DATE: March 26, 1986 Coufty
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 3734 (Harris)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 3734 by Assemblyman Harris.
BACKGROUND:
Under existing law, there is a two-year pilot project in Alameda
County known as the Targeted Urban Crime Narcotics Task Force.
Contra Costa County attempted to get added to the Alameda County
project last year, but was unsuccessful in doing so.
Assemblyman Harris has now introduced AB 3734 which establishes
ten ( 10) special task forces for drug-related crimes, to be
funded for three years. The purpose of the task forces is to
enhance. law ,enforcement for drug-related crimes by coordinating
activities against drug traffickers; enhancing drug law
enforcement by providing training for peace officers;
facilitating the exchange of information among local law
enforcement agencies; establishing an areawide intelligence
system on drug activity; providing additional manpower and
equipment to law enforcement agencies, and related activities.
Each task force is to consist of a narcotics supervisor, seven
investigators, one prosecutor, and other support staff. The bill
intends to appropriate funds for the purpose of the task forces,
although no dollar amount is specified at this time.
Because of the possibility that Contra Costa County could be
designated as one of the ten sites, the Sheriff has recommended
that the Board endorse AB 3734 and this office concurs in that
recommendation.
