To serve as a conduit and communicative coordinating body serving Federal, state and local enforcement and regulatory agencies. Beginning in 1991, the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force was formed and entered into partnership with the Governor's Office of Drug Control Policy. We now enter into our eighteenth year of partnership with the Byrne-Jag program and remain committed to our original mission statement. Through dedication and hard work this long-term partnership has proven time and time again to be successful in the interdiction, enforcement,prosecution and seizure of accumulated assets from the individuals and criminal drug organizations. Although the social drugs of choice, along with the manner and method of production and distribution have under gone radical changes over the years, the task force personnel have been able to adapt to the changes. Our area of responsibility has changed little over the years with the geographical boundaries covering approximately 1,000 square miles within Black Hawk and Bremer counties. The population base of approximately 185,000 goes from agricultural rural to densely populated urban. This base has expanded over the years to include significant migrations of immigrants bringing with them their own language, customs and values. This diverse population of ethnic, cultural, religious and social economic backgrounds provided unique challenges to local governmental services in the areas of education, law enforcement,judicial and social services. While drug problems continue to spiral out of control, Federal participation and monetary assistance that support local enforcement efforts continue to decline and we do not see any sign of this funding decline slowing. 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. This at a time when drugs of abuse such as methamphetamine (ICE), Cocaine, Crack cocaine and the latest designer drugs increase their hold and influence on all segments of society. The problems and concerns that we continue to address under our charter remains constant with getting additional resources from an already limited pool and directing them towards education of young and old alike to try and stop the illegal drugs sphere of influence before it starts. We continue to infiltrate and then destroy organized criminal drug distribution networks and maintain pressure on individuals and organizations that are involved in local clandestine methamphetamine labs. 28 Although home based methamphetamine labs have seen a dramatic reduction in numbers due to new state legislation regulating pseudoephedrine, our area of enforcement continues to be one of the leaders of meth lab sites in the state. This means that we must maintain a core of certified lab personnel to deal with these toxic sites at a time when our manpower and monetary resources are already stretched to there limits trying to stop the flow of imported drugs, that include methamphetamine, (ICE), ecstasy, cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana. As these criminal enterprises and networks continue to expand their territory,we find their limits to be endless as the people involved range from the person bringing in the product to a professional such as a doctor being the person selling it. This also increases violent conflicts between rival gangs and distributors resulting in shootings, robberies, assaults and murders, which also puts a large strain on already, limited local budgets. We continue to cooperate in long term OCDETF investigations that target major distribution networks and have successfully destroyed several ongoing criminal drug enterprises resulting in numerous arrests, successful prosecutions, denial of assets and incarceration of individuals. The voids left by these OCDETF prosecutions continue to be filled by competing criminal organizations, which results in acts of intimidation, street violence,home invasions and homicides. As this cycle continues more monetary and manpower assistance is needed. D. OVERALL MISSION AND EXPECTED RESULTS The overall mission of the Tri-County Drug Task Force has never wavered. To serve as a conduit and coordinating body, serving Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. To reduce the sale and distribution of illicit drugs by the destruction of criminal enterprises and individuals associated with the trafficking of controlled substances, prosecution and incarceration and denial of any and all accrued assets. E. KEY PARTICIPANTS The Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force remains a hands on coordinated enforcement body, led by the participatory governing board of administrators from the ten member agencies. Agencies providing full time personnel include: the host agency, Waterloo Police Department, provides a Project Coordinator(Lieutenant), a Field Coordinator(Sergeant) and four investigators. The Black Hawk County Sheriff and County Attorney's Offices, Cedar Falls Police Department and Iowa National Guard each supply one full time person to the unit. Committed to part time support on a case by case basis are the Bremer County Sheriff's Office and the police agencies of Waverly, Hudson, LaPorte City, Evansdale and the University of Northern Iowa Public Safety. The Federal Bureau of Investigation formally a full time participant has assumed a part time role due to Homeland Security demands. The Task Force agents also work closely with the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa and the state of Iowa DCI, DNE and the DEA. The Task Force agents continue to maintain a professional relationship with a cross section of Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. 