This annual report requirement was established in 1990. The Drug and Gang Enforcement Account, established in 1987 by A.R.S. §41-2402, is used to enhance efforts to deter, investigate, prosecute, adjudicate and punish drug offenders. Funds in the Drug and Gang Enforcement Account are from the following sources: 1) Federal monies made available to states by grants under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program; 2) Mandatory fines collected for felony drug offense convictions as authorized by A.R.S., Title 13, Chapter 34; 3) Appropriations to the account by the Legislature; and 4) Local cash match funds furnished by grantees. In 1987, the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) developed and implemented a statewide enhanced drug enforcement strategy, as required to qualify for federal formula grant assistance monies for drug control. The strategy was designed to be compatible with the statutory requirements that created the Drug and Gang Enforcement Account. The current four-year strategy was developed in 2012 and is the framework within which the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission allots and distributes all monies in the account. A formal application system and extensive open meeting process are utilized by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission for awarding grant funds from the account. The Criminal Justice Enhancement Fund (CJEF) was established by A.R.S. §41-2401. This statute details those entities that shall receive monies from the CJEF by percentage amounts and the purposes for utilization of the monies. This report provides summary information on projects receiving funds from the Drug and Gang Enforcement Account and on projects funded by the Criminal Justice Enhancement Fund during FY 2014 (July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014), relating to drug activity or drug-related street gang activity. Many other valuable and productive drug and gang enforcement and prevention activities are conducted throughout the state funded entirely by federal, state, local and county authorities, without enhancement monies and are therefore not reported to ACJC. 1 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funding In FY 2014, the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission awarded a combined total of $10,561,877 in funds from the Drug Enforcement Account to 34 projects in the state. Of this amount, $4,319,956 was awarded in federal funds from the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program, $4,194,823 from state drug offense fines and $2,047,098 from local match funds. The Byrne Justice Assistance Grant award was allocated to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission under a formula grant. ACJC must apply for this grant on an annual basis. State drug fines consisted of non-appropriated funds collected from mandatory fines for felony drug offense convictions. In addition, each year the Commission sets the match requirement for approved drug control projects. Figure 1 shows program funding levels from FY 2010 to FY 2014. The Commission opted to set the match requirement at zero in fiscal years 2010 through 2012 to ease the financial burden on state and local agencies experiencing their own budget challenges. Due to declining federal funds, the Commission established a match requirement of 20 percent for FY 2013 and FY 2014. In addition, Arizona was awarded $25,306,957 under the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and these funds were fully expended by the end of FY 2012.

The seven areas were apprehension; prosecution; forensic support services; adjudication and sentencing; corrections and community corrections; substance abuse treatment for corrections-involved individuals; and prevention and education. In addition, the Commission set aside five percent of the Byrne JAG award for criminal records improvement efforts under the Systems Improvement Program. In FY 2014, drug apprehension projects consisting of 13 multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency drug task forces, established in 13 counties in the state of Arizona, received funding from the account. In addition to these projects, full-time dedicated drug prosecution projects were funded in 15 counties and enhanced 2 drug forfeiture case efforts through the Attorney General’s Office. During FY 2014, the strategy to improve criminal history records included efforts to continue a statewide analysis and design for a warrant repository, expanded deployment of automated disposition reporting and develop and implement a statewide infrastructure to facilitate the automation of court-initiated record entries automatically to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). Also, enhanced drug forensic analysis programs at the Department of Public Safety and the Tucson Police Department received funding. One grant awarded to the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) passed account funds through to court-based drug enhancement projects in Arizona counties. The account also provided funding for a special prosecution project through the Attorney General’s Office to combat Medicaid fraud related to prescription drugs. Table 2 below shows approved awards by project type, expenditure type and funding source. In FY 2014, direct personnel costs made up 97.9 percent of the total expenditures from the account, with 2.1 percent allocated to contracting services. Although not reflected in the table, the Medicaid Fraud project through the Attorney General’s Office served as matching funds for a federal grant earning three federal dollars for every state dollar expended. Table 3 displays funding awards to all FY 2014 projects broken out by county and by type of project. The majority of project dollars were allocated to Maricopa County (21.2 percent), followed by Pima County (16.7 percent) and state agencies serving all 15 counties (15.9 percent). Of the remaining counties, nine received funding in excess of $300,000.

Assets seized included 596 vehicles totaling an estimated value of $2.6 million. The number of vehicles seized in FY 2014 was 5.8 percent less than the number seized in FY 2013 (633). Officers removed 390 weapons from the streets with a total estimated value exceeding $211,000. The number of weapons removed in FY 2014 decreased 29 percent from FY 2013. Of the weapons seized in FY 2014, the weapon type most often removed were handguns (53.8 percent), followed by rifles (26.7 percent) and shotguns (16.9 percent). The handgun removals were the lowest total in the last five years. Task force personnel also seized currency and other property with an estimated value exceeding $6.6 million. Vehicles Weapons All Other Total Value Asset Seizure and Values FY 2013 FY 2014 Seized Value Seized Value 633 $3,318,988 596 $2,598,099 549 $172,409 390 $211,065 $7,889,909 $6,639,509 $11,381,306 $9,448,673 7 Weapons Seized in FY 2014 Weapon Type Machine Guns 4 Explosive Devices 0 Other 2 Knives 4 66 Shotguns 104 Rifles 210 Handguns Drug Trafficking Organizations Apprehension project activities include drug interdictions and assists, pursuing investigative leads and tips, serving search warrants and disrupting or dismantling Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs), as well as numerous other efforts to combat drug, gang, or violent criminal activities. DTOs consist of five or more people, organized in some fashion, who gain substantial income from a continuing series of drug-related activities. A DTO is dismantled when the criminal organization is put out of existence or broken up to the extent that reconstruction of the same criminal organization is impossible. A DTO is disrupted when there is significant interference in the conduct of normal and effective operation by the targeted organization, as indicated by changes in organizational leadership, trafficking patterns, or drug production methods. Data collected by task forces includes drug trafficking organizations that are classified as low-level (street dealer), mid-level (distributor or retailer), or high-level (manufacturer or supplier). In FY 2014, task forces dismantled 180 DTOs, the majority of which (49.4 percent) were low-level organizations followed by midlevel organizations (45 percent). The number dismantled represents a significant increase of 309 percent over the previous fiscal year when 44 DTOs were dismantled. In addition, the FY 2014 number is the highest number of DTOs dismantled in the last five years. Task forces also disrupted the activities of 184 DTOs in FY 2014, most (51.6 percent) were mid-level organizations followed by low-level organizations (44.6 percent). The total number of DTOs disrupted decreased 20 percent from FY 2013, and is the lowest total over the previous five years.

During FY 2014, task forces removed marijuana, as well as numerous other drug types including cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, LSD, PCP, other hallucinogens, stimulants and depressants. The estimated street value of these drugs is $183,581,125. Marijuana removals continue to represent a large portion of task force activities statewide, with 128,442 pounds removed and 12,294 plants with a combined estimated street value over $86.3 million. Cocaine and crack removals totaled 1,270 pounds and an estimated combined street value of $17.2 million. Methamphetamine removals totaled 1,803 pounds and an estimated street value of $71.3 million. Heroin removals totaled 307 pounds with an estimated street value of $7.7 million. Marijuana Overall, marijuana is the top drug involved in task force arrests (2,076 arrests). The amount of marijuana removed in FY 2014 (128,442 pounds) increased 6.4 percent above the quantity removed in FY 2013 (120,740 pounds). However, the number of marijuana plants removed decreased from 32,372 in FY 2013 to 12,294 in FY 2014, a decrease of 62 percent. After four consecutive years of declines in marijuana removals, FY 2014 saw the first increase since FY 2009. The top five task forces for marijuana removals (excluding plants) and 2014 were from Santa Cruz County, Pinal County, Pima County, Cochise County and Yuma County. The top five task forces for marijuana plant removals were Gila County, Cochise County, Pima County, Yavapai County and Mohave County.

Of the drug cases prosecuted in FY 2014, 75.4 percent resulted in convictions, 24.4 percent were dismissed with or without prejudice, and 0.1 percent resulted in acquittal. Prosecution Activity In FY 2014, the drug offense type most often prosecuted was for possession or concealment of drugs (79 percent), followed by distribution or sales at 10 percent. Of all the crimes (both drug and non-drug) prosecuted by prosecution projects, 86 percent were felony prosecutions and 14 percent misdemeanor prosecutions. The drug most often involved in drug prosecutions was marijuana or cannabis with 37 percent. This was followed by methamphetamine-related prosecutions with 27 percent. Heroin and cocaine followed with 7 percent and 5 percent, respectively, and paraphernalia offenses made up 13 percent of all prosecutions.

There were 16,190 individuals sentenced for drug-related offenses from prosecution projects in FY 2014. This total was a 9.2 percent decrease from FY 2013. It was also the fourth consecutive year that the number sentenced has declined, dropping 39.4 percent from FY 2008. More than 51.7 percent of these defendants (8,375) received a sentence of probation. Probation sentences dropped steadily each year, falling 37 percent since FY 2008. In addition, the number sentenced to probation in FY 2014 is the lowest in the last 10 fiscal years. Prison sentences were given in 24.3 percent of the cases with only 3.3 percent receiving jail sentences. Prison sentences increased for the first time since FY 2010. Fines were given in 11.1 percent of drug-related cases and 9.4 percent received split sentences, requiring some jail time and probation. Compared to FY 2013, the number of defendants receiving prison sentences increased by 8.6 percent, the number receiving jail sentences increased by 3.9 percent, split sentences declined by 0.2 percent and probation declined by 19.3 percent. The number of defendants receiving a fine increased by 2.6 percent above FY 2013.

