal organizations that fill this void or the cycle only worsens. D. OVERALL MISSION AND EXPECTED RESULT The mission of the Task Force remains the same as it did when formed: to serve as a conduit and coordinating body serving Federal, state and local law enforcement and agencies to reduce the sale and distribution of illicit drugs by the destruction of the criminal enterprises associated with the trafficking of controlled substances, prosecution and incarceration of repeat and violent offenders and denial of any accrued assets. E. KEY PARTICIPANTS The Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force remains a hands-on coordinated enforcement body. The participatory governing board consisting of the administrative executives of the ten member agencies remains committed to the project. Agencies providing full time personnel include: Black Hawk County Sheriff and Black Hawk County Attorney, Cedar Falls Police Department and Iowa National Guard. The lead agency, Waterloo Police Department provides a Project Coordinator(Lieutenant), a Field Coordinator(Sergeant) and two investigators. Committed to part time support on an as needed basis are Bremer County Sheriff, and the police agencies of Hudson, LaPorte City, Evansdale, Waverly and the University of Northern Iowa Public Safety. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, formerly a full time participant, currently maintains a part time commitment due to Homeland Security issues. Task Force agents work closely with the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District and the State DNE and DCI agents. The Task Force agents maintain professional working relationships with a cross section of Federal, state and local law enforcement entities. 29 PART C CONTINUED-PROJECT EVALUATION The affiliated agencies and agents that comprise the Task Force remain committed to our mission statement. The Task Force devotes its resources to the destruction of the drug networks, seizure of all assets,with the apprehension,prosecution and conviction of all participants. During our tenure with the Justice Assistance Grant Program, we have always strived to adhere to our mission statement and believe that we have fulfilled our charter in our war on drugs. Our regional area of responsibility covers a geographical area of 1000 square miles with a population base of 185,000 people. This is a diverse mixture of cultures and ethnic backgrounds including an influx of Bosnian and Hispanic immigrants creating new challenges in drug investigations due to language and cultural issues. We also have a heavy concentration of educational facilities that bring in an estimated 13,000 full and part time students from all over the world. Full time representatives from the Black Hawk County Attorney, Iowa National Guard and part time participation from the Federal Bureau of Investigation compliment the full time participants from Black Hawk County Sheriff, Cedar Falls Police and Waterloo Police. The Waterloo Police Department also assigns a Sergeant as a Field Coordinator and Lieutenant as a Project Coordinator with responsibility for overseeing the day to day operations and maintaining compliance with the state and Federal statutes and grant regulations. The Task Force is further complimented with part time participation on an as needed basis by agents from Bremer County Sheriff's Office, Waverly, LaPorte City, Hudson,Evansdale police departments and the University of Northern Iowa Public Safety. All participants report to a Board of Directors made up of the affiliated agency administrators. Utilizing resources from a variety of local, state and Federal agencies we have successfully completed several OCDETF cases utilizing pen registers and wiretaps. Through the use of these combined resources and technology, several criminal drug enterprises with numerous defendants were severely crippled or totally destroyed. The destruction of these organizations halted the importation of significant amounts of methamphetamine, cocaine, crack and marijuana into the metro area. The destruction of these major criminal enterprises has brought on a drug war that continues to this day as outside dealers attempt to fill the void. This has resulted in home invasions, sexual and physical assaults and murders, some of which remain open cases today. Investigator's attempts to generate new leads are met with total silence as potential witnesses fear for their lives and the lives of family members. The violence continues to escalate with the criminal enterprises constantly trying to out do each other resulting in numerous acts of intimidation and shootings often with innocent victims being caught in the crossfire. 30 During the reporting period covered under authority of the most recent grant, a total of three hundred and twenty-eight were arrested with an additional fifteen individuals facing pending charges. Eleven of the defendants have been referred to the United States Attorney for Federal prosecution. Sixty defendants were charged with Iowa Drug Tax Stamp violations and were referred to the Iowa Department of Revenue. A total of five hundred and forty-two cases were opened with the category breakdown as follows: Delivery of controlled substances-162, Manufacture of controlled substances- 126,Possession with intent-111, Simple possession-99 and Weapons violations-44. During the reporting period, 43.7 pounds of marijuana was seized, 528 grams of cocaine, 17.5 pounds of methamphetamine, 399 grams of ICE, 335 grams of crack, 578 grams of ephedrine, 184 tabs of