§41-2405(A)11 requires the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission to submit to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives an annual report on law enforcement activities funded by the Drug and Gang Enforcement Account (Account) or the Criminal Justice Enhancement Fund (CJEF) as they relate to illicit drugs and drug-related gang activity. 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 2010 (July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010), 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 Enforcem ent 2010 1 Overview Drug and Gang Enforcem ent Account Funding In FY 2010, the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission awarded a total of $17,001,667 in funds from the Drug and Gang Enforcement Account to 59 programs in the state. Of this amount, $12,633,155 was awarded in federal funds from the Justice Assistance Grant Program under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), $3,772,544 from state drug offense fines, and $595,968 in federal monies from the 2009 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant. Arizona was allocated $25,306,957 under ARRA in FY 2010 and implemented a two-year expenditure plan that would expend 50 percent of the funds in FY 2010 and the remaining 50 percent in FY 2011. The 2009 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant award was allocated to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission in addition to the ARRA monies under a formula grant. Table 1 shows program funding levels from FY 2006 to FY 2010. No ARRA monies were awarded to Arizona in FY 2006 through FY 2009. In FY 2010, funding from drug offense fines was reduced by 92 percent from FY 2009 due to budget reductions and fund balance transfers into the State General Fund. The Commission utilized ARRA funding to replace reductions in state drug offense fine monies. In addition, the Commission opted to suspend matching fund requirements in FY 2010 to ease the financial burden on state and local agencies experiencing their own budget challenges. Match funding reductions were also offset by ARRA funding. Table 1 Program Funding Levels FY 2006 - FY 2010 $13,500,000 $12,000,000 $10,500,000 $9,000,000 $7,500,000 $6,000,000 $4,500,000 $3,000,000 $1,500,000 $0 Federal Funds Fed Funds - ARRA FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 $6,527,720 $3,765,673 $4,728,038 $2,720,755 $595,968 $0 $0 $0 $0 $12,633,155 Drug Fines $5,111,170 $6,000,000 $6,107,500 $7,247,034 $3,772,544 Local Match Funds $2,175,910 $2,463,536 $2,685,264 $2,624,771 $0 Grant Awards 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 2010, the Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcem ent 2010 2 Overview Commission also approved funding for a general category, in addition to the six areas, that allowed funding for any program the federal Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program allows. These projects were classified as Priority 5 Projects. In FY 2010, 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 14 counties in Arizona and enhanced drug forfeiture case efforts through the Attorney General’s Office. During FY 2010, the strategy to improve criminal history records included systems improvement to expand automated disposition reporting, reduce arrest report backlog, retain records personnel, implement case management systems, and establish interfaces across criminal justice system boundaries. 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 projects in all 15 Arizona counties. The account also provided funding for Special Prosecution programs at the Attorney General’s Office, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, and the Pima County Attorney’s Office. Finally, account funds were granted to projects to improve case processing in County Attorney and Indigent Defense offices, address prescription drug fraud, support a drug treatment project, and fund efforts in the State Post Conviction Public Defender’s office. Table 3 displays funding awards to statewide and county projects by type of project. Table 2 below shows approved awards broken out by project type, expenditure type, and funding source. In FY 2010, direct personnel costs made up 84.5 percent of the total expenditures from the account. Also, contracting services accounted for 4.5 percent of the total awards. Equipment/supplies purchases accounted for 9 percent of the total allocation including a one-time award of $1,273,800 made to the Administrative Office of the Court (AOC), under the Adjudication projects, for court automation improvements. Other costs associated with the programs such as equipment, training, and other operating costs were also funded by the account totaling two percent of the total award. One of the main goals of ARRA was to create new jobs and save existing ones. Of the total ARRA funds allocated in FY 2010, 84.4 percent were awarded to support personnel costs and another 5.6 percent were allocated for contracting services. On average during FY 2010, 143 FTE Positions were funded through ARRA. Job types supported with ARRA funding included law enforcement, information technology, administrative support/human resources, and courts/prosecution/defense positions.