From April 1, 1988 through June 30, 2014, a total of $326,834,687 has been expended on criminal justice-related projects. Of this amount, $117,022,194 has been expended on apprehension projects; $113,389,634 for prosecution projects; $60,380,497 for adjudication projects; $20,722,440 on drug forensic analysis and drug offender detention projects; $4,292,909 on other criminal justice projects; and $11,027,013 for criminal history records improvement projects, which had its first expenditure in FY 1995. During the program’s 26 years, apprehension project activities resulted in the arrest of 109,742 drug offense violators. Project activities were responsible for the removal of 4,359,538 pounds of marijuana; 84,452 pounds of cocaine; 11,780 pounds of amphetamine/methamphetamine; and 2,626 pounds of heroin. Drug traffickers' non-drug assets, with a gross estimated value of $294,295,793, were seized. Note: Actual forfeiture of seized trafficker assets is a legal process and the gross estimated value of such seizures is very seldom received by law enforcement and prosecuting agencies. After forfeiture is achieved, lien holders (financial institutions and other legitimate claimants) are paid from the actual forfeiture proceeds. Storage, property maintenance and management costs, processing and disposition fees are paid from forfeiture proceeds. The gross estimated value of seizures is used only as an indicator of the negative impact seizures have on drug traffickers' resources. The results achieved in the 26 years of the enhanced drug enforcement program show that for every $1,066 expended by the apprehension project, one drug violator arrest was made. Also, each drug arrest resulted in an estimated value of $2,682 in non-drug assets seized. Criminal Records Improvement Of the six priority areas authorized by the Commission for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant, one directs funding toward the improvement of criminal history record information. The establishment of the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program initially required that each state allocate at least five percent of its total grant funds for the improvement of criminal justice records. Although no longer a mandatory set-aside, the Commission continues to approve five percent of the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant funding for the Gerald Hardt Memorial Criminal Justice Records Improvement Program (CJRIP). Projects under CJRIP support records improvement and information sharing, in accordance with the Arizona Records Improvement and Information Sharing Strategic Plan. The strategic plan document, updated in 2011, will guide tactical decision making through 2016. The goals outlined in the strategy documents focus on the improvement of the timeliness, completeness, accuracy and accessibility of criminal justice information and processing, with an emphasis on criminal history information. High priority is given to encourage automation and establishment of business process improvements for criminal processing, disposition records and reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Funding for projects provides opportunities for state, county and local agencies to improve information exchange as a case moves through the judicial process. Allocations for equipment purchases, contractual/consultant services, travel and supplies assist in the implementation of systems and future reductions in disposition backlogs is critical to carrying out the AZ Records Improvement and Information Sharing Strategy. Program goals encourage procedures and systems that ensure arrest and disposition information is submitted to and accessible through the Arizona Central State Repository (ACCH) at the Department of Public Safety. Governed by ARS§ 41-1750, criminal justice agencies are required to submit arrest and case disposition information to the ACCH for specific offenses. Information in the repository is critical and the lack of completeness of criminal history records impacts all aspects of the criminal justice process and presents a public safety issue. It is essential for a law enforcement officer who initiates contact with a suspect to have timely access to accurate information. Criminal justice agencies rely on accurate and complete criminal history information for making determinations with regard to bail, sentencing, release 17 and eligibility to possess firearms. More and more, public and private sector employers that conduct background checks rely on criminal history records when making employment decisions. As the reliance upon criminal history records expands and the utility of criminal information increases, the importance of access to complete, timely and accurate information becomes even more important. Prevalence of Drug Activity The Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) identifies nine of Arizona’s 15 counties as high intensity drug trafficking areas. The HIDTA region encompasses all western and southern counties in Arizona, Maricopa and Pinal Counties in the central portion of the state and Navajo County in the northeast part of the state. Several factors unique to the region make it vulnerable to drug trafficking activities. As a result, large amounts of illicit drugs are smuggled from Mexico and bulk cash is transported from these areas into Mexico. In addition, systemic violence and crime associated with drug trafficking affect the state and border communities are vulnerable to spillover violence due to drug traffickers in Mexico. Contributing factors cited include vast stretches of remote, sparsely populated border areas that are conducive to large-scale smuggling; continuing metropolitan economic and population growth; shared border with Mexico and few physical barriers; highway connections between major metropolises and Mexican drug source areas. Mexican marijuana is the most commonly smuggled illicit drug in Arizona’s HIDTA region. In addition, methamphetamine production, distribution and abuse pose problems and cocaine and heroin also pose a problem in Arizona. Marijuana continues to be the greatest threat to Arizona’s HIDTA region and is the most readily available drug. The trafficking and abuse of methamphetamine are significant threats in the Arizona HIDTA region, second to marijuana. This is primarily due to the drug’s widespread availability and highly addictive nature. Heroin is the third greatest threat and there has been an increase reported in availability over the past year. Although the fourth greatest threat, cocaine seizures have declined over the last several years. Finally, pharmaceutical diversion is an increasing threat as controlled prescription drugs are increasing in availability throughout the region. Drug trafficking organizations (DTOs), criminal groups and gangs actively engaged in the drug trade contribute to challenges for law enforcement and threaten security. Mexican DTOs are described as sophisticated and widespread, as well as deeply entrenched in our border communities. Treatment and drug education professionals believe that prescription drugs and heroin are also emerging threats in the state. The Arizona HIDTA region is reported as the principal entry point for marijuana entering the United States from Mexico. However, domestic production of marijuana, particularly domestic indoor marijuana, increased between 2011 and 2013. Federal reporting systems note that methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin are also smuggled in large quantities and seizures of these drug types, with the exception of cocaine, have increased in 2013. In addition to the manufacture, distribution, sale and trafficking of illicit drugs, the associated criminal and violent activity remains high. Identity theft, weapons smuggling, criminal gangs, money laundering, kidnapping, vehicle theft and other offenses are commonly reported in connection to the illegal drug trade. Research and analysis of crime data indicate that Arizona is greatly impacted by its shared border with Mexico as an entry point for large amounts of illicit drugs into the United States. Substance Use Among Arizona Youth Data from the 2012 Arizona Youth Survey (Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, 2012) reveal that among 8th, 10th and 12th grade students, the four substances that have the highest percentages of use in a student’s lifetime are alcohol (51.7 percent), cigarettes (28.8 percent), marijuana (28.7 percent) and prescription drugs (16.6 percent). For illicit substances, marijuana has the highest level (28.7 percent) of reported lifetime use across all grades surveyed with 44.8 percent of Arizona 12th graders surveyed reported having used marijuana at least once in his or her lifetime. Additionally, 13.8 percent of students report using prescription pain relievers, 9.8 percent used inhalants, 9.3 percent used over-the-counter drugs, 6.1 percent used ecstasy, 4.4 percent used hallucinogens, 3.7 percent used cocaine, 1.2 percent used heroin and 1.2 percent used methamphetamines in their lifetime. The consistently high rate of marijuana use among Arizona’s youth (from 2008 – 2012 data) runs parallel to the high rate of marijuana 18 arrests and seizures of marijuana. Though substance use decreased for more than half of the drug types since 2008, increases were seen in the lifetime use of marijuana, hallucinogens and ecstasy. The same can be seen for past 30-day use rates. The largest increase can be seen in the lifetime use rates of ecstasy, which rose from 4.2 percent in 2008 to 6.1 percent in 2012.

Apprehension programs conduct an array of activities to combat criminal drug activity and related gang and violent crime. Apprehension program activities in FY 2014 resulted in 5,282 drug-related arrests and 348 arrests for nondrug offenses. Arrests for marijuana accounted for the largest percentage of drug arrests, totaling 2,076 (39.3 percent). The largest portion of drug offense types was the offense of possession/concealing 3,368 (63.8 percent), followed by distribution/sale 804 (15.2 percent) and transportation/importation 793 (15 percent). There were 32 gang-related arrests, and of the 5,630 total arrests, 4,885 (86.8 percent) were felonies and 745 (13.2 percent) were misdemeanors. Statewide, apprehension efforts yielded 128,441.8 pounds of marijuana, 12,293.5 marijuana plants, 817,823.2 grams of methamphetamine/amphetamines, 564.5 kilograms of cocaine, and other dangerous narcotics and illicit prescription drugs. There were 1,189 investigations directly related to methamphetamine and 62 clandestine labs seized. The estimated street value of all drug removals was $183,581,125. Task forces seized drug offender assets estimated at $9,448,673. These assets included 596 vehicles, 390 weapons (mostly handguns), and $6,348,677 in currency. Task force personnel also seized 62 marijuana grows. Statewide apprehension efforts disrupted or dismantled 364 drug trafficking organizations (DTOs), including the disruption of 184 and dismantling of 180, the majority of which were low to mid-level street dealers. Collaboration and coordination are also components of task force projects. In FY 2014, task forces participated in 785 collaborative and non-collaborative investigations that resulted in 359 arrests, and 354 investigations that resulted in drug seizures. In 133 cases, tips or leads were shared among task forces and there were 286 instances of drug interdiction activity assists. Task forces contacted Child Protective Services 23 times to make drug-endangered child referrals.

Selected Quarterly Highlights  Metro Agents received information about a subject possibly trafficking moderate amounts of methamphetamine into Flagstaff from the Phoenix area. The information provided led officers to believe that this individual was supplying a large group of methamphetamine users who frequent low end motels in Flagstaff. A tracking warrant was obtained and a tracking device was placed on the subject's vehicle. The subject was arrested several days later when the subject was Arizona Criminal Justice Commission EDGE Report 2014 33 Apprehension - Task Force Activities returning from Phoenix with a load of methamphetamine. The information gleaned from this arrest developed into a larger case implicating another large dealer supplying users in the Flagstaff area and the Navajo Reservation area. Agents were able to target these individuals with undercover purchases and subsequently dismantled the organization. This was a joint investigation conducted with the cooperation of Metro, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).  Metro Agents have seen an influx in users of the marijuana derivative known as "wax". This drug is a concentrated form of marijuana similar to hash and popular among local university students. It is known to be dangerous to produce in homemade labs due to the possibility of explosions with the chemicals needed to produce it. Agents were called out to assist patrol officers who were involved in the pursuit and eventual arrest of a suspect attempting to evade them by running into a residence. Inside the residence, suspicious items and marijuana paraphernalia were observed. Agents responded and identified the items utilized to produce "wax" and identified the residence as a lab. Agents recovered a significant amount of "wax" and lab equipment utilized to produce "wax". The residents were charged with manufacturing and several other felonies. Agents utilized this case to provide training and intelligence about the production of "wax" in homemade labs and provided more information about the drug to local agencies and the local community.

