FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
Introduced April 26, 1988 Costa
DATE: for Board Action May 3 , 1988 County
SUBJECT: CONCEPT OF EXPANDING C-NET PROGRAM TO EAST CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Direct the County Administrator' s
office to review the concept of expanding the C-NET Program to East
Contra Costa County, the establishment of two additional sheriff
deputy positions to be assigned to this program and the means
available to upgrade the capability of the crime lab and District
Attorney' s office to handle the increase in drug enforcement cases.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: We appear to be taking major loses
in the "War on Drugs." We need to complete the regional efforts begun
in Contra Costa County with Central County C-NET and it' s expansion to
West County. To fully defend our citizens against the ravages of
drug dealing and drug abuse, we must expand to East Contra Costa.
I recently initiated some discussions on this matter with
police officials in East Contra Costa County. I subsequently attended
a meeting organized by Antioch Police Chief Len Herendeen and which
included Brentwood Chief Jim Frank, Pittsburg Chief Len Castiglione,
Sheriff Rainey, representatives from the State Bureau of Narcotics
Enforcement and several other law enforcement officials.
One potential source for part of the financing for these
needed services could be the special tax areas for police services.
One area of protection that must be provided to our new neighborhoods
and all our communities is protection from the devastating impacts of
those who are peddling death in our communities.
