ENFORCEMENT ACCOUNT In FY 2004 (July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004), the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission distributed a total of $14,305,622 in award funds from the Drug and Gang Enforcement Account to eighty-five (85) projects in the State. The Account includes $2,408,078 of local cash match funds deposited by grant recipients. SOURCE OF MONIES Federal Formula Grant Funds Drug Fines State Appropriated Funds Local Match Funds 2004 $7,224,235 4,673,309 0 2,408,078 The Commission authorizes Account funding to projects in the State in six program areas in accordance with the statewide enhanced drug enforcement strategy and the Account guidelines. The six areas are: drug apprehension and prosecution; criminal history records improvement; drug offender adjudication; drug offender detention; drug analysis (forensic services); and drug abuse education/prevention. In FY 2004, sixteen (16) drug apprehension projects consisting of sixteen (16) multijurisdictional, multi-agency drug task forces, established in all fifteen (15) counties in the State of Arizona, received support funding from the Account. There were fifteen (15) drug prosecution projects in the State receiving support funding from the Account. Included in these fifteen (15) projects were full-time dedicated drug prosecutors in thirteen (13) of the fifteen (15) counties in Arizona. During FY 2004, fifteen (15) criminal history records improvement projects received Account funds. Drug offender detention projects in two (2) counties received Account funds. Enhanced drug forensic analysis projects included the Department of Public Safety, the Phoenix Police Department, and the Tucson Police Department received Account funds. One (1) grant awarded to the Administrative Office of the Courts passed Account funds through to thirty-four (34) court related enhancement projects in all fifteen (15) counties in Arizona. There were no requests for drug abuse education/prevention funding in FY 2004. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 3 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account In FY 2004 direct personnel costs made up 90.52 percent of the expenditures from the Account. Other costs associated with the projects such as equipment, operations, space, etc., were supplied by the State, county, and local authorities participating in the projects. Account expenditures provided salaries, overtime, and employee-related expenses for 242 criminal justice professionals in the State of Arizona. FY 2004 Narcotics Agents/Investigators 74 Support Staff 82 Prosecutors 45 Probation Officers 11 Public Defenders 5 Forensic Criminalists/Print Examiners 11 Detention Officers 9 Judges/Commissioners 5 TOTAL 242 In FY 2004 apprehension project activities resulted in the arrest of 3,322 drug offense violators, a slight decrease over FY 2003 (3,355); the removal of 221,205 pounds of marijuana; over 3,964 pounds of cocaine a 93.48 percent increase over FY 2003, and 454.7 pounds of methamphetamine a 30.16 percent increase (343.3) over the same period. Drug traffickers' non-drug assets with a gross estimated value of $18,263,313 were seized during this 12-month period. Statistical results have been compiled from the fifteen (15) drug prosecution projects funded by the Account for FY 2004. During this period, 19,637 drug violators were convicted in the State, a 37.76 percent increase over FY 2003 (14,254), 61.89 percent (12,153) of which were felony convictions. Prison sentences were handed down to 3,327 of these convicted drug violators; 4,585 received jail sentences; and 10,590 were placed on probation. The criminal justice records improvement projects receiving support funds from the Account have enabled State, county and local law enforcement agencies to improve criminal justice records automation systems by the acquisition of hardware, software and consultant expertise. Expenditures from the Account began in March 1988, and a sustained continuous program has been maintained since that time. In the 195 month period (16.25 years) from April 1, 1988 through June 30, 2004, $66,822,580 was expended on apprehension projects; $65,105,593 for prosecution projects; $36,722,854 for adjudication projects; $15,082,188 on drug forensic analysis and drug offender detention projects; $1,432,222 drug prevention and 4 Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account education; and $7,553,674 for criminal history records improvement projects, which had its first expenditure in FY 1995. The statewide enhanced drug enforcement program has been highly productive. During the 16.25 years, apprehension projects' activities resulted in the arrest of 51,735 drug offense violators. Program activities were responsible for the removal of over 65,966 pounds of cocaine; over 2,149,684 pounds of marijuana; over 382 pounds of heroin; and over 2,993 pounds of amphetamine/methamphetamine. Drug traffickers' non-drug assets with a gross estimated value of $176,987,281 were seized. The results achieved in the 195 months (16.25 years) of the enhanced drug enforcement program show that for every $1,292 expended by the apprehension projects, one (1) drug violator arrest was made, drug traffickers were deprived of the profit from the drugs seized and also deprived of an estimated value of $3,421 in non-drug assets seized. NOTICE 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, and processing and disposition fees are also 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 statewide distribution of Drug and Gang Enforcement Account funds for FY 2004 for each project is presented by geographical area and program on the following pages.

During 2001 and 2002, the Arizona Courts developed this software platform to allow courts to report case dispositions electronically directly to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). The project included creating the messaging infrastructure to communicate with the law enforcement network and modifying the court’s case management system to generate electronics transactions for disposition data entry. The project also included training on DPS records, the disposition workflow, and implementing the electronic disposition reporting in the courts. There are currently issues with the error rate and ongoing discussions with DPS, which require resolution before DPS allows electronic disposition reporting. This project has been extended to June 30, 2005. 54 Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Arizona Department of Liquor Licensing and Control Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $4,774 $1,194 The Department of Liquor Licensing and Control maintains access to the Arizona Criminal Justice Information System (ACJIS) and a link to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The department link was outdated and the equipment was not compatible with the FBI encryption requirements that will be going into effect in 2005. The department previous analog network did not have the capability to be encrypted. The project involved the acquisition of a new computer workstation, printer, router, and funding of the DPS frame relay circuit for 12 months. The new link is installed and operating. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 55 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Arizona Department of Public Safety Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $17,887 $4,472 This project, administered by the Arizona Department of Public safety (DPS), provided replacement of computer terminals, printers, and software at the Arizona Central Repository/Department records area. Replaced equipment was obsolete and difficult to repair.