The Greenlee County Narcotics Task Force, in cooperation with participating agencies, provide resources and personnel to conduct narcotics investigations and enforcement activity throughout the county. Task Force Participants Greenlee County Sheriff's Office, Clifton Police Department, Greenlee County Probation Department and the Greenlee County Attorney’s Office. Objective To provide all citizens of Greenlee County with a comprehensive, coordinated narcotics unit comprised of local, state and federal resources, along with personnel to investigate, apprehend and convict street- and mid-level drug violators. Activity Summary During FY 2014, the task force made 40 drug-related arrests. A total of 29 (72.5 percent) drug-related arrests were for the offense of possessing/concealing drugs and 10 (25 percent) drug-related arrest were for the distribution/selling of drugs. There were 19 (47.5 percent) arrests for marijuana and 13 (32.5 percent) arrests for methamphetamine/amphetamine.

The task force seized two marijuana grows, served three search warrants and disrupted or dismantled nine Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs). Selected Quarterly Highlights  Greenlee County task force members conducted an extensive drug operation, which resulted in five suspected low level drug dealers being charged with multiple counts of sale and possession of illegal drugs (primarily for the illegal sale of prescription drugs). This has been one of the largest drug cases the task force has conducted in recent years. This particular case has seriously disrupted the sale of illegal drugs within the community.  FY 2014 funding has allowed the task force to maintain a high presence at local events, including high school sport functions and community events. This has allowed for the task force to deter drug, gang and violent crimes in our county. Greenlee County has begun to see a small presence of gang-related activity in our area; grant funds will be crucial in helping us to deter this activity in the future.

The task force pursued 20 intelligence-driven investigations, 11 of which resulted in arrest and 17 of which resulted in drug seizures. Selected Quarterly Highlights  SCCHITF detectives operated an ongoing investigation on a local drug dealer suspected of selling drugs from their residence. Surveillance and traffic stops were conducted, which revealed people buying cocaine from the suspect’s residence. During two separate undercover drug purchases, two people were arrested and 3.1 grams of cocaine were seized. An undercover officer drug purchase was also conducted which resulted in the purchase of 2.3 grams of cocaine directly from the suspect. A search warrant was executed; the suspects were arrested and 36.1 grams of cocaine were seized, along with two vehicles worth $5,937. Arizona Criminal Justice Commission EDGE Report 2014 65 Apprehension - Task Force Activities  SCCHITF detectives conducted surveillance on vehicles possibly involved in the transportation of narcotics. Detectives observed a truck carrying firewood and a traffic stop was conducted. A K-9 unit was brought in and alerted to the narcotics; further investigation revealed the logs had been hollowed out and packed with marijuana. Two subjects were arrested and a total of 278.6 pounds of marijuana with a street value of $97,520. This seizure is part of an ongoing investigation on a drug trafficking organization (DTO) of which over 2000 pounds of marijuana have been seized thus far.  In FY 2014, the SCCHITF responded to one of the Mexico Ports of Entry. The subject was driving a pickup truck, with Arizona license plates, containing a load of brick pavers. The vehicle was referred to secondary inspection, which resulted in the detection of an abnormality in the center of one of the pavers. Located inside the brick pavers were 110 packages containing 294 pounds of marijuana with a value of $88,206.  The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) requested that the SCCHITF respond to a United States Border Patrol Checkpoint. Further investigation revealed 391 bundles of marijuana disguised as watermelons (commingled with real watermelons) which were being transported in a tractor trailer. The disguised watermelon bundles were round-shaped, wrapped in cellophane, covered with brown tape and then disguised with green and yellow tape strips to look like watermelons. The fake watermelons had a glossy look and did not have labels affixed to them; if they were boxed by themselves, the difference may not have been as noticeable, but when together the difference in color and the gloss were easy to see. A total of 3,225.9 pounds of marijuana were seized with a value of $1,129,065. Performance Benchmarks All agencies are required to estimate performance benchmarks according to their program area.

Through interagency cooperation, the PANT Task Force focuses on identifying targets and initiating investigations on individuals, professionals and/or gangs involved in the illegal cultivation, manufacturing, sale or distribution of narcotics, prescription or dangerous drugs in Yavapai County. Activity Summary During FY 2014, PANT officers made 344 drug-related arrests. A total of 129 (37.5 percent) drug-related arrests were for the offense of possessing/concealing drugs, 119 (34.6 percent) drug-related arrests were for transporting/importing drugs and 57 (16.6 percent) drug-related arrests were for the distribution/selling of drugs. There were 121 (35.2 percent) arrests for marijuana, 92 (26.7 percent) arrests for methamphetamine/amphetamine and 43 (12.5 percent) arrests for heroin. The task force removed $15,357,011 in drugs from the community, including 2,992.8 pounds of marijuana and 232 plants with a value of over $11.9 million dollars, 31,240.2 grams of methamphetamine/amphetamine with a value of over $2.9 million dollars and 3,721 grams of hashish with a value of $307,380. The task force had asset seizures of $1,142,246 which consisted of 77 weapons, 56 vehicles, and $703,961 in currency and other assets. Task force officers conducted 101 methamphetamine-related investigations, seized four marijuana grows, served 76 search warrants, disrupted and dismantled 154 Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) and conducted five community meetings. The task force pursued 362 intelligencedriven investigations, 142 of which resulted in arrest and 150 of which resulted in drug seizures. Selected Quarterly Highlights  In FY 2014, the K-9 interdiction team assigned to this task force conducted a traffic stop on a semi-trailer. During the stop, a K-9 alerted to the trailer which resulted in a search revealing 2,350 pounds of high-grade marijuana, which was packaged with descriptions and identifications with Arizona Criminal Justice Commission EDGE Report 2014 69 Apprehension - Task Force Activities delivery instructions and had a street value of $9.4 million dollars. Documents uncovered during this investigation were used to contact additional law enforcement personnel at the intended destination locations. This discovery led to the investigation of a much larger drug trafficking organization (DTO) group that was operating for more than a year. This seizure was the largest single marijuana seizure in the history of the task force.  A PANT K-9 officer conducted a traffic stop that led to the discovery of an AR-15 type assault rifle hidden underneath the rear seat of the vehicle. Subsequent investigation and interview with the suspect revealed that they were a major drug courier for the Sinaloa Cartel; they cooperated with detectives and provided additional information, which was used to obtain a search warrant for a residence in the Phoenix area. The result of this search warrant revealed 2.8 pounds of methamphetamine along with other drugs and evidence. The investigation continued in cooperation with a Maricopa County Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) task force team; information was exchanged and led to additional residences of interest. The Maricopa County HIDTA task force served two additional search warrants related to this traffic stop, each of which located a methamphetamine “wash lab” where more than 20 pounds of methamphetamine were recovered. This was a great effort among agencies and law enforcement personnel and directly affect the drug cartels on a local level.  In FY 2014, PANT detectives assisted a Yavapai County Sheriff Deputy on a traffic stop where two subjects attempted to walk away from a vehicle that was stopped on the interstate. The deputy detained them and packages found on the floor board contained seven pounds of methamphetamine and 65 pounds of marijuana. Both subjects were interviewed and admitted to pooling their monies to purchase the drugs for $50,000, and taking the drugs to Texas.  Over a number of months, PANT detectives investigated a family involved in the trafficking and sale of heroin throughout the Prescott and Prescott Valley areas. Detectives were able to serve a search warrant that led to the arrest of two family members for heroin-related sales. The task force continued to receive numerous tips from the public regarding continued drug sales. The Yavapai County deputies happened to conduct a traffic stop on the spouse of the main subject, seizing 12 grams of heroin, which resulted in the spouse being placed on probation. During this time, there was a pending court case on the main subject involved. Later, PANT detectives assisted Adult Probation in conducting a search of a residence where six members of the family lived, including the spouse on probation and main subject with pending charges. All six members of the family were ultimately charged with various drug related crimes. The search uncovered ledgers indicating that the main suspect was selling heroin to other family members who were then indebted to the main suspect. The arrest of this DTO was a large accomplishment within this area. Performance Benchmarks All agencies are required to estimate performance benchmarks according to their program area.

