Executive Director Arizona Criminal Justice Commission The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) is a statutorily authorized entity mandated to carry out various coordinating, monitoring and reporting functions regarding the administration and management of criminal justice programs in Arizona. In accordance with statutory guidelines, the Commission is comprised of 19 members who represent various elements of the criminal justice system in Arizona. Fourteen of the 19 Commissioners are appointed by the governor and are municipal, county or elected officials. The remaining five are state criminal justice agency heads. Appointed Commissioners serve for two years and terminate when the first regular session of the legislature is convened; they may be reappointed. The ACJC was created in 1982 to serve as a resource and service organization for Arizona's 480 criminal justice agencies on a myriad of issues ranging from drugs, gangs, victim compensation and assistance to criminal record improvement initiatives. The ACJC works on behalf of the criminal justice agencies in Arizona to facilitate information and data exchange among statewide agencies by establishing and maintaining criminal justice information archives, monitoring new and continuing legislation relating to criminal justice issues, gathering information, and researching existing criminal justice programs. The mission of the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission is to sustain and enhance the coordination, cohesiveness, productivity, and effectiveness of the criminal justice system in Arizona. JOHN A.

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 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 2008 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 2009 (July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009), 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. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2009 1 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Funding In FY 2009 (July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009), the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission awarded a total of $12,592,560 in funds from the Drug and Gang Enforcement Account to 53 programs in the state. Of this amount, $7,247,034 was awarded from drug offense fines, and $2,624,771 of local cash match funds deposited by grant recipients. Drug and Gang Enforcement Account projects are also supplemented by federal funds from the Justice Assistance Grant totaling $2,720,755 in FY 2009. Program Funding Levels FY 2006 - FY 2009 $8,000,000 $7,000,000 $6,000,000 $5,000,000 $4,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $0 FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2008 FY 2009 Federal Funds $6,527,720 $3,765,673 $4,728,038 $2,720,755 Drug Fines $5,111,170 $6,000,000 $6,107,500 $7,247,034 Local Match Funds $2,175,910 $2,463,536 $2,685,264 $2,624,771 The Commission authorizes account funding to programs 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; drug offender adjudication; drug offender detention; drug analysis (forensic services); criminal records improvement; and drug abuse education/prevention. In FY 2009, drug apprehension programs consisting of 15 multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency drug task forces, established in all 15 counties in the state of Arizona, received funding from the account. There were 15 drug prosecution programs in the state receiving support from the account. Included in these programs were full-time dedicated drug prosecutors in 13 counties in Arizona. During FY 2009, the strategy to improve criminal history records included the foundational project to automate arrest and disposition reporting through the Arizona Disposition Reporting System (ADRS) managed by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). In addition, 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 18 court-based enhancement programs in all 15 Arizona counties. There were no funding requests for drug abuse education/prevention and drug offender detention programs in FY 2009. The account also provided funding for Gang Prosecution programs at the Attorney General’s Office, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, and the Pima County Attorney’s Office. In FY 2009, the Legislature cut the General Fund appropriation to Gang Prosecution programs totaling $247,200 and Drug and Gang Enforcement Account funds were used to hold these programs harmless. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2009 2 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Expenditures In FY 2009, direct personnel costs made up 97.5 percent of the expenditures from the account. Other costs associated with the programs such as contracted services, training, equipment, operations costs, and office space were also funded by the state, federal, and local matching funds.

There were 4,733 arrests for marijuana accounting for 65 percent of drug-related arrests and representing a 23 percent increase from the previous fiscal year. Methamphetamine arrests totaled 904, decreasing from FY 2008 by more than 8 percent. Cocaine arrests comprised 13 percent of FY 2009 drug offenses. Arrests for cocaine, heroin and other illicit drugs showed less than three percent change, with heroin slightly higher (2 percent) and cocaine (less than 2 percent) and other drug types (one percent) slightly lower than the previous fiscal year.

