Narcotics Division

The Narcotics Division work thoughout the county and often aid officers from local municipalities and effort to combat the number of drug offenders from inside and outside of the county who infiltrate our community.

Over the past year there have been 120 drug and drug-related investigations resulting in 80 offenders being arrested and eight being Federally prosecuted. A total of 20 search warrants have been served which produced $12,100 in cash, 600 grams of powder and crack cocaine, 39 pounds of marijuana, 1,223 grams of methamphetamines and dangerous drugs,129 marijuana plants, seized 24 firearms, impounded 20 vehicles (seized four of them) and $3,000 in property. Some of these operations were conducted with help from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the United States Division of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the United States Marshal Service, the Unites States Postal Inspector, and the United States Drug Enforcement Agency.

"Drug abuse impacts our society in so many negative ways, it tears families apart and usally productive citizens can turn to robbery and theft. With a small unit we have already accomplished great things in our fight to wipe out drugs"
