Report
Summary

The purpose of these task force groups is to disrupt the illegal trafficking of drugs in the State of Arizona by immobilizing targeted violators and trafficking organizations.

Through this agreement, four experienced Phoenix police officers will continue to be assigned to the DEA Phoenix Task Force for a period of not less than two years. This agreement provides the City with reimbursement for the officers' overtime related to task force investigations.
