UBJECT: DESIGNATE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY AS THE BEST
COUNTY IN CALIFORNIA TO STUDY DRUG PREVENTION
AND ENFORCEMENT IN THE STATE
PECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board list as a top priority, the possibility of
having the state designate Contra Costa County as the county
most representative of the state of California and therefore
ideally suited to conduct a model program to study drug
prevention and enforcement.
That this matter be listed on the agenda of our upcoming
Drug Summit Meeting.
That our legislative representatives be invited to attend
the meeting, along with representatives from the state
Office of Criminal Justice Planning.
BACKGROUND:
The county has poor urban areas, wealthy suburbs, rural
areas and middle-class neighborhoods that mirror the state
as a whole. It also has all of the drug problems .
Our county is somewhat of a microcosm of the entire state.
Therefore it could provide a perfect setting' to look at what
would be effective and what would not be effective on
working on the drug problem.
A consorted effort has been put -in place with a team of
Contra Costa County prosecutors working side by side with
the special police task forces that have sprung up, such as
the Central, West and East County narcotics enforcement
teams . This team effort will help to provide a wealth of
information heretofore unavailable to state and local
agencies .
The state Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue
Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Customs
and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are all part
of Contra Costa County' s effort to put prosecute drug
dealers and put them behind bars.
