COMMUNITY PLANNING PROCESS : In the space allotted, briefly describe how you have incorporated the four minimum planning elements required by DCSIP into your planning process. You may use a second page, if necessary, but the four sections must clearly be labeled on each page. In the Assessment Section, list the top three priorities identified through your planning process. See the application instructions for further details. Assessment Priority One: A more effective and efficient law enforcement approach to the drug problem in Weld County. Approximately 7 years ago the Law Enforcement community got together to address the drug problem in each of the individual cities and Weld County in general. The general consensus was that the law enforcement community was not working together as a team regarding investigating and passing information relating to drug problems. As a result of their efforts the idea of a multi -jurisdictional Task Force was selected to be used in a community planning process to combat the increase use of drugs in Weld County. Priority Two: Identify "at risk youths" and develop a plan to reduce the risk factors. Although the Task Force was the answer to the pursuit of reducing criminal portions of the drug problem, several leaders in the Weld County Communities saw the need of addressing the drug problems from other points of view. The City of Greeley developed a plan that focused on the "at risk youths" in the city. The City embraced this concept and started several programs designed to confront the issues of drug use by youths. Input from the community was solicited by neighborhood surveys, communities meetings, local news papers and radio station. Priority Three: The handling of the drug offenders in the judicial system. The District Attorney's office approached this problem by treating the drug users differently than the drug dealers. The philosophy of the DA is to punish the drug dealer and to attempt to rehabilitate the drug user. 370571 1997 DCSIP Application PART A - GENERAL INFORMATION AssetslRisk & Protective(Resiliency) Factors Priority One: A more effective and efficient law enforcement approach to the drug problem in Weld County. In 1990 the first multi -jurisdictional Task Force was created. The Task Force was the best way to consolidate the resources of several agencies, allowing the law enforcement community to address the drug problem in Weld County more effectively and efficiently. The Weld County Task Force assessed the need of providing training and support to law enforcement, schools, and civic organizations, along with the enforcement of the criminal aspects of the drug problem. As an example the members of the task force, including the Deputy DA assigned to the task force, have all be involved in providing training for all the law enforcement communities in Weld, several of the schools and civic organizations. Priority Two: Identify "at risk youths" and develop a plan to reduce the risk factors. As a result of the information gathered, the "Community Outreach Program" (C.O.P.) was created and implemented. The "C.O.P." project combined the resources of the Police Department, Parks & Recreational Department, and the Youth Initiative Director. After researching and receiving information from several neighborhoods in the city, a location for the first C.O.P. off site was selected. Once again a survey was conducted and information was gathered from the local residents regarding their needs and problems encountered in their neighborhood. As a result of the information accumulated, several new programs were started. The , following is a brief list of some of these programs: 1. After school tutoring for the children. UNC and the local school district help provide tutors for the children. ( This project was developed by the Youth Initiative Director.) 2. English classes for the adults. 3. neighborhood awareness and clean up days were scheduled. ( local trash service helped move and dispose of the waste.) 4. Organized sports activities were developed and sponsored by the city. 5. The city bus system was used to help transport children in the neighborhood to "day trips " to such locations as the Denver Zoo. Note: The Police Department and the local school district also support programs such as D.A.R.E. and G.R.E.A.T., and the neighborhood watch program. Priority Three: The handling of the drug offenders in the judicial system. In a concerted effort the judicial system agreed that drug users should be handled differently than the drug dealers and the following plan was established. The Drug Court was established that monitored the "user" defendants for one year. During the one year period the "user" defendant under goes drug therapy and random urinalysis. If the Defendant successfully completes the program, the case 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART A - GENERAL INFORMATION against the defendant is dismissed. In contrast, the "dealer" defendant os offered no consideration and faces the full wrath of the law. Benchmarks Priority One: A more effective and efficient law enforcement approach to the drug problem in Weld County. Information needed to evaluate the program include; the number of arrests, prior criminal history information, criminal disposition, financial information regarding monies expended for undercover drug operations, and the financial information pertaining to civil seizures. The Project Director will record, compile and publish monthly data and statistics. The published data and statistics will be supplied to the Control Board, and available to each participating agency for review. Data will be compared monthly and annually. The beginning of the grant year is the base -line for evaluation. Data will be compared to the previous year on a year-to-year basis. The information will be collected at the end of the month's operations from statistics maintained during the operation month. The Project Director will collect and maintain the information, with which, he will compile and publish a monthly report to the Control Board detailing the activities, problems, and project changes, regarding the Task Force. Information for documenting the operation's activities will be manually collected on a daily basis. Task Force Investigators will maintain a daily log of time expended per case, per jurisdiction. This information will be gathered weekly and entered into a data collection program for future reporting. Information pertaining to arrests, suspects, drugs seized, andlor contraband seized will be maintained by the Task Force Investigators in a case log book. The measure of Task Force efficiency is quantified in terms of "dollar ratio" or return on investment. The Task Force will appraise the number of arrests and prosecutions; the number of arrestees having a prior criminal history; the street value of drugs seized; and the dollar amount expended to achieve these figures to show a continuing increase or a percent of increase for any given year. A "dollar ratio" or return