The HIDTA regions encompass all western and southern counties in Arizona and span Maricopa and Pinal Counties in the central portion 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 the area into Mexico. Factors cited include vast stretches of remote, sparsely populated border areas that are conducive to large-scale smuggling; continuing 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 abused illicit drug in Arizona’s HIDTA region. In addition, methamphetamine production, distribution, and abuse pose problems, and cocaine and heroin are also abused in Arizona. 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. The Arizona HIDTA region is reported as the principal entry point for marijuana entering the United States from Mexico. Federal reporting systems note that, although cocaine and methamphetamine are also smuggled in large quantities, seizures of these drug types have decreased. Data from the National Seizure System (NSS) show an increase in heroin seizures between calendar years 2007 and 2008. 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. The Arizona Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Strategy 2008 – 2011 (2009, Arizona Criminal Justice Commission) outlines statewide priorities to combat drug trafficking and associated criminal activity. The first priority supports the use of task forces, tandem prosecution activities, and civil forfeiture efforts. Substance Use Among Arizona Youth Information from the Arizona Youth Survey 2008 (2009, Arizona Criminal Justice Commission) shows that more than 43 percent of Arizona 12th graders surveyed have used marijuana at least once. For illegal substances, marijuana has the highest level (27.4 percent) of reported use across grades surveyed. Among 8th, 10th and 12th grade students, the four substances that have the highest percentages of use are alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana and prescription drugs. Though substance use decreased for most drug types from 2006, prescription drug use increased in all grades. Those reporting use of prescription drugs anytime in their lives was 22.4 percent and 10.7 percent reported having used prescription drugs in the past 30 days. The rate of substance use increased, in general, as a youth’s age increased with the exception of inhalant use, which decreased. The same four substances that students reported having used at least once in their lives (alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana and prescription drugs) were also the highest for use in the past thirty days. Almost two percent (1.9 percent) reported using cocaine, 1.3 percent used ecstasy, 0.6 percent used methamphetamine, and 0.6 percent used heroin. Though a much higher percentage reported prescription drug use (10.7 percent), the highest use other than alcohol (33.1 percent) and cigarettes (14.7 percent), is marijuana (12.5 percent). The consistently high rate of marijuana use among Arizona’s youth (from 2004 – 2008 data) runs parallel to the high rate of marijuana arrests and seizures of marijuana. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2009 6 Drug and Gang Enforcement Account Seizures Marijuana (by the pound) seizures climbed more than six percent from FY 2008 to FY 2009, increasing for the fourth year. In FY 2009, 325,203 pounds of marijuana were seized. The number of marijuana plants seized remained relatively static. There were a reported 40,184 marijuana plants seized.

After forfeiture is achieved, lienholders (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. Conviction activity The combined efforts of law enforcement and prosecution led to 20,592 drug-related convictions in FY 2009. For FY 2009 there were fewer drug convictions than the previous fiscal year. Methamphetamine convictions were fewer, but there were more persons convicted for heroin charges in FY 2009 than the previous fiscal year. Marijuana offenses accounted for 6,668 convictions followed by paraphernalia with 6,204. Drug possession charges top the drug-related conviction list at 14,756. More than 46,000 cases were referred and nearly two-thirds were concluded (63 percent). Prosecutors declined 17,412 cases, 37 percent of the number of cases referred. Of the convictions reached, 20,377, or nearly 99 percent, were a result of plea negotiations. Approximately one percent of the cases were decided by trial. The majority of drug offenses were felonies totaling 12,054. Misdemeanor classifications accounted for 8,159 offenses, and 379 were undesignated or unknown. Defendants received sentences that may have included the following: incarceration, probation, fines, community service, a combination of one or more types, or other. The majority of defendants (9,590) received a sentence of probation. Prison sentences were given in 4,982 cases and 870 persons received jail sentences. Fines were given in 2,203 cases and 2,800 persons received split sentences. More than 40 percent of those convicted received sentences for violent drug-related offenses.