29 PART C CONTINUED—PROJECT EVALUATION During our partnership and association with the Justice Assistance Program we have always strived to fulfill our commitment to the original charter/mission statement which began in 1991. A look back at the recorded statistics of arrests, prosecutions, seizures and asset denial during our joint tenure reaffirms our commitment to narcotic enforcement. As this association enters into its eighteenth year, our commitment to the basic charter/mission of apprehension, prosecution, incarceration and denial of accrued assets from individuals, cooperatives and criminal enterprises associated with the illicit drug trade has never wavered. The task force assigned area of responsibility, within the State of Iowa, is comprised of lightly populated rural agricultural areas interspersed with densely populated urban areas. Contained within a geographical area of 1000 square miles is a population base of 185,000 combining a diverse mixture of ethnic, cultural, and social-economic backgrounds. This mix of people encompasses rural agricultural with its sparse population and traditional generational values, to the more heavily populated urban areas and its mixture higher education institutions,blue- collar manufacturing and high tech industries. This diversity of cultures and languages creates unique challenges for law enforcement, the judiciary, medical and social services agencies. There is also a concentration of higher education facilities within our area that add an additional 12,000 to 14,000 full and part time students and young adults from all over the world. The City of Waterloo, the lead agency and grant applicant,provides full time participation in the project with a Lieutenant as project coordinator to insure grant compliance, agency coordination and day-to-day operations. A Sergeant, assigned as field coordinator, responsible for operational investigations and four full time investigators. Additional full time participation includes the Black Hawk County Sheriffs Office (one investigator), the Black Hawk County Attorney's Office(one prosecutor), Cedar Falls Police Department(one investigator) and the Iowa National Guard (one analyst). The Federal Bureau of Investigation, formally a full time participant, has reduced its day-to-day commitment due to Homeland Security responsibilities but is still a valued working partner and advisor. Board members providing part time assistance on a case-by-case basis include agents from the Bremer County Sheriffs Office, Waverly, Hudson, Evansdale and LaPorte City Police Departments as well as the University of Northern Iowa Public Safety. The Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as the United States Attorney for the Northern District maintains a significant advisory presence and are regular attendees to the Task Force Board meetings. The task force agents also work with and routinely combine investigations with the State Division of Narcotics and have recently had one DEA agent assigned to our area to assist with the far reaching and time intensive OCDETF cases worked from our office. The task force agents and the assigned Black Hawk County prosecutor review locally initiated and Federal OCDETF cases with the United States Attorney's office to determine any investigations that meet the criteria for Federal prosecution. Agents also maintain professional contacts with a variety of Federal State and local law enforcement entities with the exchange of intelligence, information and case investigations. 30 Through the use of combined resources and technology we have advanced our success rate in crippling or destroying criminal drug distribution enterprises and networks. The destruction of these criminal organizations has successfully disrupted the importation of significant amounts of methamphetamine, cocaine, crack and marijuana into our area. The shared intelligence, investigations and partnerships continue to reap benefits in our efforts against the organized drug distribution networks. Targeting one drug distribution network with its accompanying manpower intensive investigations, arrests and prosecutions unfortunately triggers other criminal enterprises to try and fill the void made by these prosecutions. With the demise of one drug distribution network leaving an open market, the competing networks and criminal gang organizations migrate to the area. This brings additional waves of intimidation, ever escalating cycles of violence including drive by shootings, serious physical and sexual assaults, home invasions and homicides all with the same goal: domination of the local drug distribution and sales. Victims and potential witnesses often fear additional violence or reprisal and stonewall investigators attempts to solve the crimes or identify the perpetrators. The acts of violence and intimidation continue to escalate as various