on investment will then be calculated and used as a measure of efficiency. The ratio will track the following fields in formula form to comprise a year-end ratio which will measure efficiency. Dollar value of cocaine removed plus dollar value of marijuana removed plus assets forfeited related to the total cost of the operation contributed through the grant. For this ratio, cocaine will be tracked in ounces and marijuana will be tracked in pounds. These quantities will be multiplied by the current street value as listed by DEA data. The greater the return on investment, the greater the efficiency. Task Force arrests and drug/civil seizure data will measure the unit's effectiveness and success. Task Force evaluation measures follow the guidelines and procedures established by the Bureau of Justice Assistance for monitoring project performance. To measure this effectiveness, the Task Force will: A. Maintain intelligence and arrest records of targeted groups. Operationally they are defined as those individuals residing in Weld County, Colorado who are actively involved with illegal narcotics and/or marihuana possession, and use andlor sells with or without prior criminal records of arrest for other offenses. B. Maintain records which will detail the quantity of illegal narcotics and marihuana seized. These records will indicate the quantity of the illegal narcotics and marijuana seized, the maximum street value, and the amount of illegal narcotics and 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART A - GENERAL INFORMATION marijuana seized relative to funds expended for the seizure. C. Maintain the records of the areas in Weld County targeted by the Task Force. These figures will be compared to each affected participating agency's statistics for prior years. D. Maintain records of the prosecuting offenders arrested by the Task Force. The effectiveness of the prosecution effort will be measured against data furnished by the Colorado District Attorney's Council. E. Maintain records of seized drug -offender assets used to commit the illegal activity andlor profits realized from that activity. The Task Force will use these assets to finance continued operations thereby relieving the financial burden of the contributing agencies and ultimately return the benefit to the community. Qualitative measures can be established by comparing conviction data with similar data before the grant began operating. If, as an example, convictions are lagging compared to the prior year, an analysis will be made to determine why that is occurring. If the reasonlsl appear to be related to how cases are prepared, how evidence is prepared, or other operational aspects, changes in policy, procedure, andlor personnel will be implemented to improve the deficient areas. Qualitative measures relative to conviction information will be collected by the District Attorney's Office and provided to the Project Director. Qualitative variables to be documented and reviewed should also include anecdotal information, feedback from schools and treatment facilities, and drug related deaths as reported by area medical facilities, as well as feed back received through community surveys. Priority Two: Identify "at risk youths" and develop a plan to reduce the risk factors. Programs designed to reduce criminal activity are hard to measure because the idea is to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place ;however there are methods that give some constructive feedback to the organization monitoring any changes. At the present time, the Greeley Police Department has been relying on two methods of performance indicators; Surveys designed to asses the satisfaction levels of the targeted neighborhood and comparing reported crimes in the area to prior years. The latter of the two can be deceptive and needs to be analyzed carefully. For, example, for the first year one of the target locations showed an increase in the number of reported crimes. At looking closer at the available stats and comparing that with the information received from the residents, it was discovered that the area residents felt that it was no longer a futile effort to report crime, as it was thought in the past. In addition the stats also showed an increase in the clearance rate of reported crimes from the previous year. Action Plan At the present time the is no official Action Plan. The formulation of a Community -Wide Planning Commission is still in the beginning stages, however, the following individuals are currently committed to serving on this Commission: *A.M. Dominguez, District Attorney, 19th Judicial District, P.O. Box 1167, Greeley Co, 80631 *Chief Paul Branham, Greeley Police Department, 919 7th Street, Greeley Co, 80631 *Sheriff Ed Jordan, Weld County Sheriff, 910 10 Ave, Greeley, Co, 80631 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART A - GENERAL INFORMATION PROJECT SUMMARY A multi -jurisdictional approach is the only means of support to combat the drug problems in many rural areas of Weld County. A cooperative multi -jurisdictional approach appears to be the most effective method to coordinate information dissemination, criminal apprehension, and prosecution efforts for the 19 municipal police departments, the Sheriff's Office, and the District Attorney's Office in Weld County. In the majority of law enforcement agencies in Weld County, excluding the Greeley Police Department and the Weld County Sheriffs Office, there are an average of 4.3 officers per department. In police agencies of this size it is nearly impossible to staff a functional narcotics investigative unit. The combined resources and coordinated effort of 20 law enforcement agencies within Weld County will provide a means to support the assignment of a cadre of narcotics investigators dedicated to effectively and efficiently combating our community's potential and realized drug problems. During the past six 6 years of WCTF operation, investigators have made a substantial number of cases against targeted suspects. Investigators have purchased and/or confiscated substantial amounts of illegal narcotics of all types. The Task Force efforts have been successful because of two factors. First, the base of mutual support by the citizens and law enforcement agencies within Weld County has been developed for Task Force operations. Secondly, there is an individual commitment on the part of those investigators whom are assigned to this unit, to do everything within their legal authority to be effective in their efforts. The strength of this combined stand against illegal drugs in our community has been impressive and lasting. We expect the support for these efforts to continue. This will result in the continued targeting and apprehension of individuals involved in illegal drug activity and the seizure of property they use to commit illegal drug trafficking. The revenue generated through forfeitures will be dedicated exclusively to further expand the current Task Force effort or will be designated as future funding