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 2010, task forces dismantled 166 DTOs, the Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcem ent 2010 7 Overview majority of which were low level organizations. Task forces also disrupted the activities of 424 DTOs in FY 2010, the majority of which were low level organizations. Drug Trafficking Organizations 282 300 123 200 92 100 Dismantled 19 62 Disrupted 12 0 Low Level Mid Level High Level Drug Removals Drug removals serve as one of many benefits provided by the work of funded task forces in Arizona. In FY 2010, task forces removed 299,912 pounds of drugs that included marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, LSD, PCP, and other hallucinogens, stimulants, and depressants. The estimated street value of these drugs is $101,281,217. Marijuana removals continue to be the focus of task forces, statewide, with over 298,000 pounds removed with an estimated street value of $83 million. Cocaine and crack removals were the second largest drug removal with 1,060 pounds and an estimated street value of $10.8 million, followed by methamphetamine at 208 pounds removed and an estimated street value of $6.3 million. Marijuana removals, although still the top drug involved in task force arrests, dropped eight percent in FY 2010 to 298,619 pounds. In FY 2009, marijuana removals had reached 325,203 pounds and this had been for fourth consecutive year that marijuana removals had increased. In addition, marijuana plants seized by task forces dropped significantly in FY 2010 from the previous fiscal year, falling 82 percent to just over 7,000 plants.

In FY 2010, 1,060 pounds of cocaine were removed from Arizona streets by task forces funded from this account.

This represents a significant reduction from the 1,118 pounds removed in FY 2009. The high number reported in FY 2009 was driven by a significant removal amount reported in the second quarter by one task force. Factoring out the unusually large removal figure in FY 2009, the drop in FY 2010 from FY 2007 and 2008 figures is still significant at over 50 percent.

For FY 2010 there were 24 percent more drug convictions than the previous fiscal year. With the exception of cocaine, convictions increased among all drug offense types from FY 2009. Heroin convictions experienced the largest increase at 53 percent, followed by marijuana convictions at 41 percent. Methamphetamine convictions increased by 23 percent in FY 2010. Cocaine convictions dropped from FY 2009 four percent. More than 51,500 drug-related cases were referred and 75 percent of these cases were concluded. Prosecutors declined 21,319 drug cases, 41 percent of the number of drug cases referred. In six percent of the drug cases referred for prosecution, offenders were deferred to drug diversion program. In 21 percent of the cases referred for prosecution the case was dismissed with or without prejudice. Of the drug cases tried in FY 2010, 99.8 percent resulted in convictions.

