SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
The United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has had a multi-agency task force in place in the Salem area for over twenty years. The Salem Police Department has been an integral part of this task force. This task force investigates major drug trafficking organizations operating in the Salem area, with the goal of disrupting those organizations and reducing the flow of illegal narcotics into the community. The IGA outlines the responsibilities of the Salem Police Department and the DEA in the operation of this task force.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
1. The Salem Police Department would have one Sergeant and two officers assigned to the DEA multi-agency task force under the IGA, and the DEA would reimburse the City of Salem for overtime payments made to the task force officers in an amount of up to $17,753.00 per officer.