for the Task Force. We will continue to monitor the progress of arrested individuals through the criminal justice system. A program is in place to actively attend and oppose those individuals requesting parole. The Greeley Police Department's "Parole Opposition Program" is the only one of it's type active in the State of Colorado at the present time. During the past two years, Investigators assigned to the Weld County task Force have received in-house training from their respective host agencies with regards to cultural diversity. Topics included: Sexual Harassment, Hate Crimes and Ethnic Intimidation, Hispanic Cultural Issues, and Gangs. Continued emphasis will be afforded to subjects regarding cultural diversity and cultural issues, when considering training requests for the coming years of operation. The Task Force will continue to look to the respective host agencies, and to the local post secondary learning institutions, as resources for this type of training. One of the fundamental objectives of the WCTF is to provide training for area law enforcement agencies in subjects including, but not limited to narcotics identification, confidential informants, criminal intelligence, and search & seizure. The objective of the training is to have as many officers trained in drug recognition in Weld County, as possible. These efforts will place more recognition trained officers out on the street to augment efforts of Task Force. This type of training has consistently been and will continue to be made available by the Task Force. Education to primary and secondary students remains a high priority for the Task Force. We will continue staying actively involved in D.A.R.E., "Just Say No", and other classroom presentations to actively pass on the anti -drug message. The joining of narcotics investigative efforts, within Weld County, has facilitated an enhanced data base relative to criminal intelligence. There is an increased identification of known drug dealers, habitual users, and associated actors, the documentation of their criminal histories, and their continuing activities. Through maintenance of comprehensive criminal intelligence files, these individuals have been, and will continue to be targeted for undercover operations to include; close surveillance, controlled and undercover narcotics purchases, and/or reverse operations. The relationships with federal agencies is evident by their support of our operation as documented in several letters submitted by these agencies, (Appendix B). We have on -going cases with several of these agencies and will continue working with the Postal Inspector, Customs, FBI, INS, IRS, DEA, BATF and CBI, as well as with other state and county drug enforcement units. The Task Force is now comprised of one Project Director, one supervisor, six investigators, one intelligence investigator, and one deputy district attorney. The program does not duplicate effort so manpower, equipment, and operating funds are not wasted. Information is effectively disseminated. A coordinated effort to fulfill the mandate of the Task Force, and achieve the Goals & Objectives as stated within the grant application is maintained. The evaluation plan to monitor the progress of the Weld County Task Force will follow the guidelines established by the Division of Criminal Justice. We have a manual data collection system in place to compile and evaluate the areas required by the grant, as well as a computerized time/case management system to monitor the amount of time required in each case and also time spent in each individual community. The system is also capable of monitoring all cases which involve the Weld County Task Force when working with other outside agencies. This information is updated on a daily basis. All of the above information is accessible for comparison at 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART A - GENERAL INFORMATION any time. Information used to evaluate the program include; the number of arrests, prior criminal history information, criminal disposition, all financial information regarding monies expended for undercover drug operations, and the financial information pertaining to civil seizures. The information is compiled at the end of the month's operations from statistics collected during the operation month. Information is compared monthly and annually. The beginning of the grant year is the base line for evaluation. Information is compared to previous years on a year-to-year basis and reported and published in the annual reports. The Project Director compiles and publishes a monthly report for the Control Board and/or provides the report to participating agencies on request. To measure operational efficiency the Task Force appraises the number of arrests and prosecutions; the number of arrestees reflecting a prior criminal history; the street value of drugs seized; and the dollar amount expended to achieve these figures to show a continuing increase or a percent of increase for any given year. A "dollar ratio" or return on investment is then calculated and used as a measure of efficiency. The ratio tracks the following information in ratio format to comprise a year-end ratio which will measure efficiency. The dollar value of cocaine removed plus the dollar value of marijuana removed plus the assets forfeited related to the total cost of the operation contributed through the grant. For this ratio, cocaine is tracked in ounces and marijuana is tracked in pounds. These quantities are multiplied by the current street value as listed by DEA data. The greater the return on investment, the greater the efficiency. Task Force arrest, drug and civil seizures data measure the unit's effectiveness and success. Task Force evaluation measures follow the guidelines and procedures established by the Bureau of Justice Assistance for monitoring project performance. The State of Colorado will realize the significance of WCTF efforts through comparison of quarterly statistics with those Task Forces of equal size in the State. Experienced management, competent undercover operations with capable personal and operationally sound equipment, and aggressive criminal and civil litigation will combine to accomplish the goals of the program. Weld County will have a drug enforcement program which will neutralize drug dealers, reduce demand for illegal drugs, reduce the quality of drugs on the market, seize property and profits of crime, and cooperate with other agencies through joint investigative efforts and sharing of criminal intelligence. The Weld County Task Force has become a "contact point" for narcotics investigative activities and information sharing relative to illegal drug manufacture, sales, and distribution in Northern Colorado. Surrounding agencies are familiar with the Task Force and confident in our abilities to effectively investigate, or augment their investigations, of drug cases. We enjoy a solid reputation for quality and professionalism in both the civilian and law enforcement communities.