The establishment of the Edward Byrne Memorial program initially required that each state allocate at least five percent of its total Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance funds for the improvement of criminal justice records. No longer a mandatory set-aside, the Commission continues to approve five percent of the Byrne/JAG funding for the Gerald Hardt Memorial Criminal Justice Records Improvement Program (CJRIP) to support the Arizona Records Improvement and Information Sharing Plan (AZ RIISP). CJRIP supports project goals identified by the AZ RIISP, which has been submitted to the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance. The goals outlined in the AZ RIISP 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 encouraging automation and establishing uniform procedures for reporting arrests and/or disposition information to the criminal history records Central State Repository. The criminal justice records improvement programs receiving support funds from the account have enabled state, county and local agencies to improve criminal justice records systems by the acquisition of hardware, software and consultant expertise. As mandated by A.R.S, §41-1750, Arizona criminal justice agencies are required to submit arrest and case disposition information for all felony offenses to the central state repository, also called the Arizona Computerized Criminal History (ACCH). The criminal arrest and disposition information creates a criminal history record within the ACCH linking the offender to the specific offense. This information is shared with local, state, and federal agencies investigating criminal cases, as well as private industry for running background checks, and issuing firearms permits. Account history Expenditures from the account began in March 1988 and a sustained continuous program has been maintained since that time. From April 1, 1988 through June 30, 2009, $97,870,471 has been expended on apprehension programs; $88,545,550 for prosecution programs; $48,913,204 for adjudication programs; $18,053,493 on drug forensic analysis and drug offender detention programs; $1,432,222 drug prevention and education; and $9,419,837 for criminal history records improvement programs, which had its first expenditure in FY 1995. During the 21 years, apprehension program activities resulted in the arrest of 79,691 drug offense violators.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) oversees the multi-year, multi-agency project to automate criminal history reporting. The ADRS application is listed as a priority project in the Arizona Integrated Criminal Justice Information Systems (AZ ICJIS) Strategic Plan for building an infrastructure for integration and information sharing. Representatives from across the Arizona criminal justice community identified specific systems and processes to improve the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of criminal history information. Through the implementation of automated systems such as ADRS duplicate data entry and risk of error are reduced. ADRS is a software application that allows agencies to enter arrest and final disposition information in an automated format directly into the Automated Computerized Criminal History (ACCH) central repository. The ADRS project was launched in 2004 to address the priorities of the state’s disposition reporting process. The project design includes two versions of ADRS; a web-interface version that allows low volume reporting agencies access to ADRS via a web portal, and a direct access version utilizing an XMLl format for larger agencies. The current award for ADRS under CJRIP is to provide technical support and maintenance for the two-fold ADRS application. ADRS was a first step toward an automated process of collecting and reporting criminal information and enhancing Arizona’s foundation of information sharing, assessment and detection capabilities. Stakeholders plan to build upon the ADRS framework to expand automated disposition capabilities and improve the quality and accessibility of criminal history information across the criminal justice community. Objective: Provide ongoing support and maintenance to the Arizona Disposition Reporting System application Activity: Project Priority As a multi-year, multi-agency initiative expected to improve the quality of criminal history records, ADRS remains a priority for Arizona. In spite of significant funding challenges, key stakeholders continue to make progress. ADRS implementation and support has been possible through the dedicated efforts of the ADRS team of participants, coordinated objectives and timeline, and project-ready pilot agencies. The ADRS project is supported through the coordination of multiple funding sources. A request to extend this award was granted to September 2010. Program activities are ongoing and funds are being used for information technology personnel, both internal and contractual, for programming maintenance and support. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2009 51 Criminal Justice Records Improvement Program Collaboration Criminal justice stakeholders from law enforcement, prosecutors and courts collaborate and leverage limited funding to contribute to the success of ADRS. A regular meeting schedule was established to maintain communication and direction, and to identify roles among project participants. A workgroup comprised of representatives from across the criminal justice system was established to identify possible gaps in the business processes used in criminal history reporting and put forth cross-jurisdictional solutions. Technical Progress ADRS went into production in October 2007 converting data from the ADRS database. An interface with the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) allows users direct access to arrest data held in the ADRS database. Early project activity included the preparation and approval of Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPDs) providing system specifications, and a web interface version was implemented. A “File/No File” feature was added as a result of feedback from users. Funds have been used for continuing maintenance of the ADRS system. DPS Criminal History Unit staff, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, and Maricopa County Clerk of the Superior Court can now enter disposition information via the web application. A committee of ADRS users and subject matter experts met to determine the necessary elements for XML connectivity. An IEPD was made available on CD-ROM and distributed to XML agencies. Additionally, an updated version was created after recommended changes were made that include field length changes and business specification