What we have done so farTotals for 2003 to Present

How we got started.

In December of 1997, the Police Dept. hired an undercover officer. He worked for a total of 11 months. The city gave the department $200.00 to start off the project.
 
With this funding drugs were bought, and when this ran out, an additional $200.00 was received from the city. From that point on the task force has been self supporting, opperating from money that has been forfeited from arrest that have been made and enforcement fees from convictions handed down.