First, there are no female members on the Control Board. The Control Board is made up of selected representatives of the Weld County Chiefs of Police. There are no female Chiefs of Police in Weld County. To remedy this condition, one of the Control Board members may elect to have a female representative from his agency fill his respective position on the Board, however, there has been no action taken to date to alleviate this deficiency. 970571 1997 DCSrp Application PART A - GENERAL INFORMATION As for Project Staff, we were able to recruit a female officer from the Evans Police Department, to join our ranks, in March of 1996. Additionally, we had another female applicant from the Weld County Sheriff's Department who will be a strong prospect for future assignment. We have one hispanic male assigned to the Project from the Greeley Police Department. Secondly, there are no Hispanic members of the Task Force Control Board. Again, the Board is made up of selected representatives from the Weld County Chiefs of Police. There are no Hispanic Chiefs of Police in Weld County at this time. To remedy this situation, one of the Board members may elect to have a hispanic representative from his agency fill his respective position on the board, however, there has been no action taken to date to alleviate this deficiency. Members of the Control Board and the Project Staff are sensitive to cultural diversity issues, as they have received on -going training with regard many of these issues throughout the life of the grant. During the 1997/98 grant year all project staff will attend a block of cultural diversity training during the Greeley Police Department's 1998 in-service training academy. 970571 1997 rr'SIP Application PART A - GENERAL INFORMATION agency(ies) is determined: The percentage of forfeitures given to an assisting agencies is based on the amount of support given to the investigation and the part played by the agency itself.

This includes a quarterly audit by the Inspectional Services Officer, assigned to the Greeley Police Chief. The Weld County Task Force is continually upgrading and improving it's investigative abilities, through experience and enhanced equipment. These improved capabilities are consistently leading us into larger scale manufacturers and distributors of illegal substances and marijuana. Our experience is that when working suspects on these levels there is an immediate increase in money which has to be spent to sustain the investigation. This includes money for larger drug purchases, money for obtaining and maintaining active confidential informants, and o casionally spending funds to support the investigation (ie; renting hotel/motel rooms, moving Confidential Informants, pagers for CI's, etc.). Based on review of past grant year budgets, and projections for the remainder of the current grant, it is estimated that we will have a shortfall in this account line of approximately $20,000.00 during the 1995/96 grant year. Armed with this information, the $50,000.00 request for Confidential Funds is the minimum level of funding which would sustain the Task Force Investigations. 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART B - BUDGET Form B-2 FUNDING SUPPORT Use the space allotted to provide the requested information. 16. OTHER PRIVATE OR PUBLIC AGENCIES SUPPORT: Indicate other private or public, non-federal agencies that have agreed to, or are considering financial support of this project. Identify and explain the source of funds including the name(s) of those agencies, the exact amount of support, the dates the funds are available, and how the funds will be used. * There are no other private or public agencies that have agreed to, or are considering financial support of this project. 17. FEDERAL SUPPORT: Will other federal support be available for any part of this project? If yes, identify and explain when the support will be available, the amount of the support, and how the funds will be used. This should be interpreted broadly and include notice of any related activities supported by other federal programs (HHS, JTPA, HUD, General Revenue Sharing, etc.) which have significant impact on the potential success of this project. * The Weld County Task Force is currently a participating agency in one (1) organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force project, with Federal law enforcement agencies. At present it is not known whether this case will extend into the 1997-1998 grant year. Nor is it known whether or not we will be a participant in OCDETF cases originated during the 1997-1998 grant year. In each case, the Federal funds available and received displace expenses which would have otherwise been incurred by the Task Force. 18. FEDERAL SUBMISSIONS: Have other federal agencies been contacted for assistance on this project? If yes, identify the agency, indicate the status of the project in that federal agency's funding process, and how the funds will be used. * There have been no other Federal agencies contacted for financial/budgetary assistance on this project. 19. SOURCE OF MATCHING FUNDS: New cash match is defined as "non-federal money that would not have otherwise been made available in the absence of the federal funds." Forfeiture funds and project income are considered new cash match, as well as general funds allocated for the project by the local or state government. If the source is other than those described, explain how it was determined to be eligible as new cash. * The match funds documented in the grant application are funds which were not in existence prior to participation in the grant process and/or receipt of grant funds. Cash match originates from local agencies with no standing narcotics enforcement effort prior to the grant being available. Also, civil forfeiture funds are available to be utilized as cash match to meet the match requirements. Both the Greeley Police Department and the Weld County Sheriff's Department are major contributors of cash match funds for this application. Their cash match is funding which they have made available which did not previously exist for narcotics enforcement prior to the start-up of the grant in 1990. Most of this cash match is designated towards personnel to create positions which enhance Narcotics Enforcement and Prosecutorial Efforts (ie; The Task Force Prosecutor, Additional Investigator Positions, the creation of a full time Project Director). The Federal Funds are not replacing budgeted funds. They are funds available over and above that which would otherwise have been allocated by local agencies for Narcotics Enforcement endeavors, joint or independent. 970 571 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE Refer to instructions and insert text that covers the sections listed below. 