From April 1, 1988 through June 30, 2010, a total of $279,600,848 has been expended on criminal justice-related projects. Of this amount, $102,140,912 has been expended on apprehension programs; $94,039,591 for prosecution programs; $52,229,682 for adjudication programs; $18,587,623 on drug forensic analysis and drug offender detention programs; $2,644,136 drug prevention and education; and $9,958,904 for criminal history records improvement programs, which had its first expenditure in FY 1995. During the 22 years, apprehension program activities resulted in the arrest of 86,776 drug offense violators. Program activities were responsible for the removal of 3,858,031 pounds of marijuana; 76,250 pounds of cocaine; 6,663 pounds of amphetamine/methamphetamine; and 1,153 pounds of heroin. Drug traffickers' non-drug assets with a gross estimated value of $257,536,939 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 22 years of the enhanced drug enforcement program show that for every $1,177 expended by the apprehension program, one drug violator arrest was made, and drug traffickers were deprived of the profit from the drugs seized and also deprived of an estimated value of $2,968 in non-drug assets seized. Criminal records improvement Of the six priority areas authorized by the Commission for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, one directs funding toward the improvement of criminal history record information. 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, for running background checks required for employment, and issuing firearms permits. Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcem ent 2010 13 Overview Prevalence of Drug Activity The Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Drug Market Analysis 2010 (National Drug Intelligence Center, U.S. Department of Justice, July 2010) identifies eight of Arizona’s 15 counties as high intensity drug trafficking areas. 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 smuggled 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. The report cites trafficking and abuse of methamphetamine as the greatest threat in the Arizona HIDTA region. This is primarily due to the drug’s widespread availability and highly addictive nature. 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 cocaine and heroin are also smuggled in large quantities and seizures of these drug types have increased in 2009. 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 2010 Arizona Youth Survey (2011, Arizona Criminal Justice Commission) reveal that among 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students, the four substances that have the highest percentages of use in lifetime and the past 30-days are alcohol (58.2 percent), cigarettes (34.0 percent), marijuana (29.9 percent), and prescription drugs (21.5 percent). For illicit substances, marijuana has the highest level (29.9 percent) of reported lifetime use across all grades surveyed with 44.7 percent of Arizona 12th graders surveyed reported having used marijuana at least once in his or her lifetime. Additionally, 16.8 percent of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders report using prescription pain relievers, 12.3 percent used inhalants, 11.8 percent used over the counter drugs, 7.0 percent used ecstasy, 5.1 percent used hallucinogens, 5.0 percent used cocaine, 2.1 percent used heroin, and 1.5 percent used methamphetamines in their lifetime. The consistently high rate of marijuana use among Arizona’s youth (from 2004 – 2010 data) runs parallel to the high rate of marijuana 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 chewing tobacco, marijuana, hallucinogens, heroin, ecstasy, and over-the-counter drugs. The same can be seen for past 30-day use rates, with the exception of over the counter drugs, which has stayed the same since the 2008 survey. The largest increase can be seen in the lifetime use rates of ecstasy, which rose from 4.2 percent in 2008 to 7.0 percent in 2010.

Drug and gang apprehension task forces operated in all 15 Arizona counties. In FY 2010, arrests for marijuana accounted for the largest percentage of drug arrests. Marijuana arrests totaled 4,179 and comprised 59 percent of task force drug arrests. The largest portion of drug-related arrests was for possession/concealing, followed by distribution/sale and transportation/importation. In addition to apprehension efforts, task forces seized drugs, weapons, and assets, and disrupted or dismantled labs used in the manufacture of illegal drugs. Statewide, apprehension efforts yielded more than 298,000 pounds of marijuana; 7,045 marijuana plants; 478,000 grams of cocaine; 94,000 grams of methamphetamine or other amphetamines, as well as other dangerous narcotics and illicit prescription drugs. There were 1,170 investigations directly related to methamphetamine and two labs were seized. The estimated street value of these drug removals is $101,281,217. Task forces also seized assets of drug offenders estimated at $13 million. These assets included 909 vehicles, nearly 500 weapons (mostly firearms) and currency. In FY 2010, task forces disrupted 424 drug trafficking organizations, the majority of which were low-level street dealers. Task forces also dismantled 166 drug trafficking organizations this fiscal year, with the majority also being low-level street dealers. Collaboration and coordination are also components of task force projects. In FY 2010, task forces participated in 820 collaborative investigations that resulted in 633 arrests with 540 of these involving drug seizures. In 342 cases tips or leads were shared among task forces and there were 930 instances of drug interdiction activity assists. Also, task forces contacted Child Protective Services 61 times to make drug-endangered child referrals.