This project, administered by the ASU Department of Public Safety, was aimed at installing a Sagem Morpho Live Scan Fingerprinting System in order to input and access fingerprint data electronically. The goal of this project is to further enhance the ASU-DPS automation system by sharing information with the statewide database maintained by the Department of Public Safety. The ASUDPS Live Scan fingerprint system is now fully operational. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 57 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Buckeye Police Department Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $18,419 $4,605 The Buckeye Police Department had a need to expand their Mobile Data Computer inventory to accommodate the growth of the department and technology (CDPD) that was not able to meet their needs. The increase in data transmission space required the inclusion of graphics files and photographs. This necessitated a different mode and new equipment. The program’s goals were to update the current technology to a CDMA system, add additional MDCs to the patrol fleet, and reduce the time officers spent out of service writing reports. The installation of the CDMA network significantly improved the field officers’ availability, with increased time spent in the field and less in the office. 58 Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Coconino County Attorney’s Office Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $17,764 $4,441 This project is administered by the Coconino County Attorney’s Office and it involved upgrading server equipment and associated hardware and software to effectively run the upgraded DAMION case management software. The task of managing the increasing criminal case load of the County Attorney’s Office led the office to re-engineer their records management systems and to join the Criminal Justice Integration Project. Along this effort, the office acquired the DAMION case management system and this required a new server. The previous server was unable to manage the functions required to recover data, and to administer, report, and track DAMION data entry. The primary goal of this project was to acquire, install, and configure the server to allow a transfer of data by January 2004, the project was completed successfully. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 59 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Cottonwood Police Department Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $50,622 $12,656 This project is administered by the Cottonwood Police Department. Cottonwood is serving as host to a Spillman Consortium of agencies, which includes the Clarkdale Police Department, Camp Verde Marshal’s Office, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, and the Yavapai Apache Tribal Police. The host agency’s IBM server was outdated and not able to handle the added workload from additional workstations by the Consortium agencies. The addition of software modules such as CAD mapping, enhanced records management, and evidence tracking was not feasible until a new server was acquired. The goal of the project was to replace the existing server with an updated IBM server and associated software. The new system has been installed and is currently in operation. 60 Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Eloy Police Department Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $19,950 $4,988 This project is administered by the Eloy Police Department. Its goal is to reduce the time required for field officers to submit their reports by utilizing a direct download process from their laptop computers and eliminating the manual data entry by records personnel. The acquisition of Field Reporting Software will expedite the departmental reporting process. The goals of this project also included the conversion of the department’s booking and evidentiary photographic process from film to digital photography. The software and hardware DIGIMUG system will enable the integration of booking and evidentiary photographs into the Records Management System. The Field Reporting system was acquired and it is currently being utilized. The digital photography system was acquired but interfacing issues with current software have not been resolved.

The office recently acquired a full Records Management System (RMS), which included a Wants and Warrants module. However, the system needed an additional interface in order to be compatible with their Jail Management System and avoid double entry of data. The primary goal of the project was to expand the MCSO’s RMS functionality for online wants and warrants processing and improve warrant dispositions to the state. The communications interface between MCSO and the Arizona Department of Public Safety has been tested but final approval has not been received. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 63 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $24,953 $6,238 This project is administered by the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and it consisted of acquisition and installation of hardware and software for a document imaging system. The department’s paperwork flow process was hindered by the need to process paper copies for both internal use and outside requests. The primary goal of the project was to operate a system that would scan all copies of reports and integrate with the current Spillman system. It would include installing scanning stations at the three regional substations, the records division, and the inmate intake unit. The document scanner system is in place and operating effectively. 64 Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Surprise Police Department Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $98,362 $24,584 This project is administered by the Surprise Police Department. The police department acquired a Records Management System (RMS) to replace a 12-year-old system. The department also acquired a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) package to replace a manual dispatch process.

The complete RMS and CAD systems are online and operating properly. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 65 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Tolleson Police Department Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $90,335 $22,584 This project is administered by the Tolleson Police Department. Because of funding issues the department was not able to establish computer-aided dispatching functions. In an inter-agency cooperation effort, the department and the Buckeye Police Department agreed to share the Buckeye Records Management and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems, to include the mobile application features of the Buckeye Police Department. In order to allow the two systems to interface, Tolleson acquired and implemented the ROVER Mobile Application. The goal of enabling the sharing of records and dispatch systems between the two departments was completed, along with the mobile application. 66 Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Tucson Police Department Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $94,500 $23,625 This project is administered by the Tucson Police Department and is addressed at reducing the delay in the entry of fingerprints and arrest information into the Arizona Automated Fingerprint System (AZAFIS) and the Arizona Computerized Criminal History. The delay was caused by having to share one of the two Live Scan units at the department’s crime laboratory. A secondary issue was the need to take mugshots of persons who were field released and not booked. In those cases their fingerprints and photographs were not generated. The project included a mugshot capture station. The two goals of the project were completed and both systems are fully operational. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2004 67 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Activities Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Source and amount of monies received: FY 2004 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funds: Includes Local Cash Matching Funds: $34,060 $8,437 This grant is administered by the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office.