20. Text: PROBLEM STATEMENT Weld County continues to experience a significant number of crimes and incidents involving drugs and individuals associated with drug activities. Over the last six (6) years the Weld County Task Force (WCTF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have interdicted clandestine methamphetamine laboratories and identified routes, persons and residences utilized by major traffickers of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana in Weld County. With the limited resources available to individual police agencies, the use of a multi -jurisdictional task force, for covert investigations and undercover operations, focuses assets on the problems relating to drugs and individuals associated with drug activity. Agencies participating in the Task Force program are sharing information and criminal intelligence within this multi - jurisdictional endeavor. The information is directed to a centralized criminal intelligence investigator, who is responsible for review, collection, maintenance, dissemination, and purging of criminal intelligence in accordance with 28CFR Part 23. This sharing and coordination of information is a significant step towards realizing a key goal, which was established at the onset of the Weld County Task Force Operations. Further, this co -operational effort has facilitated an efficient acquisition of intelligence information through the identification of drug dealers and habitual users; the documentation of their criminal histories; and their present activity. These individuals have been targeted for undercover operations including, but not limited to, undercover surveillance undercover and controlled buys, and/or reverse operations. The targeting of these individuals has led to numerous arrests, however, two factors remain prevalent in the continued drug activity. First, even though drug offenders are caught, prosecuted and convicted, they often keep the fruits of their crimes. Second, most drug dealers see incarceration as an acceptable risk and/or a cost of doing drug business. To impact these factors there will be continued cooperation between participating agencies and the members of the Task Force. The Task Force will pursue targeting, investigation, apprehension and prosecution of individuals involved in illegal drug activity. We will seize property used to foster illegal drug manufacture and sales. Further, we will seize the profits gained from these illegal activities. In turn, the proceeds gained from the forfeitures will be dedicated exclusively to further expand and/or maintain the activities of the Weld County Task Force. 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE 21. Text: GOALS & OBJECTIVES The goals are defined and agreed upon by all Task Force participating law enforcement agencies. Only the Task Force Control Board can allow deviation from these goals. A. PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: MISSION STATEMENT: The Weld County Task Force exists as a co -operational, multi jurisdictional unit of law enforcement formed for the purpose of conducting covert investigations and comprehensive prosecution relative to illegal narcotics manufacture, distribution, sales, and usage, and for the provision of effective, efficient law enforcement service to the citizenry, consistent with prescribed ethical and constitutional limitations. GOAL 1. Identify criminals who possess dangerous drugs and those criminals who are trafficking dangerous drugs and marijuana at a level which is their sole or major source of income. We will then target, by special effort, those violators that fall within the identified areas of drug and drug related criminal activity that reside with in task force jurisdiction. OBJECTIVE 1.

Text: CRITICAL ELEMENTS There are a total of twenty-one (21) law enforcement agencies whom directly, or indirectly benefit from the formation and actions of this multi -jurisdictional Task Force. Chief executives of each of these agencies have each provided written agreement to support the Task Force and contribute to the project with; information, manpower, equipment, and/or match funding. Additionally, there is a standing intergovernmental agreement in place between the City of Evans, the City of Greeley and Weld County relative to Task Force operations. The intergovernmental agreement is critical as each of these governmental entities employs the Investigators who staff the Task Force. With each of these agencies in agreement and cooperation in this project, there is no longer duplication of effort between agencies, hence manpower, equipment and investigative funds are efficiently utilized. The Chief executives of the Weld County law enforcement agencies have elected, from amongst their ranks, three (3)individuals to serve as "Control Board" members. Weld County Sheriff's Office and the Greeley Police Department each have one standing member on the control board, bring the total number of borad members to (5) five. The Task Force Project Director meets monthly with these executives, reports on Task Force activities (past & future), and solicits/receives direction and staff decisions on issues which affect Task Force operations. Task Force policy and procedure parallels that of the Greeley Police Department, which is in compliance with the standards of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. The Task Force has written agreements to establish funding for a continued operation and also has in place an agreement, by year, with those agencies contributing match money, reference disbursement of seized funding. All Task Force civil forfeiture assets which are received are under the control of a three member Asset Forfeiture Control Group, comprised of District Attorney A.M. Dominguez, Chief John Michaels, and Windsor Council Person Dave Shoupe. Any use of cash assets must received prior approval from this Control Group before funds may be released. The property assets are inventoried and reported upon by the Project Director twice per year. The cash assets are deposited to a Trust Fund established by the Weld County Controller's Office. Monthly updates are received regarding the receipts, expenditures, and balance in this trust fund. Finally, the Project Director submits annual reports to the State of Colorado, Attorney General's Office, and to the U.S Department of Justice detailing forfeiture receipts, and expenditures. 