The Yuma County Narcotics Task Force (YCNTF) is a consolidated, multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency task force. It was organized to identify, arrest and prosecute drug traffickers, seize drugs and cash assets, and follow investigative leads on drug smuggling activity. Task Force Participants Yuma County Sheriff's Office, City of Somerton Police Department, Arizona Department of Public Safety, United States Border Patrol, United States Drug Enforcement Administration and Homeland Security Investigations. Objective To reduce and disrupt trafficking, sales and distribution of illegal narcotics within Yuma County by investigating, targeting and arresting individuals engaged in drug trafficking and sales, including gang members and violent criminals. Activity Summary During FY 2014, YCNTF made 885 drug-related arrests. A total of 602 (70.4 percent) drug-related arrests were for the offense of possessing/concealing drugs and 209 (24.4 percent) drug-related arrests were for transporting/importing drugs. There were 626 arrests (73.2 percent) for marijuana and 144 (16.8 percent) arrests for methamphetamine/amphetamine. Task force officers removed $68,914,014 in drugs from the community, including 534,748 grams of methamphetamine/amphetamine with a value of over $53.4 million dollars, 269.7 kilograms of cocaine with a value of over $7.1 million dollars, 11,734.6 pounds of marijuana and 100 plants with a value of over $6.1 million dollars, and 35,631.1 grams of heroin with a value of over $2.1 million dollars. The task force had asset seizures of $1,174,613 which consisted of 131 vehicles, 29 weapons and $830,368 in currency. The task force took part in 32 de-confliction events, conducted 12 intelligence-driven investigations, pursued 93 methamphetamine investigations, served 34 search warrants, disrupted one Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO) and participated in seven community meetings. Selected Quarterly Highlights  A combined multi-agency investigation led to the recovery of 2,281 pounds of marijuana with a street value of approximately $912,400. The location was identified through the use of multiple sources of information and surveillance. The combined efforts of agents resulted in the YCNTF Arizona Criminal Justice Commission EDGE Report 2014 73 Apprehension - Task Force Activities serving a search warrant at the residence that resulted in the seizure of two vehicles, the recovery of a stolen vehicle (stolen less than 48 hours prior) from 278 miles away, along with the arrest of two load driver’s, one scout, a stash house operator, and an operation facilitator. The investigative efforts disrupted this convenient, often used location to store and distribute bulk marijuana. YCNTF pursued state charges on all subjects for the Conspiracy to Import/Transport Marijuana.  The YCNTF agents began an investigation regarding a large amount of traffic at a house in a residential neighborhood. Utilizing surveillance and multiple sources of information, including concerned citizens and informants, agents served a search warrant at the residence. The homeowner was utilizing the residence as a store-front of sorts which impacted the quality of life in the neighborhood, attracting addicts and their criminal activities of burglaries and thefts. The resulting investigation yielded the arrests of three methamphetamine and heroin street level dealers, operating out of the residence. The drugs and residence were seized as a result of the investigation.  An YCNTF agent assigned to the Border Enforcement Security Task Force received information on an upcoming smuggling attempt involving a tractor loaded with marijuana that was scheduled to cross the Mexican/United States Border. Surveillance and information dissemination was utilized to intercept the illegal crossing. A Border Patrol agent came across a farm tractor being driven by a subject, which seemed out of place. The agent pursued an inquiry on the driver’s vehicle and contacted the YCNTF agent for investigation. The investigation resulted in the seizure of 894 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $357,600 that was hidden in the tractor tires. The undocumented driver admitted to illegally entering the United States with the intent to deliver the tractor. The drugs and tractor were seized as a result of the investigation.  During FY 2014, the YCNTF agents assisted Yuma County Probation in a search of a probationer’s residence. The probationer was a habitual career criminal and documented street gang member with a criminal history of Aggravated Assault, Armed Robbery and various drug offenses involving the sale of methamphetamine. The search revealed the suspect to be in possession of a street sale quantity of methamphetamine. YCNTF agents corroborated with the Yuma County Probation Department to ensure a quality prosecution presentation to the Yuma County Attorney’s Office that assisted in the conviction of the suspect.

Objective To make Apache County a safer place by aggressively prosecuting those who use or engage in the supply and demand of illegal drugs, commit violent crimes, and participate in gang-related criminal activity. Activity Summary In FY 2014, ACAO received 261 drug offense referrals and 114 drug convictions, of which 84 (73.7 percent) were classified as felonies and 30 (26.3 percent) as misdemeanors. Marijuana/cannabis and paraphernalia both had 42 (36.8 percent) convictions each and 25 (21.9 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamines. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 42 (36.8 percent) were for paraphernalia, almost tripling last year’s 16 (14 percent). Of the 114 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 90 (79 percent) received probation and 10 (8.8 percent) received a prison sentence. Marijuana/cannabis and paraphernalia both had sentences of 42 (36.8 percent) people and 25 (21.9 percent) of the cases sentenced involved methamphetamine/amphetamines. ACAO reported 47 drug-related task force investigation assists with 37 resulting in charges being filed. A total of 192 legal advice requests were received and filed and 178 meetings were held with law enforcement on various cases. Prosecution efforts resulted in 13 vehicles, one weapon and $467,357 in currency and other assets being forfeited. Selected Quarterly Highlights • The ACAO continued to strengthen the relationships with law enforcement agencies, within Apache County, through the local drug task force. Education, collaboration and increased communications have resulted in better criminal prosecution and more effective civil forfeitures. • This year methamphetamine seizures yielded more than 37 pounds. o In November of 2013, seven pounds were recovered, while the suspects had a child present in the car. One defendant is currently serving a sentence of three years in the Department of Corrections (DOC). o In January of 2014, five pounds of methamphetamine were seized, which resulted in the defendant receiving a prison sentence of two years in the DOC. 82 o In February 2014, a defendant was found in possession of 22.5 pounds of methamphetamine and is serving 3.5 years in DOC. • In May, 2014, 10 pounds of cocaine were seized by the task force, involving 2 co-defendants. • In October, 2013, the task force apprehended three suspects transporting 54 pint-sized bottles of promethazine with codeine. The first defendant is awaiting sentence, the second defendant was sentenced to four years of probation and the third defendant’s case is still pending.

The CCAO handles drug prosecution and civil forfeiture cases resulting from the aggressive activities of the Cochise County Narcotics Enforcement Team and other law enforcement agencies in the county. Cochise County is designated as a Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). The unit prosecutes drug cases for all law enforcement agencies in Cochise County and cases received from the U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and other federal agencies operating along the United States border with Mexico. Objective To enhance the quality of life in the Cochise County border community through aggressive and effective prosecution of drug related crimes, identify and target offenders through collaboration with the task force and other law enforcement agencies, and where appropriate encourage rehabilitation for drug offenders. Activity Summary The CCAO reported a total of 524 drug convictions for the FY 2014 program year. Of drug offense convictions, 283 (54 percent) were of felony status and 241 (46 percent) were of misdemeanor status. Across offense types a total of 393 (75 percent) convictions derived from charges of possession/concealing and 66 (12.6 percent) from charges of distribution/selling. Of drug-related convictions, 316 (60.3 percent) were for paraphernalia and 122 (23.3 percent) were for marijuana/cannabis. Of the 518 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 183 (35.3 percent) received fines, 112 (21.6 percent) people were sentenced to prison another 112 sentenced to jail and 104 (20.1 percent) received a probation sentence. A total of 316 (61 percent) of the cases involved paraphernalia and 124 (23.9 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis. CCAO conducted 719 meetings with law enforcement related to cases. A total of 54 forfeiture cases were received through referrals, 85 were concluded and $142,764 in assets were forfeited. Selected Quarterly Highlights Notable accomplishments resulting from tandem prosecution efforts include the following: • Over a two-month period, four trials were conducted involving the same defendant. Having rejected a very generous offer of roughly 10 years, the defendant chose to go to trial on each of the cases. The defendant was convicted of all charges in each case and sentenced to a total term of over 50 years on the charges which included possession of methamphetamine for sale. These charges also related to possession of a significant quantity of counterfeit money which is routinely declined for prosecution in the Federal system. • This year we finally brought three years of litigation on a serious home invasion, kidnapping steaming from the defendants stealing/ripping off each other to a conclusion. The defendant was 87 convicted of all counts and sentenced to over 100 years in the Department of Corrections. The codefendant previously received a similar sentence. The case revolved around approximately 200 pounds of marijuana. During the course of the crime, juvenile occupants of the home were restrained along with several adults. The defendant was from outside of our county and the investigating agency left no stone unturned in identifying the defendant and ensuring our team had the evidence necessary to convict. • The first portion of 2014 proved to be a busy one for stopping the supply of methamphetamine and heroin into our community. Through partnership with the Sierra Vista Police Department, a major methamphetamine trafficking ring was systematically dismantled. Six separate suppliers, along with the ring leader from Phoenix, were arrested and approximately three pounds of methamphetamine, along with a substantial quantity of heroin, were removed from the streets. Because of the multi-county nature of the operation, the Attorney General’s Office will prosecute the ring leader. However, our office has already achieved lengthy prison terms for five of the six defendants. • Over the past year, we implemented a policy requiring sit down meetings with case officers every 60 days on every case that we charge on a 48-hour complaint. As a result of these meetings, our disclosure process has been streamlined and communication between attorneys and agencies is now better than it has been in the past. In this high technology age, emails, voicemails, and text messages can be useful, but sometimes stepping back to the basics of face-to-face communication is what really makes a difference.

Selected Quarterly Highlights • A Sheriff's deputy caught a driver speeding down the highway in Graham County and smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. While performing a traffic stop the deputy searched the vehicle and found seven large bundles of marijuana with an approximate weight of 259 pounds. The driver of the vehicle was under 18 years of age; the Mexican Drug Cartel hired the juvenile to drive the marijuana to the Phoenix area. The juvenile was charged as an adult and was convicted of Attempted Transportation of Marijuana for Sale. • Eleven individuals who were involved with the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel were indicted by a federal grand jury. Law enforcement officials seized 1,400 pounds of marijuana, multiple guns, vehicles, town homes and a bank account. The operation eventually led to the seizure of $200,000 and 6,500 pounds of marijuana. Multiple agencies, including the Graham County Attorney's Office, were involved in this extensive case. 102 • The Graham County Task Force served a drug related search warrant in Thatcher, AZ. During the search warrant, 22.1 grams of methamphetamine, marijuana, heroin and pills were located. Several weapons and cash were seized in connection with this search warrant. The defendant was charged with Possession of a Dangerous Drug, Possession of a Narcotic Drug, Misconduct Involving Weapons and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The defendant is currently awaiting trial. Performance Benchmarks All agencies are required to estimate performance benchmarks according to their program area.

The Greenlee County Attorney’s Office prosecutes all drug and gang-related activities in Greenlee County as vigorously as possible. Objective: To promote and facilitate equal justice to all, and to support and exercise justice through the criminal and juvenile justice systems. Activity Summary The GCAO received 69 drug offense referrals which resulted in a total of 63 drug convictions, of which 34 (54 percent) were of felony status and 29 (46 percent) were misdemeanors. A total of 44 (69.8 percent) involved paraphernalia, 11 (17.5 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine and 7 (11.1 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 55 (87.3 percent) were for possession/concealing and 8 (12.7 percent) were for distribution/selling. Of 63 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 32 (50.8 percent) received probation, 21 (33.3 percent) received jail and 10 (15.9 percent) were sentenced to prison. A total of 47 (74.6 percent) of the cases sentenced involved paraphernalia and 11 (17.5 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. Greenlee County’s prosecution efforts involved 37 law enforcement case meetings, 10 drug-related task force investigation assists, seven search warrant assists and 41 requests for legal advice, all of which were filled. Selected Quarterly Highlights • Greenlee County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Clifton Police Department officers acted on information by a confidential informant and obtained a search warrant, which resulted in the seizure of a large amount of methamphetamine, marijuana, paraphernalia and weapons. In addition authorities also discovered that the defendant was supplying marijuana to their young children. • While stopping an individual for passing in a no-pass zone, an officer discovered 16 marijuana plants. The individual claimed the plants were for personal use and for a sibling but did not have their medical marijuana card on them. The person was arrested for Transportation, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. This arrest has prompted further discussion and research regarding medical marijuana law and the issues that relate to them. • Contraband narcotic pills were found in the County jail, left in a female sanitary product in the bathroom. Through cooperation with the Sheriff's officers and the County Attorney's office, they determined a list of possible suspects. By reviewing the visitors log and monitoring calls within the 107 jail, a suspect was narrowed down. Through listening to the jail calls it became apparent that an inmate in jail was trying very hard to get their spouse to "do it again." When confronted, the spouse initially insisted they knew nothing about the pills, but eventually admitted they had been sneaking in the contraband for the inmate.

