<br /> <br />The measurable goals of the project include the following: the number of <br />drug buys made, the number of defendants, the number of arrests, the number <br />and amount of seizures, and the reduction of violent crime incidents. In the <br />year immediately preceding the grant year, the task force was involved in 307 <br />drug buys involving 251 defendants. Thirty-one (31) seizures were filed and <br />$105,000.00 in assets were forfeited to the task force during that period. <br />Violent crime went down 17.4%. <br /> <br />So far this year, 153 drug cases have been made from involving 117 <br />defendants. Sixteen (16) seizures have been filed on assets worth <br />approximately $17,908.00. By the end of the year, we anticipate that <br />additional defendants will be arrested and $30,000.00 in assets forfeited. <br />The conviction rate on defendants is expected to remain at 100% (Violent <br />crime rate figures are not yet available). <br /> <br />The task force is governed by a Board of Directors which should meet <br />quarterly to discuss the current narcotics trends and to identify problem <br />areas. The board will review the measurable activities of the project to <br />determine if the quarterly goals are being met and to decide what changes, if <br />any, to make in order to have a more successful project. The commander will <br />report to the board on the activities of the different agents to insure that <br />they receive proper training, supervision, and that they continue working to <br />accomplish the project's goals. <br /> <br />The board will also meet to determine whether the project duplicates, <br />overlaps, or conflicts with other related projects so that task force <br />priorities can be reorganized if necessary so that manpower and funds are not <br />wasted. So far, there has been no such duplication or conflict. <br />