Objective To reduce or disrupt the flow of illicit drugs used, imported, transported, and sold in the community. Activity Sum m ary During FY 2010 ACCENT officers made 151 drug-related arrests. Nearly half (75 or 49.67 percent) were for the offense possession/concealing drugs. Another 30.46 percent were for transportation/importation. There were 88 (58.28 percent) for marijuana and 40 (26.49 percent) for methamphetamine/amphetamine. ACCENT disrupted or dismantled 54 DTOs, served 25 search warrants, seized six vehicles, six weapons and currency. The value of assets and currency seized totaled $1,090,229 dollars. P rogram Highlights K-9 and handler are responsible for seizing multiple drug loads that include a cable van containing 336 pounds of cocaine, a semi truck containing 6,500 pounds of marijuana, another semi truck containing 500 pounds of marijuana and numerous vehicles with hundreds of pounds of drugs worth millions of dollars. ACCENT has strengthened cooperative relationships with the Navajo Nation. ACCENT and Navajo Nation work hand in hand with their respective K-9 units. ACCENT has put on numerous educational presentations and continues to work with the Apache County Drug Coalition to address substance abuse. ACCENT arrested a San Francisco County Deputy Sheriff who was found to be using his credentials and uniform to transport hydroponic marijuana from California to Texas and arrested a Fresno Juvenile Probation Officer transporting hydroponic marijuana from California to New Mexico. ACCENT arrested a gang member from Illinois wanted for double homicide who fled to Arizona.

The Border Alliance Group (BAG) is a multiagency drug enforcement task force involving federal, state and local agencies. BAG is formally organized to identify, arrest and refer drug traffickers for prosecution. Task Force P articipants Cochise County Sheriff's Office, Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Arizona Department of Public Safety, Tombstone Marshal’s Office, U.S. Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Arizona Army National Guard, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Park Police and the Cochise County Attorney’s Office. Objective To reduce or disrupt the flow of illicit drugs imported, transported, and sold in the community and strengthen collaborative partnerships between federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies. Activity Sum m ary BAG officers conducted 740 drug related arrests, with 313 (42.3 percent) for the offense of possession/concealing and another 108 (14.59 percent) for transportation/importation. BAG officers served 23 search warrants, conducted intelligence driven investigations that resulted in 60 arrests, and provided or gained assistance in 134 drug interdiction activities. The majority of drug arrests (279 or 37.7 percent) were for marijuana. Officers seized seven marijuana grows, 185 vehicles and 9 weapons as well as currency. Value of assets and currency seized totaled $805,590. P rogram Highlights BAG hosts bi-monthly intelligence meetings averaging 20 participants from federal, state, and local agencies. BAG, in collaboration with DEA, disrupted a large international DTO responsible for the annual transportation of several thousand pounds of marijuana into and throughout the United States. Disruption included the seizure of three individual bulk marijuana loads totaling 750 pounds destined for Tucson. Three suspects were arrested. Significant intelligence into the inner operation of the DTO was gleaned from these suspects. BAG, in collaboration with DEA and West Virginia State Police, disrupted an international/multi-state DTO with known connections in four states. Originating in Cochise County, a controlled delivery of 155 pounds of marijuana was transported to West Virginia. As a result, two members of the DTO were arrested.

P rogram Highlights CNA detectives working a drug-related home invasion that involved in the shooting of a 15-year-old girl initiated an emergency Title 3 wire investigation. Through intelligence gathered by CNA analysts and knowledge of previous criminal activities, it was determined that the invasion was conducted by member of a local gang known to be involved for many years with illegal drug sales, distribution, and trafficking. CNA worked with TPD to undertake an undercover investigation and arrest the individuals responsible for this violent crime and disrupt their illegal drug activities. Command staff has reviewed and identified new methods of improving relationships with other agencies, both internally and externally. New techniques will be utilized and explored. These new techniques are expected to broaden collaborative efforts and share support with local, state, and federal law enforcement partners.