The two trial bureaus and one diversion section maintain 24-hour on-call attorneys to assist law enforcement agencies throughout Maricopa County in narcotics case development, investigation and processing. The diversion section screens and evaluates drug use law violators for an extensive deferred prosecution program. Objective To vigorously prosecute those who commit crimes within Maricopa County; reduce crime related to illegal drug activities, gangs, and attendant violence; provide the highest quality service and maintain the integrity of the criminal justice system throughout the prosecution phase and seek to implement, promote and participate in programs that reduce crime and enhance the quality of community life. Activity Summary In FY 2014, the MCAO received 27,252 drug and non-drug case referrals, reporting a total of 10,940 convictions. A total of 8,038 (73.5 percent) of those convictions were drug-related, of which 6,104 (75.9 percent) were classified as felonies and 1,934 (24.1 percent) were misdemeanors. A total of 3,254 (40.5 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis, 2,229 (27.7 percent) involved paraphernalia and 1,494 (18.6 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 6,148 (76.5 percent) were for charges of possession/conceal and 1,133 (14.1 percent) were for distribution/selling. Of the 6,906 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 4,197 (60.8 percent) received probation and 2,015 (29.2 percent) received a prison sentence. A total of 2,697 (39.1 percent) of the cases sentenced involved marijuana/cannabis, 1,930 (28 percent) involved paraphernalia and 1,361 (19.7 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. A total value of over $8.7 million in assets was forfeited in FY 2014, including 300 vehicles and 429 weapons. Prosecution efforts resulted in 48 drug-related task force investigation assists and six search warrant assists with local task forces. Selected Quarterly Highlights • A Deputy County Attorney (DCA) was able to obtain a 10 year prison sentence for using a minor in a drug offense. Officers observed the defendant and his co-defendant meet with a vehicle occupied by juveniles and sold them 1 pound of marijuana. The minors were to sell the marijuana at their high school and were allowed to keep anything over $500 from the sales. • A defendant with five prior felony convictions was sentenced to three concurrent terms of 11, eight and five years. The sentences were for possession of 20 grams of methamphetamine for 117 sale, possession of 210 milligrams of methamphetamine, and forgery to acquire a narcotic by fraud by presenting a fraudulent prescription to receive oxycodone. • The MCAO prosecuted one of the leaders of the Salazar-Rosas/Armenta-Castro drug trafficking and money laundering operation. The defendant pled guilty to four counts: two of Sale or Transportation of Marijuana (class two felonies) and two counts of second Degree Money Laundering (class three felonies). The defendant was subsequently sentenced to 11 years in the Department of Corrections. • The MCAO prosecuted a defendant who served as the right-hand man for a relative that distributed street level amounts of marijuana after loads had been brought into the U.S. from Mexico. The defendant was sentenced to 7.5 years in the Department of Corrections, with a consecutive probation term of four years relating to another case.

The project handles drug and gang case prosecutions for all law enforcement agencies in Mohave County, one of the counties that makes up Arizona’s portion of the federally designated Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Objective To reduce illicit drug activity in Mohave County through the successful prosecution of all drug offenders, and to aid law enforcement by supporting and guiding officers so that major traffickers, distribution organizations and manufacturers/producers can be brought to justice. Activity Summary Of the 1,543 drug offense referrals received, MCAO efforts resulted in 1,132 drug convictions, of which 620 (54.8 percent) were classified as misdemeanor and 512 (45.2 percent) were classified as felony. A total of 1,132 drug convictions, 850 (75.1 percent) involved paraphernalia, 119 (10.5 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine and 104 (9.2 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 987 (87.2 percent) of the convictions derived from charges of possession/concealing, and 120 (10.6 percent) from distribution/selling charges Of the 952 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 349 (36.7 percent) received probation, 206 (21.6 percent) received prison, 138 (14.5 percent) received fines, 133 (14 percent) received a split sentence and 125 (13.1 percent) received a jail sentence. A total of 677 (71.1 percent) of the cases sentenced involved paraphernalia, 118 (12.4 percent) involved methamphetamine/ amphetamine and 99 (10.4 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis. Tandem prosecution efforts resulted in a total of 25 instances of currency forfeiture valued at $263,723. The project reports a total of 408 drug-related task force investigation assists and 144 search warrant assists that resulted in convictions. Selected Quarterly Highlights • MAGNET participated in a major Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) operation that culminated in 18 people being indicted on weapon charges. Several of those persons were known in the drug community. Some were charged federally and others locally. The lead MAGNET Attorney assisted in this multi-agency operation over several months and was in the command center on the day of the operation to provide legal assistance. 122 • Many issues have come up regarding medical marijuana. Our lead MAGNET attorney taught the legal portion of an AZ POST medical marijuana course attended by MAGNET Detectives, as well as several other detectives from our local agencies. Bringing in most of the detectives and several patrol officers to inform them of what the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act is, what it really says, and how to handle real casework was a big focus, and will assist the local agencies as they encounter more marijuana cases. • This fiscal year a shared Google Drive was created, since one of our Law Enforcement Agencies is already on a Google-based platform. This shared Google Drive is being used to share templates for informant contracts and search warrants as well as the medical marijuana PowerPoint presentations used in the class by our lead attorney. Ultimately, this will ensure the officers always have the most up to date templates. Shared drives are also being utilized for officers to share ongoing search warrant drafts so our attorneys can point out what needs to be modified. This is an important part of our operation, as Mohave County is geographically very large and allows for ease of communication. • In FY 2014, a couple of intense undercover operations were completed. In the first case, an officer went undercover and purchased over $3,000 worth of prescription, narcotic, and dangerous drugs. The defendant was a kindergarten teacher. The second case was an undercover operation purchasing large quantities of methamphetamine from a defendant on felony release for the same charges. Each of these cases involved coordination with the lead attorney who was present at the final buy and arrest. The case was discussed and options weighed with police and the attorney on how to best build the case.

This project provides for full-time, dedicated case prosecution and asset forfeiture litigation services to the Navajo County Major Crimes Apprehension Team (MCAT) and other law enforcement agencies in Navajo County. Objective To reduce and eventually eliminate the use, sale, manufacture and transportation of illicit and controlled substances within Navajo County. Activity Summary Efforts of the NCAO have resulted in a total of 267 drug convictions, of which 166 (62.2 percent) were classified as misdemeanor and 101 (37.8 percent) were felonies. A total of 124 (46.4 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis, 78 (29.2 percent) involved paraphernalia and 41 (15.4 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 202 (75.7 percent) were for possession/concealing and 33 (12.4 percent) were for transportation/importation. Of the 267 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 132 (49.4 percent) received fines, 65 (24.3 percent) received probation, and 50 (18.7 percent) received a prison sentence. A total of 117 (43.8 percent) of the cases sentenced involved marijuana/cannabis, 85 (31.8 percent) involved paraphernalia and 39 (14.6 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. Navajo County’s tandem prosecution efforts yielded a value of $31,520 in forfeited assets and the office conducted 60 case related meetings with law enforcement. Selected Quarterly Highlights • The NCAO closed out cases against two of the three medical marijuana compassion care clubs that were illegally selling marijuana. The organizers of those clubs are now on probation with a specific prohibition on using, handling, or selling marijuana. • After a long investigation, a large marijuana grow east of Snowflake was located and shut down. The owner of the grow operation was using a nine-year-old child to turn the marijuana clippings into hash oil. The process of making hash oil requires using a highly flammable solvent (butane) to absorb the THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), then heat the solvent (usually on a stove top) so the solvent evaporates leaving just the THC. • The K-9 supervisor, stopped a fake roadside assistance vehicle.

Pima is one of the counties federally designated as a Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Objective To reduce/prevent drug-related crime by collaborating with the C.N.A. to conduct narcotics investigations and tandem prosecutions, as well as prosecuting felony narcotics cases presented by individual law enforcement agencies operating in the county. Activity Summary In FY 2014, the PCAO received 5,992 drug-and non-drug case referrals resulting in 1,961 drug convictions, of which 1,937 (98.8 percent) were classified as felonies and 24 (1.2 percent) were misdemeanors. A total of 1,187 (60.5 percent) convictions were for charges of possession/concealing and 629 (32.1 percent) were for distribution/selling. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 674 (34.4 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine, 421 (21.5) involved unknown drugs, 314 (16 percent) involved cocaine/crack and 223 (11.4 percent) involved heroin. Of the 1,936 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 1,064 (55 percent) received probation, 649 (33.5 percent) received prison and 194 (10 percent) received a split sentence. A total of 668 (34.5 percent) of the cases sentenced involved methamphetamine/amphetamine, 414 (21.4 percent) involved unknown drugs, 308 (15.9 percent) involved cocaine/crack, 233 (12 percent) involved heroin and 194 (10 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis. A total value of over $6.7 million in assets was forfeited in FY 2014, including 378 vehicles, 333 weapons and 11 real estate properties. Tandem prosecution efforts resulted in 63 drug-related task force investigation assists; 54 of which resulted in charges filed. There were a total of 1,200 case related meetings with law enforcement. Selected Quarterly Highlights This grant year, the PCAO cooperated with a Homeland Security operation to target street level sales in rural Ajo, Arizona. The small community had been plagued by the increasing sale of illegal drugs. The prosecutions that resulted involved methamphetamine, heroin, and prescription drugs. All 12 defendants pled guilty. 132 • The PCAO indicted a group operating a pain clinic, who were issuing fraudulent prescriptions prescribed to street dealers who were then selling the drugs. Those drugs were sold throughout Arizona and the Southwest region; sales included over one million pills. Due to the complexity of the case, the prosecution is still on-going. The PCAO prosecuted two siblings that were Barrio Hollywood gang members and who were selling significant amounts of methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine. While in custody, one of the siblings tried to have the informant in their case killed. That defendant took a plea, which included a Solicitation to Commit Murder charge and received an 18-year prison sentence. The other defendant received a 14year prison sentence. Both were dangerous to the community and their convictions will serve to keep them off the streets for a significant period of time. • The PCAO took a backpacker case to trial that faced significant pre-trial litigation hurdles. To overcome the hurdles, substantial support was received from both the Pima County Sheriff's Department and Border Patrol. Working through these issues aided the unit as a whole and will be helpful in future backpacking and transportation prosecutions. Ultimately, we were able to secure a conviction and a 4.5 year prison sentence. Performance Benchmarks All agencies are required to estimate performance benchmarks according to their program area.

