Equipment - Travel Expenses - $2,600: Included within the travel fund are expenses for transportatidn to and from Narcotics Seminars and Conventions, also expenses incurred in atten~in~ local 'liaison meetings. It h~s been the experience of the Or~u]ge County Narcotics Index that a .good rapport must be maintained among narcotics officers throughout the State. This rapport is also essential in the exchange of intelligence information. q]le narcotic user knows no jurisdictional boundaries and therefore th~ most effective means of apprehending the offender is by complete juris- dictional cooperation of the n~'ircotic officers. By attending Narcotics Seminars mid Conference SchooIB ahd 'Intel] igence ]n~etings, person-to- person contact with fellow narcotics officers has proven this type of jurisdictional c6operation to be an extremely valuable aid in the forcea~cnt of 'the narcotic laws. Funds allocated for travel will be used for the seven member Index F~xecutive Co~r~ittee. $11,150. The purchasing of equipment will utilize the existin~ procedure of the Santa Ana Police Department. A request for' equip)~ent will be made to the purch~s- iug agent who will in tu~ request a mini~m~ of 3 bids from vendors and the low bid will be accepted, except for very minor i{etl~s, where a direct buy procedure is utilized, and those items covered u~d~r contracts already ].et trader approved competitive bid prozeduros. Filing Cabinet - $200: One metal four-drm~r, S x 8 card file, 18" x S2"x 36" w/special lock at $200. This request is'based on increased imput of data into the Index by .member agencies~ The addition of one filing cabinet will provide the needed expansiml room. Cabinet: One metal convertible cabinet with sliding doors, 60" x 19 3/4" x 29" at $200. This request is based on the need for addition- al storage space of st~plies. The top of the cabinet will be used as a %~rk area for the Analyst. Vehicles: The projectproposes the purchase of one vehicle - $3,500. a) One B1 Camino pick-up,.VS, automatic (70-73) with air Conditioning $3,s00. The cost of this vehicle represents .retail price. The vehicles purchased by departments are normally 4-door sedans, plain, and to the drug world, readily recognizable as undercover police vehicles. The vehicle p~opOsed for this project, represents a drastic change in the image directed at preventing dc-tection as a police vehicle, and %~ill supplement the Orange County Narcotic Task Force operation by providing an additional snrv¢ill~ce vehicle for the gatheri~ of Narcotic Intelligence information. The vehicle chosen represents (generally) the type of vehicle used by a large portion of today's society% and its styling with minor modifications provides addi- tional means of avoiding detection so necessary in the collection of intelligence information. This vehicle may fnrther be disguised bY placing it~l~s in its bed .to con~letely dissociate it from the police atmosphere. (i.e., swimming pool cleaning materials, lm~n maintenance equipment, motortycle, etc.) Such a vehicle would give narcotic officers a valuable and versatile tool in entering various geographical areas of Orange County. b) Intelligence/Surveillance Units - ~.;o (2) 'at $2500 = $5000. This complete ~mit allo~,~s for recording, monitoring and co~.munication between officers s~.~,ultaneously. For ob~ous reasons, tn~s t~pe of equipment is an essential part of [m operation of this type. This complete ~mit allo~'s for the mmximum amount of protection one can provide to an under~over agent' While he is operating within group of narcotic suspects. The surveillance officers will be able to monitor the conversations of the underco~3er agent and the suspects and thus insure the safety of the agent in this t>"pe si'tuation. These units will augment' the existing hardware of the Index. In order to provide adequate con~nunications between surveillance officers, a mobile radio will be necessary for the above mentioned vehicle. The current cost of mobile radios by Orange County is $1600 each. d) A 'special micropho]!e mid speaker will be installed in the vehicle at a total cost of $1S0. e) In order to insure the utmost in semmity during a narcotics trans- action, it is believed that a $crmublor radio receiver adapter should be installed in the undercover vehicle. It.is the experience of the Orange County Narcotics Task Force, that persons involved in major operations of drug trafficking, are aware of the police frequencies · and monitor such frequencies for their security of operations. ~e total cost of this Scrambler will be $500.00. Supplies - $52,020. 