The La Paz County Narcotics Task Force (LPCNTF) operates in La Paz County and along the Colorado River in western Arizona to identify, arrest and prosecute drug traffickers and seize illicit drugs, drug law violators' assets for forfeiture. The task force coordinates many regional activities with the YCNTF, MAGNET and Prescott Area Narcotics Task Forces. Task Force P articipants La Paz County Sheriff's Office, Arizona Department of Public Safety, Parker Police Department, Quartzsite Police Department, Drug Enforcement Agency, and the La Paz County Attorney’s Office. Objective To disrupt and reduce the distribution and sale of illicit drugs, including methamphetamine, money laundering and criminal gang activity in La Paz County. Activity Sum m ary During FY 2010, LPCNTF made 45 drug-related arrests. Of those 17 (37.78 percent) were for methamphetamine/amphetamine offenses and 10 (22.22 percent) were for marijuana. Across drug offense types, most (24) of the 45 arrests were for transporting/importing (53.33 percent) and another 16 (35.56 percent) were for the distribution/sale of drugs. LPCNTF officers disrupted or dismantled 13 DTOs, seized 28 vehicles, served six search warrants, seized one handgun, and removed more than $5 million worth of drugs from the streets of the community. P rogram Highlights LPCNTF signed an IGA with the Colorado River Indian Tribe allowing task force officers entry and investigation within the reservation boundaries and strengthening partnerships with tribal law enforcement. LPCNTF dismantled two DTOs responsible for distribution large amounts of methamphetamine from the Phoenix area into La Paz County. Task force personnel also interdicted two separate loads of cocaine from two large Mexican drug cartels totaling approximately 100 pounds. LPCNTF, in collaboration with the Colorado River Indian Tribe (CRIT), completed their first narcotic “arrest round up.” This detail removed five major drug dealers in the Parker Valley area considered “untouchable” for several years that had been selling several pounds of methamphetamine weekly to citizens in La Paz County and eastern California.

Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking (PANT) is a formally organized, multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency task force operating in Yavapai County to identify, arrest and prosecute drug traffickers, seize drugs and cash assets, and conduct multi-level narcotics enforcement and investigative activities. Task Force P articipants Sedona Police Department, Arizona Department of Public Safety, Camp Verde Marshal’s Office, Chino Valley Police Department, Clarkdale Police Department, Cottonwood Police Department, Prescott Police Department, Prescott Valley Police Department, Yavapai-Apache Tribal Police Department, Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, and the Yavapai County Attorney. Objective To minimize the flow of illegal drugs into and within Yavapai County by identifying, investigating, arresting, and prosecuting individuals involved in the cultivation, manufacture, sale or distribution of narcotics, dangerous drugs or criminal gang activity in Yavapai County. Activity Sum m ary During FY 2010 PANT officers made 290 drug related arrests. Of those arrests, 123 (42.41 percent) were for possession/concealing and another 121 (41.72 percent) were for distribution/sale of drugs. There were 136 arrests (46.9 percent) for marijuana and 116 (40 percent) for methamphetamine/amphetamine. Officers removed more than 1,100 pounds of marijuana, more than 400 grams of methamphetamine and various amounts of other drugs including hallucinogens and other narcotic drugs. The total estimated value of drugs removed exceeded $5.6 million. In addition, officers seized 14 vehicles, 127 weapons, and currency and assets exceeding $211,000. PANT conducted 149 methamphetamine investigations, 402 collaborative intelligence driven investigations, and served 127 search warrants. Task force officers disrupted or dismantled 36 DTOs and seized 17 marijuana grow sites. P rogram Highlights PANT has reportedly increased marijuana investigations by more than 180 percent over the prior fiscal year. Efforts have disrupted/dismantled DTOs involving marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and other drugs, many of which are linked to criminal activity in other counties and other states. PANT detectives were successful in infiltrating an ecstasy ring and apprehended suspects upon delivery of ecstasy to a local casino. Approximately 200 ecstasy pills were seized. A three-month investigation led to a large-scale marijuana grow in which approximately 650 plants were seized. By PANT detectives shutting down this operation, it prevented approximately $1.5 million worth of high grade "chronic" marijuana being introduced to the streets.