9705,71 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE Operationally, the Task Force establishes a priority target listing at the beginning of every grant year. The persons or organizations listed are so designated because of existing criminal intelligence, prior investigative effort(s), and/or availability of reliable informant assets to facilitate successful investigations. All personnel assigned to the Task Force have input in the establishment of this priority listing. Cases are initiated by every Investigator assigned to the Task Force. These cases are tracked via a computerized records management system and via manual files. Our cases are forwarded to the District Attorney's Office electronically as they are completed and approved. The District Attorney's Office uses the same records management system employed by the Task Force. The District Attorney's Office assigns and monitors case activity through the Judicial System through the same RMS system. Every Investigator assigned to the Task Force is scheduled, as soon as practical, to attend the two week DEA Basic Narcotics Investigations course. Additionally, we seek training opportunities locally to enhance Investigators abilities, on a "continuing education" basis. Finally, the Task Force is conducting its own narcotics investigative courses from a curriculum established as a result of a local needs assessment survey. All new investigators are required to attend these courses as they are offered. OJT is still one of the most beneficial and extensively utilized aspects of training for new Task Force Investigators. 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE 23. Text: PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Task Force primary objective is the apprehension and prosecution of drug offenders. Agents of the Task Force will infiltrate known drug cultures. Such covert operations will allow investigators to collect criminal intelligence, and develop criminal cases to arrest and prosecute targeted drug offenders. Further these activities will increase the information on other, presently unknown, drug activity. Information obtained through the Task Force effort will be disseminated to other law enforcement agencies on a "need to know" basis. Statistical information will be furnished to educators (DARE and "Just Say NO") and treatment centers. Educators and treatment centers will receive information as needed to assess the needs of the community and to evaluate the effectiveness of their respective programs. The inter -agency, multi -jurisdictional effort of the Task Force program allows all Weld County law enforcement agencies to pool resources toward a common goal. The program provides undercover officers to those law enforcement agencies which do not have alternate resources available for such operations. The program allows participating agencies to efficiently allocate scarce resources to, crucial police services. The continuance of this Task Force is of critical importance to all communities within Weld County. Without these efforts, illegal drug manufacture, sales/distribution, and usage would go unchecked. Crimes associated to illegal drug activities would be on the rise. This program must be continued if the efforts of the Weld County Task Force and all of it's support agencies is to be realized. If the program does not continue, those efforts will be wasted. 24. Text: WORKPLAN & TIMETABLE The Weld County Task Force is a continuation project which initiated operations on October 1, 1990. This multi - jurisdictional Task Force has been in continual operation since that time. 25. Text: STAFF & OTHER PROJECT RESOURCES The project staff will consist of a Prosecuting attorney, a Project Director, one Greeley PD sergeant, two full time undercover Deputy Sheriff's, one full time Evans PD undercover Police Officer, three full time Greeley PD undercover Police Officers, and one full time Greeley PD Criminal Intelligence officer. The Task Force will be supplemented with temporary personnel from participating agencies as needed. The Weld County Deputy District Attorney, who has been funded by the grant, is Brandon Marinoff. Mr. marinoff received his undergraduate degree from St. John's University in New York. In 1991, he received his law degree from Touro College in New York. While attending law school, he was employed by the District Attorney's Office in Queens County. It was there he became involved in assisting the prosecution with drug cases. Subsequent to his graduation from law school, Mr. Marinoff accepted a position as a prosecutor for the City of Lakewood, Colorado. In February 1993, Mr. Marinoff left the City of Lakewood to accept the position as Task Force prosecutor for the Weld County District Attorney's Office. Mr. Marinoff has been a valuable asset to the Task Force project, providing training and support to all Weld County enforcement agencies. The Project Director for the Weld County Task Force is Lieutenant David B. Spies, Greeley Police Department. Lieutenant Spies has been employed by the Greeley Police Department since August 1, 1976. Lt. Spies has had assignments/experience in the following fields; Field Training Officer, Supervisor of the Crime Prevention unit Training & Personnel, Community Services, Gang unit, and SWAT. Lt. Spies currently has a collateral assignment with the Greeley Police Department as the SWAT Team Commander. Lt. Spies has an Associate of Arts Degree in 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE Criminal Justice from Aims Community College, Greeley, Colorado and a Baccalaureate Degree in Business Management from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley Colorado. The undercover agents and the intelligence officer assigned to the Task Force will be members of the Weld County Sheriff's Office, the Evans Police Department, and the Greeley Police Department. Each Deputy/Officer assigned to the Task Force will be Colorado certified as a peace officer. Their duties include infiltrating drug cultures, gathering intelligence, purchasing drugs as possible, and preparing reports & affidavits detailing their actions/activities. These agents will work closely with the Prosecuting Attorney to facilitate effective prosecution of drug offenders. The Operations Committee of the Task Force is comprised of three (3) elected members, selected from and by the Chiefs of the participating agencies. Further, the Weld County Sheriff's Department and Greeley Police Department each have one (1) permanent standing position on the Operations Committee. The Operations Committee titled "Control Board" oversees and reviews Task Force operations on behalf of the participating agencies. There have been "bylaws" established to govern the functioning of the Control Board. Task Force policy and procedure parallels that of the Greeley Police Department, which is in compliance with the standards of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. Each participating agency has submitted a Letter of Agreement declaring its intent to participate in the Task Force program. 