1. Office Expenses - $1~496. a} ~e estimated supplies expense to sufficiently supply an office of four persons 'for a month is $60 or $720 per year. This is to include envelopes, file folders, pens, pencils, desk trays, tablets, scratch pads, waste baskets, etc.. Prices are based on the City of Santa Ana purchasing figures. h) Duplicating expenses will be paid to the Santa Ana Police Department in the amount of $S76 per year. This will allow the Narcotic Index Office unl~nited use of the Police Deparmaent duplicating services and supplies. c) Postage expense is estimated to be $200 per year and will be neces- sary to cover the ~ailing of data to agencies concerned. Office Communications - $1,200. The use of four telephone lines are necessary for the operation of the Narcotics Index Office, at a monthly cost of $25 a month for the four phone lines, or $300 a year. In addition, it is estimated' that neces- sary long distance phone charges will exist in the mmount of $75 per month or $900 per year. The total office con~lunications expense is estimated to be $1,200 for the year,- · .. . Vehicle ~.~intenance- $2,544. .' .... The Index vehicles are utilized by' the member agencies of ~h~ Oi'ange County Narcotic /ask Force, and as done with their cxistipg vehicleS, they are refueled by the ~'.~ u.,~],o , ~.~ncy. }~intenance, however, is con- trolled by the Narcotics Index Coordinator ond it is cstim, atcd that '~' ,,~100 per this will amount to $350 per vehicle p~r yea~' and totaling year for the six vehicles. a) Although member agencys fuel the Index vehicles while using them on investigations there are occasions when the vehicles are returned with less than a full tank. To assure that all Index vehicles are ready for £n,~edi. ate use and completely fueled $444 should be authori- ed :for gasolin~~. for the vehicles. 1,000 gals. 8 44.4¢ (Santa Aha City price) per gallon = $444. 4. Confidential Expenditures Expense.- $46,780. a) I~rchase of Evidence & Informant Sezvices - $39,800. b) The Task Force officers are allocated monies for the purpose of purchasing evidence. Funds for the purchase of .evidence is an absolute necessity in the enforcement of the narcotic laws of this state. The Courts of California have clearly stated that a minim~n of three {3) purchases must be made from an individual to reasonably indicate this person is a dealer of narcotics. Ail monies used for this purpose are accounted for by the present L.E.A.A. procedure, The Task Force officers are allocated monies to purchase infor- mation from informants pertaining to Task Force investigations and the gatherialg of intelligence data. All monies used for the purchase of ~nformatioh are accounted for by the present L.B.A.A. procedures. Investigative Needs & Travel - $6,980. Various areas within the County of Orange are tourist'attractions; there are an oven~helming number of motels and hotels located in all parts of the County, me, ky of which are u.ti]~i%ed by traffickers to consl~mate their transactions. Therefore, it is a necessity .that law enforcement also be able t~o rent this type accon~nod~ation in order to surveill the trafficker and Obtain ti~e necessary evi- 'donee in order to sustain a successful conviction. It ~is also important in so,ne ci%cu~n~stances that Task Force officers be able on short notice to rent a vehicle with which to perfo~n a surveil~ lance on tailing of a suspect(s). These vehicles will be rented from available con,mercial sources, within tho County when needed. Those persons with experience in the field of buying narcotics and dnkgs can substantiate the fact that on many occasions the trafficker does not always possess the drugs or narcotics in his residence or within his vehicle, but must, as a security precau- tion to his business, secrete the contraband in another residence rented only for that purpos, e. On many occasions the drugs or narcotics to.be sold can actually be located outside the ~fnysical boundaries that determine the jur~sdictim~ of one agency from ~other. Thi~ type activity therefore, requires traveling some distances within ~ county or in other cases, outside of the county in order to bring the purchase of the dru~s or narcotics, arrest of the suspects, and successful prosecutim~ to an end. Through jurisdictional cooperation, which already exists in the County of Orange, Some of this problem is cirmm~vented. However with the approval of this grant, funds will be available to travel into other jurisdictions and conduct the necessary surveillances a~]d provide the proper security measures to tmdercover officers while they arc traveling to make large purchases of dn~gs or narcotics. 1 '~'~ 2n d ~r¢ rd 95 , 999 4th 5th fi'th 7th 8th 9 th lO~h llth 100% 9O% 85,333 74,666 64,000 53,333 60~ 4 2 '2 i' 21,333 I 1 i' 10,667 I,-0- 30% 2O% 10% 30.

