SU BJ ECT:
PITTSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT SPECIAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ACCEPT report on the 1988-89 fiscal year Special Drug Enforcement Program at E1
Pueblo from Sgt. Evan Kohler, Pittsburg Police Department, and AUTHORIZE the
Executive Director of the Housing Authority to forward a letter of thanks to the
Pittsburg Police Department for their good work in implementing this Special Drug
Enforcement Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
During the 1988-89 fiscal year, the Housing Authority provided the Pittsburg
Police Department with $9,500 to continue a special drug enforcement program in the
El Pueblo community. On March 12, 1990 the Housing Authority received a report from
the Pittsburg Police Department on the results of this special enforcement program.
Sgt. Evan Kohler mentions in the cover letter of the report that it has become
increasingly difficult for the Pittsburg Narcotic Division to buy drugs and develop
enough probable cause to obtain search warrants in El Pueblo. Due to the efforts of
the E1 Pueblo security guards and the Special Drug Enforcement Program, most of the drug
activity has now moved outside of the El Pueblo development.
The report indicates that the special drug enforcement program resulted in 78
drug-related arrests by undercover officers. A total of $4,963.64 was expended for
this program from the $9,500 which the Housing Authority provided to the Pittsburg
Police Department. A check in the amount of $4,536.36 has been received by the
Housing Authority as a refund on the remaining balance of the special drug
enforcement funds and no new funding was requested.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.