The unit handles all drug and gang prosecutions for the task force and all other law enforcement agencies in Pinal County. Pinal County is designated as part of the Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Objective To interdict the international drug trade, suppress local drug dealing activity, efficiently manage simple drug possession cases, provide drug court and drug diversion programs, and conduct ongoing training for police. Activity Summary PCAO received a total of 1,230 drug offense referrals, which resulted in a total of 753 drug convictions, of which 602 (80 percent) were classified as felonies and 151 (20 percent) were misdemeanors. A total of 283 (37.6 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis, 216 (28.7 percent) involved paraphernalia and 123 (16.3 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 486 (64.5 percent) were for possession/concealing and 198 (26.3 percent) were for distribution/selling. Of the 779 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 337 (43.3 percent) received prison, 233 (29.9 percent) received probation and 203 (26.1 percent) received a split sentence. A total of 353 (45.3 percent) of the cases sentenced involved paraphernalia, 276 (35.4 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis and 122 (15.7 percent) involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. Pinal County’s tandem prosecution efforts resulted in 30 drug-related task force investigation assists and $821,811 in assets forfeitures, including 145 vehicles. Selected Quarterly Highlights • Grant funded prosecutors, along with the PCNFT and the United States Border Patrol, interdicted cartel backed smuggling groups who transport large drug loads through Pinal County. Last year, eight adults, were stopped and arrested who walked on foot from Mexico, into Pinal County while they collectively carried 562 pounds of marijuana. In another instance, 14 backpackers were arrested who carried among them 1,363 pounds of marijuana. Both of these cases are also being prosecuted by the grant funded prosecutors. • In conjunction with the Pinal County Sheriff, Border Patrol and PCAO an operation focusing on drug scouts resulted in the arrest of seven scouts. They were arrested at two different hilltop locations and possessed equipment including batteries, battery chargers, radios, cell phones, binoculars, camouflage clothing, and enough food and water to enable them to live for weeks on 137 the hilltops. At one location an AR-15 rifle was found. Several scouts made full admissions as to what they were doing, including how much they were being paid by the Sinaloa cartel for their work. The scouts were charged by PCAO with Conspiracy to Transport, Possess for Sale, and/or Import Marijuana for Sale. • In FY 2014, we helped plan, promote and recruit expert presenters for a regional training on the dangers of heroin and opioid prescription pill use in Coolidge, Arizona. This public event was attended by 80 citizens of Pinal County and received local newspaper coverage. Speakers included HIDTA Executive Director and addiction expert from Community Bridges. The event was sponsored by Pinal County Substance Abuse Council, PCAO and Coolidge Youth Coalition. • The grant funded prosecutor engaged in litigation of a professional marijuana load driver arrested in Pinal County transporting 363 pounds of marijuana in a small, rented SUV. The driver had an extensive criminal history that included two prior felony convictions. The defendant would not accept a reasonable plea and demanded a trial, but ended up being convicted at jury trial for transportation and selling of two pounds of marijuana (a class two felony). During the sentencing hearing, the offender received a 15 year prison sentence due to the weight of the marijuana and the two prior felony convictions.

The Santa Cruz County Attorney's Drug Prosecution Project provides adult and juvenile drug and gang case prosecution and asset forfeiture litigation services to the Santa Cruz METRO Narcotics Task Force and other law enforcement agencies in Santa Cruz County. Santa Cruz County is designated as a Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Objective To reduce drug trafficking, sale, and possession of drugs in Santa Cruz County and to disrupt drug-related gang activity in schools and the community. Activity Summary For FY 2014, the SCCAO received a total of 275 drug offense referrals which resulted in 95 drug convictions, of which 75 (78.9 percent) were classified as felonies and 20 (21.1 percent) were misdemeanors. A total of 42 (44.2 percent) convictions involved marijuana/cannabis and 36 (37.9 percent) involved paraphernalia. Of the drug convictions by offense type, 75 (78.9 percent) were for charges of possession/concealing and 20 (21.1 percent) were from transport and import. Of the 96 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 38 (39.6 percent) received probation, 19 (19.8 percent) received fines and 19 received a split sentence and 17 (17.7 percent) received a prison sentence. A total of 42 (43.8 percent) of the cases sentenced involved marijuana/cannabis and 36 (37.5 percent) involved paraphernalia. The Santa Cruz County’s tandem prosecution efforts yielded a value of $319,320 in forfeited assets for the FY 2014 project year. Collaboration efforts resulted in 112 drug-related task force investigation assists and six search warrant assists. Selected Quarterly Highlights • The SCCAO successfully prosecuted juvenile drug smugglers who were apprehended by federal agencies, but are declined prosecution by the United States Attorney's Office. Without the prosecution efforts by the SCCAO, these juvenile offenders would have been released without prosecution. • The SCCAO participated in Operation Detour, a juvenile community outreach program that focuses on drug crime prevention, from personal use to smuggling offenses. This program is performed in conjunction with multiple federal agencies. 142 • The SCCAO participated in tandem prosecution with the Nogales HIDTA Task Force. The Task Force received this year's HIDTA of the Year award for the State of Arizona. Recognition was based on overall performance and highlighted the community outreach that the program conducts, to enhance awareness and prevention.

The Drug Enforcement Project handles all non-felony drug cases referred by the Tucson Police Department's Counter Narcotics Alliance (C.N.A.) Task Force and the Pima County Attorney's Office (PCAO), along with asset forfeiture cases. The unit prosecutes drug cases in Tucson City Court. Objective To consistently and effectively screen, prepare and prosecute misdemeanor drug cases in Tucson City Court, supporting area law enforcement efforts; successfully process and litigate asset forfeiture cases; and increase opportunities for treatment by expanding the adult diversion program to provide a second level of monitored diversion, which will more fully assess and treat drug addiction. Activity Summary TCPO received a total of 6,219 drug offense referrals for the FY 2014 project year. Of referrals received, 657 cases were deferred to a diversion program, 2,209 cases were dismissed, and 2,103 referrals resulted in convictions. All 2,103 drug convictions were of misdemeanor status and derived from charges of possession/concealing. A total of 1,615 (76.8 percent) convictions involved paraphernalia, 448 (21.3 percent) involved marijuana/cannabis. Of the 2,103 individuals sentenced for drug offenses, 1,292 (61.4 percent) received probation, 680 (32.3 percent) received fines and 131 (6.2 percent) received a jail sentence. A total of 1,622 (77.1 percent) of the cases sentenced were for paraphernalia and 441 (21 percent were for marijuana/cannabis There were a total of two vehicles forfeited and 99 instances of currency forfeiture for the FY 2014 project period with a total value of $15,045 in forfeited assets. Selected Quarterly Highlights • The TCAO began working on transforming the office into a “paperless” model. The office handles fifty thousand plus cases per year. Given the number of cases, the requirements for retention, and the limits on storage, changes were necessary. An outside contractor has been retained to work with prosecution staff to develop a custom program for prosecution needs. A great deal of progress has already been made and it is anticipated that the “roll out” will happen before the end of the calendar year. The benefits will be many as prosecutors will have all information about a case available on their tablet device. Staff time will not be consumed with handling files. In 147 addition, transfer of case reports from TPD to the prosecutor’s office will be much more efficient and timely. The citizens of Tucson will be better served by more efficient processing of cases which reduces the time spent on an individual matter. • In the area of forfeitures, we continue to support the efforts of the TPD officers by prosecuting forfeiture cases and taking the ill-gotten gains of drug crimes from the criminals and using the proceeds in the fight against drug crimes. • This office continues to keep abreast of the developments surrounding the illicit use of synthetic cannabinoids. New methods are being identified and testing to detect these substances. Drug prosecutors are supportive of these efforts to curtail the use of “SPICE” and “bath salts.” Even with the changes to Arizona law these cases remain challenging to prove. However, our prosecutors vigorously pursue conviction in these matters. Performance Benchmarks All agencies are required to estimate performance benchmarks according to their program area.

Selected Quarterly Highlights • Yavapai County’s MATFORCE received top national honors as “Coalition of the Year” from the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA). MATFORCE received its award before an audience of more than 2,500 substance abuse prevention and treatment specialists from throughout the country in Washington, D.C. at the CADCA 24th annual National Leadership Forum. MATFORCE was selected for their success in reducing youth prescription drug abuse and underage drinking. The Yavapai County Attorney is the co-founder and co-chair of MATFORCE. • Since January 2014, 54 Resolutions have been passed in Arizona opposing the legalization of marijuana by state, county, and local governments, school boards, businesses, community leaders and individuals. These Resolutions are commitments to the success and positive future 152 of our youth; support public education on the harms of marijuana, and proven prevention interventions such as community-based drug prevention efforts, drug treatment courts, offender re-entry programs and probation reform; and further support making drug treatment available to all who need it. • During the year, the YCAO investigator assisted the PANT task force with numerous drug and money loads on Arizona highways. During one of the interdictions, 2,350 pounds of high grade marijuana were seized with a street value in excess of $8,500,000. In another interdiction, three pounds of methamphetamine were seized. In addition to drug and money loads, the investigator assists PANT and other agencies with affidavits for seizure warrants, search warrants, investigation and seizure of evidence, and interviewing suspects and leads. • The YCAO has been working on a Heroin Pretrial Release Program. The workgroup consists of multiple county and state agencies throughout Yavapai County aimed at facilitating early treatment for heroin use in the community. Members include juvenile and adult probation, judiciary, law enforcement, prosecution, public defender, behavioral health, recovery houses, reentry projects, substance abuse coalitions and State representatives of AHCCCS. Five workgroups have been established, including Evaluating Eligibility for Treatment; Screening for Appropriate Treatment; Treatment Program for Inpatient and Out-Patient; Pretrial Release Program; and Court Process.