26. Text: EFFECTS & IMPACT The project will: 1. Identify, Investigate, and arrest drug offenders (manufacturers, dealers, users); 2. Remove from the market the largest possible quantity of controlled substances and marijuana; 3. Seize property used to commit drug -related offenses and the profits realized from illegal drug trafficking; 4. Prosecute persons involved in the illegal manufacture, possession, sale, and distribution of controlled substances and marijuana; and 5. Seek restitution for the cost of investigative services, from drug offenders, whenever possible. 27. Text: EVALUATION PLAN The Task Force will continue to be evaluated within guidelines established in the previous grants. Performance evaluations of the Deputy District Attorney assigned to criminal and civil drug cases will be according to guidelines consistent with goals and objectives expressed earlier, and with policy established by the District Attorney's Office. A. DATA COLLECTION 1 and 2 Data Needs Information needed to evaluate the program include; the number of arrests, prior criminal history information, criminal disposition, financial information regarding monies expended for undercover drug operations, and the 97(571 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE financial information pertaining to civil seizures. The Project Director will record, compile and publish monthly data and statistics. The published data and statistics will be supplied to the Control Board, and available to each participating agency for review. Data will be compared monthly and annually. The beginning of the grant year is the base -line for evaluation. Data will be compared to the previous year on a year-to-year basis. 3. Reporting Systems The information will be collected at the end of the month's operations from statistics maintained during the operation month. The Project Director will collect and maintain the information, with which, he will compile and publish a monthly report to the Control Board detailing the activities, problems, and project changes, regarding the Task Force. 4. Method of Collection Information for documenting the operation's activities will be manually collected on a daily basis. Task Force Investigators will maintain a daily log of time expended per case, per jurisdiction. This information will be gathered weekly and entered into a data collection program for future reporting. Information pertaining to arrests, suspects, drugs seized, and/or contraband seized will be maintained by the Task Force Investigators in a case log book. B. Project Effectiveness and Project Efficiency 1. Efficiency Measures The measure of Task Force efficiency is quantified in terms of "dollar ratio" or return on investment. The Task Force will appraise the number of arrests and prosecutions; the number of arrestees having a prior criminal history; the street value of drugs seized; and the dollar amount expended to achieve these figures to show a continuing increase or a percent of increase for any given year. A "dollar ratio" or return on investment will then be calculated and used as a measure of efficiency. The ratio will track the following fields in formula form to comprise a year-end ratio which will measure efficiency. Dollar value of cocaine removed plus dollar value of marijuana removed plus assets forfeited related to the total cost of the operation contributed through the grant. For this ratio, cocaine will be tracked in ounces and marijuana will be tracked in pounds. These quantities will be multiplied by the current street value as listed by DEA data. The greater the return on investment, the greater the efficiency. 2. Effectiveness Measures Task Force arrests and drug/civil seizure data will measure the unit's effectiveness and success. Task Force evaluation measures follow the guidelines and procedures established by the Bureau of Justice Assistance for monitoring project performance. To measure this effectiveness, the Task Force will: A. Maintain intelligence and arrest records of targeted groups. Operationally they are defined as those individuals residing in Weld County, Colorado who are actively involved with illegal narcotics and/or marijuana possession, and use and/or sells with or without prior criminal records of arrest for other offenses. B. Maintain records which will detail the quantity of illegal narcotics and marihuana seized. These records will indicate the quantity of the illegal narcotics and marihuana seized, the maximum street value, and the amount of illegal narcotics and marihuana seized relative to funds expended for the seizure. C. Maintain the records of the areas in Weld County targeted by the Task Force. These figures will be compared to each affected participating agency's statistics for prior years. 970571 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE D. Maintain records of the prosecuting offenders arrested by the Task Force. The effectiveness of the prosecution effort will be measured against data furnished by the Colorado District Attorney's Council. E. Maintain records of seized drug -offender assets used to commit the illegal activity and/or profits realized from that activity. The Task Force will use these assets to finance continued operations thereby relieving the financial burden of the contributing agencies and ultimately return the benefit to the community. The information acquired by the Weld County Task Force will be available to outside research. Confidential information regarding information sources and/or unsubstantiated information will not be disseminated. This statistical information will be compared to statewide averages. Further, the Task Force conducts annual needs assessment surveys of the local law enforcement jurisdictions within Weld County. A fair amount of information is collected here, along with an evaluation of the Task Force effectiveness on a local scale, as is perceived by the local Chiefs of Police. The report on this needs assessment is distributed back to the Chiefs of Police in Weld County and the Granting Authority. 