Due to the large quantities of controlled substance, marijuana, and dangerous drugs being delivered,
manufactured, possessed, or grown in the project's participating counties, the availability of the illegal drugs
contributes to a flourishing level of narcotics trade and a higher cdme rate. This includes addressing any
suspected terrorism activity identified.

PART 2: GOAL STATEMENT
Significantly reduce the trafficking of controlled substances, dangerous drugs, and marijuana in the project
area while supporting the local law enforcement agencies with reducing drug-related crime and address any
terror[sm matters related to homeland security.
PART 3; TARGET (~ROUP
a) Geographic Area: The project area is located in Northeast Texas and consists of Delta,
Fannin, Franklin, Hopkins, and Lamar counties. The two Northern counties
border the State of Oklahoma. The two Southern counties are situated on
Interstate 30 between Dallas and Texarkana. The five counties make up
approximately 4,736 square miles and have a population of 128,111
people. Approximately half of the populace lives in urban residential
districts. The remainder of the populace lives in the rural areas of the
counties and the economic base is primarily derived from agriculture.
b) Target Audience: The audience to be targeted consists of all the narcotics traffickers,
e~cially the [~r~lucer~ of rnethamphetamine using the Nazi Method. A
high priority emphasis will be placed on this audience to identify,
investigate, and indict all offenders whose cdminal responsibility is at issue.
Another priodty is the use of an interdiction officer/canine to interdict the
audience smuggling namotics from the Dallas/Fort Worth area by the way
of Interstate 30 to desinations in the Eastern parts of the United States. A
concerted effort will be made to heighten the awareness of national security
and response, and investigate all potential terrorist activities.
c) Gender: Male and female of the target group located in the project's area.
d) Age: The age group ranges from under 17 years of age (juveniles) to any age
over 17 years of age (adults).

4.2 DESCRIBE the activities or services your project provides as selected in 4.1.
The Red River Valley Drug Task Force will utilize these specific activities to address the trafficking of illegal
drugs in the five-county area. All investigative efforts will focus on the persons involved in the possession,
transportation, sale, manufacturing, and growing of illegal drugs. The investigative activity is fashioned to a
three-prong approach. The first prong is the ability to take information received and develop that information
into cdminal cases. The second prong is the utilization of confidential informants to make initial pumhases of
illegal drugs. From the initial purchase, the confidential informant is used to make the introduction of the
investigator to the trafficker so hand-to-hand purchases can be made. The third prong is to utilize interdiction
units to work the highways to support open investigations, or recent information circumstances. A priority will
be placed on the use of the interdiction officer/canine to interdict the person smuggling narcotics from the
Dallas/Fort Worth area by the way of Interstate 30 to destinations in the Eastern parts of the United States.
By utilizing this three-prong approach, it is the goat to reduce drug use and trade, and thus reduce violent
crimes which are consistently interrelated with drug use.
The Red River Valley Drug Task Force has a special prosecutor who aggressively prosecutes all illegal drug
traffickers under applicable state and federal laws. This includes the ability to remove any profits gained
through the civil process (seizure and forfeiture).
In order to most effectively achieve project goals, it is of the utmost importance to maintain the level of
education and knowledge of both new and experienced officers. Therefore, the task force actively engages in
available educational and training opportunities.
The Red River Valle~/Drug Task Force will provide investigative expertise, prosecutorial assistance, and
manpower to all local, state, or federal law enforcement when needed. The drug and terrorism awareness
education prcgrams are ongoing, which is kept at the forefront and is addressed daily. A concerted effort will
be made to heighten the awareness of homeland secudty and investigate all potential terrorist activities.

1. An administrative decision by the project directors of the Regional Controlled Substance Apprehension
Program and Tactical Narcotics Team was made to consolidate the two drug task forces. The consolidation
will increase the number of participating entities from six in the Regional Controlled Substance Apprehension
Program and five in the Tactical Narcotics Team to an adjusted number of eight. Three entities have elected
to withdraw their participation in the task force. Arising out of the consolidation is the new Red River Valley
Drug Task Force. The consolidation is cost-effective in the following manner:
a. The present Regional Controlled Substance Apprehension Program Commander's salary and fringe
benefits ($62,240) will be used in one of the other schedules.
b. The Texas Department of Public Safety Commander's salary and fdnge benefits ($76,896) will be used
for cash match.
c. The cell phone, pager, vehicle, and gas expense for the present Regional Controlled Substance
Apprehension Program Commander will be eliminated. The same expenses for the Texas Department of
Public Safety Commander will be paid by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
2. To eliminate a portion of the operating expense, the investigators have been instructed to travel together
in conducting task force business when leasable.
3. To eliminate a portion of the heating, cooling, and lighting expanse, all task force personnel have been
instructed on the importance of the correct setting on thermostats and turning off lights,
4. The investigators have been instructed to evaluate the payments of confidential informants in a more cost-
effective manner.
5. The investigators have been instructed to evaluate the mailing versus hand-delivery of evidence to the
laboratories.
6. Agency meetings have been cut from one a week to two a month.
7. The task force will be able to eliminate some of the pager expense due to two entities electing not to
participate.

To determine if an organization is operating effectively and efficiently, you must establsih a valid evaluation
method. The progress can be evaluated by using tw~ measures - output and outcome. Output measures
can be equated to drug enforcement as the number of cases initiated, the number of defendants arrested,
and the value of assets seized. Outcomc measum~ am the numar of defendants convicted, the value of
drugs seized, and the value of a t§ fodgit . The Red River Valley Drug Tasl rome will LltJlJ[l thi0