factions and individuals try to out do each other resulting in numerous instances of drive by shootings, open air gun battles and coordinated ambushes with innocent victims caught in the crossfire. Duly reported and re- reported in the local media,these incidents add to the fear and hostility within the affected neighborhoods. The task force agents must continually combat the effects of the drug trade on the street and operational level while administrators and governmental officials are engaged in their own critical struggles to balance declining budget and manpower resources all at a time of escalating drug abuse and social demands and declining Federal assistance. In the reporting period covered under authority of this grant request,two hundred seventy six (276)defendants were arrested and charged. Eleven(11) defendants were referred to the United States Attorney for review and prosecution. Seventy-five (75) search warrants were executed with an additional fifty-three(53) consent searches. Fifty-five(55)were charged with tax stamp violations and referred to the Iowa Department of Revenue. Three hundred thirty(330) cases were opened with the category breakdown as follows: Delivery-91, manufacture-52,possession/possession with intent-155, other-32. Drug controlled substance seizures totaled as follows: Marijuana-147 pounds, cocaine-2,113 grams, crack-754 grams, methamphetamine-477grams, meth-ICE-9,165 grams, LSD-30 grams,pseudoephedrine-403 grams, marijuana plants-11,pharmaceuticals-286 tabs, MSM- 13,594 grams, KHAT-60 pounds, minor amounts of steroids and mushrooms. Total amounts of seized drugs estimated at$2,120,986.00. Seized items from the executed search warrants and consents included the following: Weapons-57, vehicles-21, cash-$362,320.00. Seized items valued at$420,600.00 combined with the cash seizure totaled $782,920.00 in total seizure value for the reporting period. 31 Although home based methamphetamine labs have seen a dramatic reduction in numbers due to new state legislation regulating pseudoephedrine, our area of enforcement continues to be one of the leaders of meth lab sites in the state. This means that we must maintain a core of certified lab personnel to deal with toxic and very dangerous lab sites at a time when our manpower and monetary resources are already stretched to the limits trying to stop the flow of imported illegal drugs. During the reporting period the task force responded to 44 labs/dump sites. We continue to put on educational and instructional presentations about the manufacture of methamphetamine to the public, area businesses and retailers that continue to produce positive results in increased awareness and safety. This reporting period continues the trend of increased out-of-state organized methamphetamine-ICE, cocaine-crack, and marijuana gang affiliated and distribution networks. While the gangs generally conform to specific ethnic, cultural and language origins with historical family alliances and affiliations, they present a closed front when attempts are made to infiltrate their organizations. In our continued attempts to disrupt these migrating out of state organizations, we continue to work on a co-located front to use all of the expertise and cooperation provided by Federal and state enforcement agencies. These cooperative efforts include the FBI, DEA, ICE, ATF,US Postal Service, Homeland Security, United States Attorney,National Intelligence Centers, and a variety of state narcotics and criminal investigative units. The regional Homeland Security Fusion Center is located out of the same offices as the task force and provides additional support and expertise on national security and intelligence issues. Should Federal funding and resources be cut, the effects would be immediate and devastating to each of the affiliated agencies. The current allocated manpower that is assigned to the Task Force would return to the local agencies and assigned to traditional primary police response duties leaving no personnel to work solely on narcotic enforcement. It would mean the loss of six full time Narcotic Investigators, one Sergeant, the Project Coordinator(Lieutenant), as well as the Full time Prosecutor funded through the grant. There would be no dedicated manpower for long term and complex organized criminal investigations and no local Methamphetamine Lab response teams. This would mean the responsibility would have to be placed upon already overwhelmed State and Federal agencies for lab clean up and response. Since the Task Force concept began in 1991, we have continued to adhere to our strategy of maximum enforcement,zero tolerance, aggressive prosecution and profit denial of individuals and organizations associated with drug trafficking. The partnership forged between the local task force and the federal government has continued to reap benefits and show positive results over the intervening years. Should the current downward spiral of Federal participation continue at its present rate the true effects on future generations and society will not only be measured in monetary costs, but in the lost and shattered lives of the nations youth. 32 PART D - CERTIFIED ASSURANCES Justice Assistance Grant Program FFY 2008 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.