ecstasy and 4 grams of mushrooms. The total street value of illegal drugs seized valued at $1,109,189.00. The Task Force agents executed 71 search warrants and conducted 24 consent searches. During these searches a total of 69 firearms were seized, 8 vehicles and$156,265.00 in currency. Total of seized assets valued at $255,192.00. The current plague of methamphetamine labs and dumps has declined due to recent legislation placing restrictions on some of the critical components but due to their toxic nature they still demand immediate attention and consume Task Force resources. We continue to direct a disproportionate amount of manpower, equipment and monetary resources toward these home grown labs. The lab/site dependent on location places a tremendous risk on unsuspecting citizens, responding public safety personnel and the offenders themselves. The toxic and explosive chemicals associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine in the hands of the impaired amateur chemist continues to pose a significant public safety hazard. Hundreds of manpower hours are dedicated to the investigation and decontamination of the meth labs and dump sites. Although the amount of finished product is not always significant,the toxic properties and the numerous start up sites demand immediate attention with sufficiently trained and certified personnel. During the grant reporting period the agents responded to 118 lab/sites for decontamination. During the grant period we have seen a significant increase in out-of-state organized drug distribution and criminal gangs importing illegal drugs into the metro area. The gangs generally conform to specific ethnic origins and are made that much more difficult to infiltrate. Language barriers further complicate efforts of the Task Force agents. The importation increase began prior to and after the pseudoephedrine legislation with increases of methamphetamine and ICE, a purer form of methamphetamine, imported from out-of-state. Methamphetamine and ICE have dramatically elevated their presence in this area necessitating extensive investigations into these distribution networks. 31 Effects of Zero or Reduced Funding As society continues it overpowering addiction and captivation with the powerful drug methamphetamine, coupled with all other addictive drugs such as crack cocaine, more public safety resources are consumed in the ongoing battle to reduce distribution and production of illicit drugs. Local and state agencies are facing tough choices in directing manpower and monetary resources due to shrinking budgets, however,the criminal drug enterprises continue to flourish and expand, generating huge profits and in the process, promoting extreme violence, destroying families and consuming lives. Our own area of responsibility,Black Hawk and Bremer Counties,mirrors these critical social problems and concerns. Beginning in 1998 with our first eleven methamphetamine labs, we have seen these numbers rise at a rapid rate until the implementation of new legislation in May of 2005 that controlled the sale of pseudoephedrine. In the early stages of the new law, we observed a drastic decline in lab incidents,but recently the number of labs increased as subjects have found new ways to get the pseudoephedrine needed in the cooking process. Methamphetamine labs will continue to place a severe strain on already reduced manpower and monetary resources. The Task Force is also faced with expanding methamphetamine and entrenched crack cocaine distribution organizations. If all Federal funding resources were cut from our Task Force, the effects would be devastating to each city and town within Black Hawk and Bremer Counties. Local budgets would not sustain current manpower allocated to the Task Force. Manpower that was assigned to the Task Force would return to local agencies and be assigned to primary response police duties leaving no personnel to work solely on narcotic enforcement. Immediate Effects of Zero Funding • Loss of three Full time Narcotic Investigators(Meth Lab Certified) and one Lieutenant assigned to the Task Force. Would also lose one Full time Sergeant and two full time Investigators who are funded by the City of Waterloo and assigned to the Task Force. • Loss of one Full time Investigator funded through Hot spot funding. • Loss of one full time Prosecutor assigned to narcotics cases. • No Manpower solely dedicated to work long term Investigations on Narcotic organizations • No full time local methamphetamine lab response team. Responsibility will fall back to state DNE for meth lab cleanup Since the Task Force inception in 1991,we have continued to adhere to our strategy of maximum enforcement, zero tolerance, aggressive prosecution and profit denial for individuals and criminal enterprises associated with drug trafficking. Each year brings additional duties and responsibilities to the unit. Even with funding at its current rate we do not have the manpower or monetary resources to keep pace with the current narcotic plague. If the current funding is cut,we will have no idea what the true consequences will be until years later. As we all know, the war on drugs is not one we can lose. 32 3 PART D - CERTIFIED ASSURANCES Justice Assistance Grant Program FFY 2006 NON-SUPPLANTING The applicant assures that federal funds made available under this formula grant will not be used to supplant state or local funds, but will be used to increase the amounts of such funds that would, in the absence of federal funds,be made available for JAG project activities.