Problem Statement Per ~he Region T CCCJ~ 1973 Regional Plan~ Orange County has the most severe drug abuse problems of any County in the State. In th~s County, drug oriented problems relate to approximately 40~ ' of ali. major crimes committed. For this reason this category of 5rug abuse has been assigned the top priority in Region:T (Orange County's CCCJ des!gnat$on) problem planning and priority. A comprehensive fully-integrated effort is necessary in order to solve this very serious problem. The severity of the drug abuse problem in Orange County is indJcate~ below: (1979 statistics nor available at time proposal prepared.) 1) Orange County's 23 polic~ agencies ma~e a total of 14,351 narcotics arrests in 1971~ an increase of 782 over the previous year. This represents an increase of 3~, compared with a Statewide ~ecrease of 6.3~ (figure 3). in 1970~ 53~ of al!. adult felony eases arrested in the County were for narcotics misuse. 3) 4)' Arrests constitute only a small portion of the total drug abuse D~oble ....

Over 27~ of total drug arrests in'valve persons under 1.8 years of age. More than 400 secondary school, students were ex~elled during thc 1970-71 school year for. drug abuse offenses (Figure 2_'). Th~s ~s of even greater significence when Jt is noted, fiz'st~ that only a small fracCioa (].0~) of those :invo!ved.w:ith di'u~s are identJ.:~ie{~. Combining the above percentages indicates that the 400 students expel!cd for c]rug offenses constitutes only 9~ of the to~al est~r.,sted m~mber of users.' This'figure is calculated ss 447~4~, which is in remarkable agreement with the figure of 45,000 pre-. se:~ted Jn (3) above .as that indicated by independent surveys. 5) Mo}~e th,':~n 1~2C. 0 patients f~*op Oran[~e Courd:y a.re admitted annually to Hetropolit~n Sta'te l[os!x~tal for wi-hhdraws! detoxification 'treatment.

Unfortunately, actual drug abuse among juveniles is apparently continuing to soar. County education specialist state that ¥~ithin the public school system~ of 521 schools with 450,000 students there is s high rate of involvement in drugs. They estimate that 50~ to bf all high school students have experimented with mariju~na~ with 90~ becoming users. Involvement in j~nior high school in between 7[~ to !4~ with 6[~ to 10~ using frequently. Usage · n elementary schools ~s esozma~ed at ~/a to 7~, .~mth ~/~ be- . . coming users, During the 1970-71 school year, 400 high school students were expelled for ~]~ug abuse offenses.. This figure is highly significant~ since only'.l/3 of th~ h~gh schools expel for these offenses and only 10[~ of the .school. age users ~re iSentified. It appears that arrests may have hit a "ceiling"~ or a 'maximum number of arrests possible using current law enforcement resources, w~ile ~ctual drug abuse continues to increase. The problem of drug abuse results ir~ many eases with victims suffering monetary loss. Drug abuse contributes to the cost spiral in three ways: (1) the human cost of people (e~pecially juveniles) victimized by drugs~ (2) dollar cost of arrests, trials, etc.; (3) burglaries and thefts by drmg abusers. Il-1 1970, Orange County was the only major county in the 'State where the felony 5rug arrest rate was higher 'than the non-drug arrest rate. The felony 5rug arrest rate was the highest of the major countles and far exceeded the State-wi~e rate, The rate of abuse wes 5~J7.3 per 100,000 populatJ, on~ or,3~. Although the percentage increase is not as great as in. previous yaar. s., ~]r~g arrests are still on the rise.' The Orange County Drug and Narcotic Task Force was fount]ed in November, 1970. The narcotic details' of 22 municipal po!i. ce departme~bs in.Orange County are members a'~ well as the She~iff's Department, and the State Bu'reau.df Narcotic Enforcement Department of Justice), Other members include the Orange County Harbor Patrol, Orange County Airport Security and the Orange Ccm~ty Probation Department.. Close liaison ls mainta~[ru~d by the Task ]?oreo Coordinator with all o[' Chase agencies as well as law enforcement agencies throughout the Southern Cali['ornia area. Through the elimination of dupli- ca'tion of effort and the pro~oting of C~ood w]l! among thc narcotic officers from each of these agencies~ the Task Fo.ree has made remark~b!e progress toward the ulti~,ate goal of moving the narco'[-~c trafficker from the commun]'ty.

To use the grant strictly to provide support services for the law enforcement agencies in Orange County; Rejected because although highly needed, the approach would do nothing to impact the line functions of, the law enforce- ment agencies and would provide only a partial solution to the problem. 5) To use the grant to create a "super Task Force" of desig- nated officers.in Orange County that would have orisJ.nal jurisdiction o~?r all or selected mr~jor narcotic invest:[- gations.