Objective The project increases the effectiveness of civil forfeiture in Arizona by prosecution, specialization, coordination and collaborative initiatives. Activity Summary In FY 2014, efforts of the Arizona Attorney General’s Statewide Financial Remedies Project resulted in close to $18.4 million in forfeitures for the program year. Included in the forfeitures were 427 vehicles, 563 instances of currency forfeited, 333 instances of a financial instrument type other than currency, 300 weapons and 56 instances of real property. Selected Quarterly Highlights • In a recent civil asset forfeiture case, the Arizona Department of Gaming and Arizona Attorney General’s Office investigated Prize Redemption devices operated by an Arizona company. The devices were: located in malls, gas stations and movie theaters; offered high-value electronics and prizes such as Apple® iPads®, iPods®, and Xbox 360® gaming systems; and cost approximately $1 to $2.50 per play. The investigation revealed that the devices were rigged to require a set number of loses before a player would be given an opportunity to use skill to try to win a prize, and were considered illegal gambling devices. • AGO-FRS seized hundreds of prizes, a van, cash, bank account proceeds and other property totaling approximately $101,000 pursuant to a Seizure Warrant. This case is believed to be the first investigation and prosecution of the Prize Redemption devices by a federal or state law enforcement agency in the country. The success of the FRS forfeiture action, and related criminal prosecution of this case continues the strong working relationship between the Department of Gaming and AGO. • In another matter, AGO-FRS prosecuted a forfeiture case against a large drug trafficking and money laundering enterprise under investigation by the DEA and Tempe Police Department. The State seized approximately $98,000 from 21 bank accounts used by a Money Laundering Organization (MLO) to launder drug proceeds in Arizona and Texas. Two Mexican residents filed a claim for a portion of the money seized. They claimed that the money was for legitimate earnings from their Mexico business account. The investigation revealed that the citizens gave 164 their Mexican business money to a Casa De Cambio (currency exchange business) owner in Peso form. The peso broker, working with drug trafficking cartels, then arranged to have U.S. dollars deposited into the claimants’ bank account in Phoenix and El Paso, Texas. Some of the deposits were traceable to drug transactions and were made in amounts below the $10,000 Cash Transaction Report filing limit. FRS conducted a bench trial in the Maricopa County Superior Court resulting in a judgment in favor of the State. Thus, the State was able to forfeit all of the money seized in the case, and educate the Court as to significant money laundering issues and techniques. • FRS recently assumed a major role in a nationwide effort led by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to combat the use of “interstate funnel accounts” used by drug trafficking and human smuggling organizations to launder their illicit proceeds. The money transmission scheme involves cash deposits made at multiple branches throughout the country into accounts opened along the Southwest border, a known human and drug smuggling corridor. Funnel accounts are used by criminal enterprises to facilitate the deposit, withdrawal, and/or transfer of illegal drug proceeds from one geographical area to another in a manner calculated to frustrate and avoid law enforcement scrutiny, and in an attempt to introduce the proceeds into the legitimate financial system. Withdrawals of the proceeds are quickly made allowing the criminal enterprises quick access to the funds in the Southwest Border area. For this project, HSI has identified approximately 2,000 suspected Arizona funnel bank accounts, and last quarter FRS procured two seizure warrants targeting 171 accounts used to launder over $6 million in suspected proceeds. This project is an enormous undertaking due to the large number of accounts, related bank records, account holder inquiries and claims, and the expense involved in investigating the funnel account networks.

Arizona requires forensic services to identify illegal drug content, including a scientific examination report identifying the drug as a substance controlled under Arizona statutes. Specialized laboratory analysis is required of clandestine drug lab operations to prosecute under Arizona's drug manufacturing laws. The DPS crime laboratory program provides criminalists and support specialists with the tools to process drug-related forensic tests and examinations for law enforcement agencies throughout the state. Objective To provide timely, quality scientific forensic support through the investigation and examination of drugrelated evidence required for effective court adjudication of drug-related cases. Activity Summary During FY 2014, the DPS crime lab received 12,665 analysis requests, 1,095 of which were from drug and gang task forces. Of the 12,665 analysis requests received, there were 29,172 different types of drugs analyzed; the majority 14,625 (50.1 percent) was identified as marijuana or cannabis. Methamphetamines were identified 5,937 times (20.4 percent). Heroin was identified 2,213 (7.6 percent) times and Cocaine (crack or powder) was identified 1,418 (4.9 percent) times. Selected Quarterly Highlights • The DPS Crime Laboratory assisted with a major joint drug investigation by AZ DPS Narcotics and the Phoenix Police Department. This investigation targeted violent criminal street gangs responsible for trafficking phencyclidine (PCP). In order to make this investigation a success, many undercover street “buys” of PCP were accomplished linking gangs, gang members and a PCP pipeline from Southern California. These “buys” required immediate Crime Lab analysis to verify the presence of the PCP. Therefore, the DPS Crime Lab coordinated with investigators, completing over 65 suspected PCP submissions on an emergency basis. The 65 cases were submitted over an approximate one month period and the timely lab results allowed arrest warrants to be served on 16 different locations in Phoenix, with 22 individuals arrested and a major PCP trafficking operation disrupted. • DPS Crime Laboratory Criminalists assisted with the processing of a drug manufacturing scene in Tempe, Arizona. The scene was found to contain over 30 pounds of raw drug material, one thousand 170 tablets and a motorized pill press. Samples from the pills, raw material and pill presses were analyzed by the DPS Crime Laboratory and the drug methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), known on the street as ecstasy, was identified. The laboratory results allowed investigators to shut down a major drug operation that occupied an apartment in Tempe, across from Arizona State University. • The DPS Crime Laboratory has continued to take the lead, spearheading efforts to bring highly dangerous, synthetic drugs under statutory control. These drugs advertised as “legal highs” have serious physiological effects including addiction, agitation, rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure, cardiovascular arrhythmias and heart failure. In 2013, model legislation written by the DPS Crime Lab became law, April 3, 2013, and brought several synthetic drug backbones under control covering thousands of synthetic drugs being sold in Arizona. In FY 2014, the DPS Crime Lab wrote additional legislation covering new emerging synthetic drugs found in Arizona, the United States and worldwide. This comprehensive additional legislation, HB 2453, was passed and signed with an emergency clause becoming effective April 15, 2014. HB 2453 added eight new synthetic drug backbones covering additional cannabis synthetic drugs, additional stimulant “bath salt” synthetic drugs, additional hallucinogenic synthetic drugs and narcotic synthetic drugs. • Although synthetic drug laws have been comprehensively updated in Arizona, people still find ways to circumvent the law. DPS Crime Lab criminalists assisted Southwest Border High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) investigators at a clandestine drug lab where the suspect stated they were attempting to make “improved” synthetic drugs. The large scale lab was able to operate at a production level and was capable of making thousands of drug dosages. The DPS criminalists were able to determine that the individual was not synthesizing new drugs but was attempting to concentrate already controlled substances and make them potent. Drugs found included DMT (a hallucinogen extracted from a tree bark where it occurs in small amounts), psilocybe hallucinogenic mushrooms, a highly concentrated hashish (marijuana resin) and other drugs. By concentrating drugs to deliver a more mind altering experience the drug can be become dangerous. This was demonstrated by a recent case in Colorado where an individual ingested food with a high THC concentration (the active ingredient in marijuana) and became highly agitated, jumping to his death from an apartment balcony.

Following legally regulated guidelines and precise testing procedures, drugs are analyzed to identify and legally substantiate the amount and types of narcotics involved. Working as a collaborative effort, the TPD forensic employees, Counter Narcotics Alliance (C.N.A.) officers and attorneys from the Pima County Attorney’s Office (PCAO) develop and process legal evidence used to prosecute drug offenders. Forensic analysts are frequently called upon to provide expert scientific testimony in court. Objective To produce substance test results and written reports that will be used for prosecution evidence, and to provide law enforcement agencies in the Tucson area with timely, quality scientific support required for effective court adjudication of drug-related cases. Activity Summary During FY 2014, the TPD Crime Lab received 1,493 forensic analysis requests, 547 of which were from drug task force related. Of the 1,493 analyses completed, 618 (41.4 percent) were identified as marijuana or cannabis. Methamphetamines were identified 231 times (15.5 percent). Cocaine (both crack and powder) was identified 210 times (14.1 percent). Heroin, prescription, synthetic and non-controlled drugs were identified in 20 percent of total analyses. The average number of days to process from receipt of sample to reporting analysis results was 90 days. TPD Lab had three full time equivalents (FTEs) devoted to drug analysis during this period, averaging 191 cases per FTE. Expert testimony was provided in court 98 times. Selected Quarterly Highlights • During FY 2014, four defendants, all of whom have disappeared and were tried in absentia, were found guilty. These four defendants were among 15 people arrested in 2012 in connection with a long-running drug smuggling operation. This was an Attorney General's Office Task Force case in which a TPD Crime Lab drug chemist testified. 173 • In January 2013, a new drug chemist trainee was hired by TPD Crime Lab. The drug training program is about a year long. Beginning in January 2014, the trainee began supervised casework and is now helping to reduce the drug case backlog.

