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