documentation. In April 2009, the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) information technology staff deployed ADRS version 2.00.14H in the production environment. A precertification process was established with the vendor to reduce testing time with DPS. XML agencies are undergoing this process. ADRS support efforts will continue to review, test and implement upgrades in production. The support team is refining the requirements to develop, test and implement the process for logging ADRS inquiries and administrative maintenance transactions. In response to a legislative request, the capability to make information changes has been implemented. In addition to arrest information, pilot users can now enter disposition information through the web-based application. Transaction validation reports are run daily and periodic summary reports are run for volume comparison and processing details. Performance will be measured on the amount of data provided to the system, the information dissemination process, and accuracy and level of completeness in system productivity. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2009 52 Program Activity Highlights Voices from the Field: Byrne/JAG Success Stories State agencies Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) On average, the number of probationers served each quarter increased 17.5 percent in FY 2009, from an average of 3,009 per quarter in FY 2008, to an average of 3,650 per quarter in FY 2009. All required reporting forms were submitted in a timely manner. Arizona Department of Public Safety Forensics • Fifty-seven rush cases were completed within 2 – 48 hours in the first quarter to meet court or investigative deadlines. • In the second quarter, 37 rush cases were completed to meet court or investigative deadlines. • Consistently, three of the four DPS regional crime labs had backlogs that were essentially zero; only one had a backlog because personnel were in training. Arizona Attorney General's Office (AG) The Arizona Attorney General reached agreements with the Attorneys General of the Mexican states of Baja California and Sonora promising cooperation in combating the crimes of human trafficking, weapons trafficking, money laundering, and Internet crimes against children. These efforts include the exchange of criminal investigative best practices and cooperation to improve the Arizona civil forfeiture project. The Arizona Attorney General detailed Operation “En Fuego,” a long-term, multi-agency investigation that dismantled a major human smuggling operation based in Phoenix. The investigation resulted in numerous arrests and dismantled a criminal syndicate that brought in as much as $63,000 a week smuggling humans and narcotics across the Arizona-Mexico border. A yearlong, multi-agency investigation of a major drug-trafficking and criminal fraud ring called “Operation Blank Check” led to the indictment of 183 individuals and the arrest of 127. In addition to these arrests, Operation Blank Check has led to the seizure of 31 firearms; 24 vehicles; $75,000 cash; Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2009 53 Program Activity Highlights illegal drugs including ecstasy, cocaine, and marijuana; several bullet-proof vests; and fraudulent checks and equipment used to manufacture fraudulent checks. The Attorney General’s Office continues to crack down on fraudulent wire transfers and money laundering. The Financial Remedies Section resolved by settlement a case against Dr. Bruce Love, a Western Union agent whom the state alleged was engaged in money laundering in association with illegal alien smuggling. The state’s complaint against Love and various associates alleged, among other crimes, that they facilitated or directly engaged in the laundering of approximately $42.6 million. The settlement includes the forfeiture of approximately $4.2 million that had been seized from Love. The case will likely be expanded to include other individuals and corporations that participated in the laundering of the $42.6 million. In another case, a defendant was indicted for allegedly operating elaborate investment schemes that defrauded at least 42 people of more than $3 million since 2005. The numerous charges against the defendant include fraudulent schemes, securities fraud, and money laundering. The defendant, who is not licensed to sell securities, allegedly used the victims’ funds to purchase a Scottsdale condominium, luxury car, more than $150,000 in high-end jewelry, at least $30,000 in tickets for luxury seats at local sporting events and $30,000 on private jet rentals. Most of these items have been seized for forfeiture; the proceeds will be going to the victims for restitution.

ACSO made more than 100 arrests on drug-related charges. ACCENT also recovered a stolen vehicle, numerous stolen tools and other property for the local agencies and the Mesa Police Department. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement 2009 54 Program Activity Highlights Apache County Attorney's Office (ACAO) Apache County Attorney's Office assigned drug prosecutor worked closely with ACCENT to generate confidential informants who were key players in the execution of search warrants that resulted in the arrest of local methamphetamine dealers. The ACAO continues to work closely with ACCENT to bring conclusion to these and other ongoing cases. Cochise County Cochise County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) - BAG Border Alliance Group (BAG) analyst team has developed a solid networking platform with local, state, federal and international law enforcement agencies. BAG officers were successful in disrupting marijuana shipments from drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) operating along the Mexican border with Cochise County. BAG seized nearly $500,000 in proceeds from illicit drug and gang activities. BAG arrested more than 250 persons involved in drug/gang activities. Cochise County Attorney's Office (CCAO) CCAO works with BAG to convict drug offenders. CCAO more than doubled the number of indictments for violent crimes than for the same period last year. Cochise County Attorney’s Office reports their conviction rate at 86 percent on drug and violent crimes cases submitted. Coconino County Flagstaff Police Department/METRO Task Force METRO agents dismantled a local drug trafficking organization (DTO) based in Flagstaff. Numerous undercover drug purchases and surveillance efforts resulted in the arrest of three suspects for multiple sales of methamphetamine. Officers seized methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and two vehicles during this operation. Investigators served two search warrants on two heroin groups.