The Anti-Drug Adjudication program enhances drug-related court activities throughout the state, including those of several Superior Courts in Arizona and adult probation offices in Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Graham, Greenlee, La Paz, Maricopa, Mohave, Pinal, Yavapai and Yuma Counties, and the Public Defender, Clerk and Superior Court Offices in Maricopa County. Objective To expedite the processing and adjudication of drug and drug related cases through the superior court system; and to enhance community correction efforts to supervise, monitor and provide treatment services for offenders charged with and/or convicted of drug and drug related crimes through increased drug testing, assessment administration, absconder apprehension, and drug court programs. Activity Summary In FY 2014, Arizona Supreme Court Anti-Drug Adjudication Program supported 2,034 drug court participants. A total of 1,959 drug court participants did not recidivate during program participation and 1,001 participants were employed during the time spent in the program. There were 124 drug court graduates during this period. The average processing time for drug-related cases was 506 days. The majority of cases met disposition within 90 days, with 10,170 (57.2 percent) of cases being disposed within one to 90 days, 4,099 (23.1 percent) were disposed within 91 to 180 days, and 2,469 (13.9 percent) were disposed of between 181 and 360 days. The remaining 1,044 (5.9 percent) of cases were disposed of in a time period greater than 360 days. There were a total of 14,158 probationers served during the FY 2014 program period. A total of 1,630 probationers received one or more drug tests, 2,034 probationers received drug treatment, 124 probationers completed drug treatment, and 178 absconders were apprehended. A total of 1,100 presentence investigation reports were prepared, with one not submitted on time. Of 16,342 urinalysis tests performed, a total of 426 urinalysis tests (2.6 percent) were positive, and 15,916 (97.4 percent) were negative. In providing program support for Indigent Defense Services, 1,636 indigent defendants were served and 1,349 were convicted. A total of 385 convicted indigent defendants received a sentence involving incarceration. 178 Selected Quarterly Highlights During FY 2014, several of Arizona’s 15 Superior Courts reported successes, collaborative projects, improved case processing, goals achieved and enhanced community corrections efforts. The highlights below represent a sampling of the program’s accomplishments. • The apprehension programs in Mohave and Yavapai Counties exceeded their target goals for FY 2014. A total of 178 drug absconders were apprehended in FY 2014; the FY 2014 target was 160. The grant funding that these programs receive plays a huge role in Probations obligation to ensure public safety as these absconders are brought back to the courts and placed back under supervision. Both Mohave and Yavapai Counties have been able to recover owed fines, fees, and restitution due to the apprehension of drug offenders. • Grant funded Indigent Defense Attorneys represent individuals going through the criminal justice system who have a financial hardship. These attorneys represent approximately 28% of the drug and drug related Indigent cases. The Indigent Defense Program helps to ensure that all individuals going through the criminal justice system have the same opportunity to representation. • Research continues to show the advantage and success of Drug Courts. The three grant funded Drug Courts are committed to the success of their participants. The staff are open to new program ideas and keep up-to-date on what is being done nationally. Drug Court staff collaborate with treatment providers to ensure they are offering the offender the best opportunity possible to overcome a drug addiction. The three grant funded Drug Courts have a 44.77% successful graduation rate. • One of the biggest problems with recidivism is the lack of treatment for drug and drug related offenders. The grant funded probation screeners, help prepare the pre-sentence investigative report, which plays an important role in assessing the eligibility of offenders for Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) services and then ensuring that referrals are made promptly in order to keep the drug offender on track with treatment. Research shows that the sooner a drug offender begins treatment the higher the success rate will be for completion of the program.

Project Objective To safeguard Arizona citizens and taxpayer funds by investigating and prosecuting health care providers stealing Arizona Medicaid funds and/or resources or who abuse or neglect patients in Arizona Medicaidfunded health care facilities. Program efforts of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit reduce the availability of prescription drugs (particularly narcotics) and other abuse pharmaceuticals into the illegal markets of Arizona. Activity Summary During the program year FY 2014, the AGO received 52 case referrals that resulted in 28 people being charged with a total of 305 charges. Of the individuals charged, 22 (78.6 percent) were healthcare staff that were not licensed prescribers, 16 (72.7 percent) were independent and not affiliated with a network. The counties with the highest number of charges, 17 (60.7 percent) were in Maricopa, five (17.9 percent) were in Pima and four (14.3 percent) were in Yuma. Of the cases filed, there were 44 convictions with 29 (65.9 percent) being felony. Of the prescription drugs removed, 109,941 (55.9 percent) involved pain relievers classified as Hydrocodone, and 49,223 (25 percent) involved Oxycodone and other pain relievers and 37,442 (19 percent) involved muscle relaxants with an estimated value of over $435,000. Selected Quarterly Highlights • A two year case reached a critical juncture when the multi-agency task force executed six search warrants in two states. The task force included members from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (US DEA), Office of Inspector General for Health and Human Services and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. The arrests in Arizona consisted of an Arizona licensed medical doctor, a medical records assistant and a non-health care associate who were arrested after the filing of a thirty-six count criminal complaint. The three offenders were charged with various crimes relating to the illegal administration of narcotic drugs and health insurance fraud related crimes • A Prescott resident was sentenced to five years in the Arizona Department of Corrections for prescription drug fraud related crimes that included fraudulently obtaining government paid medical assistance as a method to acquire narcotic drugs. The defendant's fraud cost the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) program more than $10,000 in unnecessary medical expenses. In addition to being sentenced to prison, the defendant has been ordered to 182 reimburse the AHCCCS program for the services obtained fraudulently. The case was investigated and prosecuted jointly by the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, the Prescott Police Department and the Office of the Inspector General for Health and Human Services. • A Phoenix retail pharmacist became suspicious about prescriptions which were being picked up by a customer, who was also a pharmacist. The concerned pharmacist had noticed that insurance was being billed costly amounts for the prescriptions presented by the pharmacist. It turned out that the patient, who’s name was being used on the suspicious prescriptions, belonged to a military pilot stationed overseas. The matter was referred to the Phoenix Police Department which investigated the case and then referred the matter to the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Section of the Attorney General’s Office. The suspect pharmacist was charged with six drug related offenses, and was sentenced to 18 months’ probation following pleading guilty to the charge of Solicitation to Commit Possession of a Narcotic Drug, a Class 6 Undesignated Felony. • A county medical assistant had been calling in for narcotic drug prescriptions under the authority of numerous physicians who had not given the suspect permission to do so. The Prescott Area Narcotics Task Force (PANT) investigators had concerns that the alleged crime might involve up to 100 fraudulent narcotic drug prescriptions filled or written between 2008 and 2013. The suspect medical assistant was contacted and made admissions to the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit Special Agent. The suspect was charged with 28 drug related offenses by the Yavapai County Grand Jury. 183 Medicaid Fraud Project: Arizona Attorney General Office Grant Number: DC-13-301 & DC-14-010 Prescription Drug Cases Investigated Cases referred Cases opened for investigation Healthcare affiliated individuals charged Cases involving more than one county jurisdiction Total Charges Total persons charged Average Number of Charges per Case Average Number of Felony Charges per Case Sentences Current Quarter 52 53 26 2 305 28 10.6 10.575 Number of Cases Sentences Average Length of Sentence Prescription Drug Cases Investigated Felony Convictions Convictions Less than a Felony Prescription Drug Fraud Cases Prosecuted Current Quarter Cases Referred by Law Enforcement Cases Referred by Non-Law Enforcement Agencies Cases Accepted for Prosecution Cases Prosecuted (completed case) Cases with Multiple Serious Charges Cases with Multiple Defendants Cases with Multiple Jurisdictions Total Criminal Counts Charged Drug Type Pain reliever - Hydrocodone Pain reliever - Oxycodone Pain reliever - Other Stimulant Sedative Muscle relaxant Licensed Prescriber (MD/DO/NP/PA) Healthcare Staff (Not licensed Prescribers) Pharmacist Pharmacy Technician Pilferer (Casual or Systematic) Patient (“doctor shopper”) Other Charges by County Apache Coconino Cochise Gila Graham Greenlee La Paz Maricopa Mohave Navajo Pima Pinal Santa Cruz Yavapai Yuma Same Quarter, Last Year 29 11 23 31 31 6 2 301 Made to an External Agency Intelligence Requests Intelligence Shared Investigation Assist Requests Source Profile by Individuals Charged Network Independ Under 18 Male Female Affiliation ent 0 1 0 6 16 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 Number of Individuals Charged 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 17 0 0 5 0 0 4 0 29 15 Intelligence Sharing and Collaborative Investigation Prescription Drug Removals by Type & Quantity Criminally Charged Not Charged Criminally Quantity Quantity Value Value (Doses) (Doses) 9,900 $ 16,901 100,041 $ 192,142 2,547 $ 23,875 11,578 $ 105,953 33,948 $ 9,490 1,150 $ 1,500 $ 100 $ 200 $ 143 $ 335 953 $ 250 36,489 $ 85,020 Type of Source County 21 8 29 30 27 6 1 254 29 0.6375 Same Quarter, Last Year 31 2.925 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 49 45 26 Received from an External Agency 37 33 22 Totals Quantity Value (Doses) 109,941 $ 209,043 14,125 $ 129,828 35,098 $ 10,990 100 $ 200 143 $ 335 37,442 $ 85,270 18 & Over Male Female 1 0 0 22 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 1 0 Asset Forfeitures Asset Type Vehicles Vessels Aircraft Currency Other Financial Instrument Real Property (Real Estate) Weapons Other Total Number of Value of Forfeitures Forfeitures 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ - 184 Gerald Hardt Memorial Criminal Justice Records Improvement Program (CJRIP) Activities FY 2014 Award AZ Criminal Records Infrastructure Improvement Assessment $225,585 TOTAL $225,585 185 CJRIP – AZ Criminal Records Infrastructure Improvement Assessment Approved Budget FY 2014 Professional & Outside Svs. Total Fund Source: Byrne/JAG $225,585 $225,585 $225,585 Project Administration and Title Arizona Criminal Justice Commission – Arizona Criminal Records Infrastructure Improvement Assessment Report Project Description Improving information sharing in Arizona: Community and Officer Safety, Offender Accountability, and Creating an Effective Criminal Justice System.
