state and local law enforcement effort to identify, target and address those involved in drug
trafficking, manufacture and/or violence. MRDTF utilizes sophisticated long-term investigative
approaches, including undercover surveillance operations, the purchase of evidence and
information, and electronic surveillance to disrupt and dismantle targeted drug organizations.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of this proposal will have a fiscal impact of $29,679.00 and is
within departmental budget.