28. Text: EVALUATION OF PAST PROGRESS FOR CONTINUATION APPLICANTS The Weld County Task Force operates as a continuation project, initially implemented in 1990 with seed money provided to the operation through the Edward L. Byrne Memorial Foundation. At start-up of this project there were only two Investigators and a Supervisor assigned to provide narcotics enforcement for the entire county minus the City of Greeley. The Greeley Police Department had an existing Narcotics Enforcement Unit and was not a participating agency in the Task Force endeavor. In October, 1991, the Greeley Police Department joined this endeavor, bringing a Sergeant, three Investigators, and a Criminal Intelligence Investigator to the project. This brought the total number of personnel assigned to eight (8). In June, 1993, a shift was made in the Task Force management and supervision. A single line of management and supervision was established, with the accountability directed to the Greeley Police Department. This move created an additional Investigators position, through elimination of the WCSO Sergeant's position. These changes appear to have been very constructive for the Task Force, and they have brought about a spirit of cooperation and unity which is uncommon in many of these types of efforts. The Weld County Task Force has many long standing, productive working relationships and information contacts with outside law enforcement agencies, and other governmental agencies. These relationships, coupled with our participation and access to the Statewide Narcotics And Gang index and other intelligence data bases, facilitate the transfer and sharing of criminal intelligence with regard to targeted suspects. The Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies are consciously working to avoid duplication, and facilitate coordination of investigative efforts. There are numerous instances when the Weld County Task Force has relied upon information, expertise, and technical support/assistance from the Federal Law Enforcement agencies in our region. Likewise, the Task Force serves as a local base of support to augment many of their investigations which come into our jurisdiction. Within Weld County, the Task Force member agencies utilize our information, manpower, and expertise to evaluate local information, assist in developing strategies for local response to the information/problem(s), and/or utilize the intelligence to open and pursue long term investigations. As a State, Colorado is presenting a consolidated front against criminal activities involving illicit narcotics. From our perspective, every agency in the State benefits from the successes of other work units with the same commission. We are starting to get away from individual unit successes/failures, and are moving towards considering the t s a 1997 DCSIP Application PART C - PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE unified endeavor and responsibility. Upon monitoring criminal intelligence, it becomes obvious that the investigative effort and enforcement we do in Weld County has implications on activity in Larimer County, Boulder County, Denver County, and so on. The reverse is also true. In the future, it will be critical that this mindset is expanded upon and encouraged. Through the life of this Grant Project, the Weld County Task Force joined in co -operational efforts with the Colorado National Guard: Joint Support Operations Command, to conduct marijuana eradication efforts. We have been abundantly successful in these efforts. During the 1993/94 grant year, the Weld County Task Force had the most productive eradication project in the State. The results of our efforts indicate to us that we have made a significant impact on this industry locally. However, these results were several years in the making. The Task Force has convincingly demonstrated to the local law enforcement executives, the community, and the Federal and State authorities that these eradication and education efforts must continue. We are currently preparing strategies to deal with future year's potential crops, including; participation in the Weld County farm show; print media, radio, and cable television spots; and the distribution of "Weld County Task Force Marijuana Eradication Project" hats to local farmers. The Weld County Task Force has continued to provide training locally to member agencies. The training stresses the basics of solid narcotics detection and investigations. As a direct result, a number of confidential informants have been referred to the Task Force Investigators by local agencies. The Task Force has also benefited from the increased flow of criminal intelligence which is generated as a result of these training sessions. I include three tables with this segment of the grant application, as evidence of the quantitative productivity of the Task Force for the last four years. The Task Force continues to grow and improve with experience, and enhanced technology to improve our abilities.

Text: PLANS FOR FUTURE FUNDING The loss of "Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Enforcement Assistance Program" grant funding would significantly impact the staffing and operations of the Weld County Task Force. It is estimated that staffing would be cut approximately 35%-40% and the availability of off -site operations would be lost. This would adversely affect our ability to provide service to the community and/or to outside agencies needing our assistance. Further, it would detrimentally affect our criminal prosecutions and civil forfeiture activities, as we would no longer be able to staff a full time Prosecutor's position in the District Attorney's Office. Instead, those cases currently assigned to this DDA would be delegated to other prosecutors, who may or may not have any experience in prosecution of these types of cases. In order to continue operations, the Weld County Task Force would be required to turn to significant increases in funding from the two largest agencies in the County, the Greeley Police Department, and the Weld County Sheriff's Office, to be the primary sources of support for continued operations. These funding increases are already in motion, due to decreases in funding available to continuation projects. Additionally, the Task Force has established a trust fund, through civil forfeitures and court ordered restitutions, which would be used to augment funding from these 970571 1997 DCSIPApplication PART C -PROJECT PLAN NARRATIVE two primary agencies. During the last year, a few of the cities have passed municipal ordinances allowing a surcharge to be added to municipal summons. In turn, the money collected from the surcharge is passed on to the Weld County Task Force Trust Fund. This money is then used to help fund the operation of the Task Force. However, at this time even with the surcharge money, there is not enough revenue coming in to support a multi jurisdiction Task Force, without the additional help of the "Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Enforcement Assistance Program" grant funding. Currently, members of the Weld County Task Force Board are looking at different strategies designed to eliminate the need of Federal Funding for the Task Force. PART D - CERTIFICATIONS/SIGNATURES 30.

The prospective subgrantee shall provide immediate written notice to the person to whom this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective subgrantee learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. c. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction," "participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of rules implementing Executive Order 12549. d.