The unit prosecutes Coconino County drug and gang cases and provides civil forfeiture litigation services to the task force and other agencies. Objective To conduct swift, effective and vigorous prosecution of drug transporters, suppliers, dealers, manufacturers and other drug related crimes through a sustained, coordinated multi-agency effort as part of the Northern Arizona Street Crimes Task Force Metro Unit. Activity Sum m ary Efforts of the program have resulted in a total of 348 convictions. Of the 348, 297 were drug-related with the remaining 51 classified as non-drug related, violent offenses. Fifty-five percent of drug convictions were classified as misdemeanor, 34 percent as felony and the remainder as undesignated and/or unknown. Seventyeight percent of drug convictions were on charges of possession/concealing and 12 percent were on charges of transportation/importation. Fifty-four percent of drug convictions involved paraphernalia, 26 percent involved marijuana/cannabis and 10 percent involved methamphetamine/amphetamine. Of a total 279 persons receiving a sentence for a drug offense, 40 percent received probation, 17 percent a prison sentence, 17 percent a split sentence, 13 percent fines, and 10 percent a jail sentence. The sentence type is reported as unknown for eight individuals. Coconino County’s tandem prosecution efforts yielded a value of $2,262,033 in forfeited assets for the FY2010 program year. There were a total of 395 drug related task force investigation assists, 39 search warrant assists and 18 drug related investigation assists resulting in charges filed. Fulfilled at 100 percent, the program received 125 legal advice requests. P rogram Highlights The program coordinated the prosecution of a major drug ring initiated through the Arizona Department of Public Safety, involving multi-jurisdictional partners. Among FY 2010 reported accomplishments, tandem prosecution efforts resulted in sentencing a local heroin dealer to a 13-year prison term and settling an ongoing methamphetamine related case with a guilty plea and a prison sentence of 9.25 years. The prosecutor assigned to the Northern Arizona Street Crimes Task Force Metro Unit spends one day a week in a satellite office located in the law enforcement building. This strategy has created easy access to legal assistance and allows for the facilitation of questions from Metro Unit agents. In addition, the assigned Metro Unit prosecutor worked with the Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission Task Force to assist in the direction of investigations and to provide training on investigation tools. In refining processes related to forfeiture cases, the program experienced an increase in overall seizure of related property in the possession of the drug transporter in addition to more timely and accurate adherence to time lines for filing forfeiture-related cases. This enhancement to the process has also increased cooperation and relationships with the law enforcement agencies involved in the seizures.

Tandem prosecution efforts have resulted in a total value of $33,482 in forfeited assets for the FY 2010 program period. P rogram Highlights The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funding has allowed for retention of a full-time drug prosecutor. The Gila County Drug Prosecution and Asset Forfeiture Program has increased the number of filings of drugrelated crime for the FY 2010 program year. The process of review for pending cases has been improved. The adjustment in the review and charging process has resulted in drug cases being referred to diversion, charged as misdemeanors or presented to the grand jury a minimum of 30 days sooner than in the previous process. As a result, the program has placed emphasis on continuing education and training for law enforcement agencies. Enhancing management of forfeiture cases, a review by an attorney is conducted on all cases pending with assets that have not been liquidated. The media campaign on drug and violent crime awareness and prevention was extended. Prevention awareness campaign efforts continued in the school environment. In engaging youth and bringing awareness to the larger community, strategies included a student contest and production of calendar featuring prevention messaging. In addition, there was a continuation of public service announcements.

The DPS and Tucson crime labs receive requests for the processing of drug-related forensic tests and examinations from around the state and in the Tucson metropolitan area. The labs receive samples for forensic analysis from municipal, county, state, and federal agencies. Forensic analysis activities support task force operations and prosecutorial efforts. Objective To provide timely and accurate forensic analysis processing to aid in the apprehension and prosecution of drug offenders. Activity Sum m ary Crime lab activities included forensic drug analyses for the identification of drugs and clandestine drug lab operations, comprehensive latent print identification of drug users and traffickers, and expert testimony in court regarding the scientific findings. During FY 2010 analysts completed 29,234 analysis reports. Crime labs received 11,814 samples for analysis during this time period. There were 83 staff full time equivalents (FTEs) devoted to drug analysis and the average processing time from receipt of sample to reporting analysis results was 37.5 days. The average cost to analyze each sample was $131.81. Crime lab personnel also provided expert testimony in court 209 times, which is just fewer (.02 percent less) than FY 2009. Through samples analyzed, chemists identified cannabis in 15,802, a 5.21 percent increase from FY 2009, and the most common drug identified. Methamphetamine was identified 5,326 times, an increase of 1.87 percent from FY 2009, and cocaine was identified in 3,286 samples, a decrease of 5.93 percent. P rogram Highlights Crime lab personnel continue to maintain positive collaborative relationships with law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies and provide drug field test training. The goal of two field test classes per quarter was exceeded and 18 classes were held by DPS lab personnel, six for marijuana identification and 12 for powder identification (cocaine and methamphetamine). Goals to reduce backlogged cases for processing or prevent increased backlogs have been met despite heavy workloads and position vacancies. Numerous cases requiring rushed processing were completed each quarter, often in one day. Goals for processing within tight timeframes were achieved and frequently exceeded.

P roject Description The DPS Crime Laboratory program provides identification of drugs, comprehensive latent print identification, and expert testimony regarding the scientific findings. 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 to process drug related forensic tests and examinations for law enforcement agencies throughout the state. Activity Sum m ary During FY 2010 the DPS Crime Lab received 11,197 forensic analysis requests, nearly 1,300 of which were for drug and gang task forces. Of the 28,617 drug types analyzed, the majority (14,901 or 52.07 percent) were identified as marijuana or cannabis. Methamphetamines were identified 5,175 times (18.08 percent). Cocaine (crack or powder) was identified 2,619 times and prescription drugs were identified 1,613 times. Goals to reduce backlogged cases for processing or prevent increased backlogs have been met despite heavy workloads and position vacancies. Numerous cases requiring rushed processing were completed each quarter, often in one day. Goals for processing within tight timeframes were achieved and frequently exceeded. P rogram Highlights The DPS Crime Lab System analyzed four cases of plant material purported to be a marijuana substitute. The material sold on the street as “K-2” or “Spice” is supposed to contain a synthetic of THC compound (THC is the active ingredient of marijuana). Analysis has shown the presence of some THC related compounds, but not ones definitely linked with drug activity. The activity of these synthetic compounds is unknown. None of the compounds identified are controlled under Arizona or federal drug statutes. DPS lab personnel provide drug field test training for law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies. They have exceeded the goal of two classes per quarter by conducting a total of 18 classes, six for marijuana identification and 12 for powder identification (cocaine and methamphetamine).

P roject Description This project is administered by the Tempe Municipal Court with participation by Tempe City Prosecutor’s Office, Tempe Police Department, Tempe Social Services Department, the Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), and local Public Defender Offices. Project is to develop and complete a Prosecutor Module that will integrate with the Court’s Case Management System (CMS). This integration effort would facilitate electronic transmission of data from the court and prosecutor to the Arizona Disposition Reporting System (ADRS). Activity Sum m ary During FY 2010 the coding of functional specifications were completed for the Long Form Complaint screen, Case Party Inquiry screen, and Charge Update screen. The Long Form Complaint screen allows prosecutors to file new complaints electronically with the Court. Testing and defect resolution of long form complaints are near completion. The Case Party Inquiry screen allows prosecutors to locate the defendant, charge, and case information for further processing. The Charge Update Screen allows prosecutors to modify information prior to formal filing. The project team completed and implemented the Prosecutor Module at the close of Calendar Year 2010 and is now in a previously agreed to 45-day warranty period. Prosecutors can enter and file Long Form Complaints electronically (formerly a paper process). Prosecutors are able to conduct their business in the module prior to potentially filing a case with the court. Such work is not visible to court staff until a formal filing has occurred. Additionally, prosecutors can file subsequent motions electronically and update certain dispositions after a case has been initiated. P rogram Highlights The Prosecutor Module is in a warranty period to ensure proper user training, functionality and interoperability between the Prosecutor's Office and the Tempe Municipal Court. Design modifications are being synchronized and project is implemented.
