PROBLEM: In the space provided, briefly summarize the problem that is addressed by the
project.
Butte County currently has the dual problem of drag abuse {by
individuals) and illegal drug production and distribution, particularly
in methamphetamine laboratories and marijuana plantations. The problem
is not limited to production and use of these substances. There is
a "spill-over effect" of associated violent and property crime, not
only for Butte County, but for other jurisdictions. Although the state's
Cam=paign Against Nkarijuana Planting and the Butte Interagency Narcotics
Task Force have made progress against growers and producers, there is
a present gap in the user-distributor/producer information network that
can be filled by the creation of a Probation Narcotics~.T.ask Force to
assist in the .interdiction and suppression of illegal drug production
and trafficking.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
ATTACHMENT B-5A
INSTRUCTIONS: Provide the requested information to validate the need for the
proposed project. Use additional pages as needed, not to exceed, ten, double
spaced typed pages for the Problem Statement (Attachments B-5A through B-5E).
1. NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM
Describe the nature and scope of the drug problem which is the focus of
the proposed project. Include drug and crime data to substantiate the
problem.
Northern California generally, and Butte County
specifically, clearly testify to a serious drug problem. A
recent needs assessment conducted by the Northern California
hiealth Systems Agency concluded that approximately 7 percent
of .Butte County's estimated I75,gg0 population {between II,ggO -
I2,Oq[3 individuals) could be designated as active abusers of
drugs. Persons so identified are individuals at risk of
entering directly into the criminal justice, welfare, and/or
medical service systems as a direct result of drug abuse. The
same source identifies approximately 3,Og0 I.V. drug abusers
in Sutte County.
Brug use represents but the tip of the iceberg for
criminal justice agencies in Butte County. Illegal production
traffic and use contribute heavily to other criminal activity.
Such "adjucnt criminality" can be measured two ways: (1) by
the crime committed by users, and (2) by the amount of crime
generated by associated activities. Focusing on the criminal
activities of addicts, a National Institute of drug Abuse
~> r
research project estimated that more than u73,738 offenses were
committed during the peak years of activity by 243 addicts with
a mean numbar of "crime-days'" per year of i78 incidents (not
including drug use or possession). 1t is Significant for this
proposed project that there was a reported six-fold increase
in the fret~uency of crime when the individuals were addicted.
Duane C. McE3ride of the l~niversity of Miami School of Medicine
concluded from a study of incarcerated offenders that drug abuse,
per se, is not related to individual violence. however, he
suggests a closer examination of the role of violence in the
daily lives of abusers and the increasing evidence of the
association of violence in drug abusing groups.
Virtually all proscribed drug use patterns prevalent in
the ~fnited states are encountered in Butte County. The four
primary drugs of concern are, in descending order of importance,
methamphetamines, marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.
The production and use of methamphetamines (and closely
related substances) currently are considered the mast serious
in nGture. Significant production of these drugs was noted in
1980 by outlaw motorcycle gangs who chose Butte County's rural
areas as an ideal production and distrif~ution to tk~e San Francisco
Bay area, Sacramento, Reno, Northern California, and Oregon from
which bass chemicals can be easily obtained as well as marketing
areas far the finished product. Butte County's lightly policed
foothill and mountain areas afford many locations and structures
where illegal labs can be set up and operated with little chance
of detection. In the last several years "cooking" of metham-~
phetamineshas taken on aspects of a "cabin industry" with
"apprenticeships" filled by local residents and outside recruits.
With the escalating volume and profits in methamphetamine
production and distribution, "rip offs" and territorial disputes
r~
have increased, with the result that participants are often
heavily armed. During the past year local Iaw enforcement
agencies have confiscated over 200 firearms in the course of
____..
. __
drug raids. Butte County law enforcement authorities believe
that a majority of homicides occurring in the county are drug
related. (Several homicides and other acts of violence in nearby
jurisdictions have also been directly linked to drug production
and distribution in Butte County},
Marijuana production and distribution continue to be a
major problem for Butte County, in the fight against marijuana
plantations the State funded CAMP Program has been successful
in reducing the number of large-scale plantations. However,
more dispersed outdoor plantings, as well as indoor cultivation,
still continue as major industries. Butte currently ties with
Mendocino far second place behind Humboldt County in amounts
of yearly seizures. With the more covert methods of planting,
air surveillance needs to be supplemented with an informant
program envisioned by this program proposal.
Cocaine is available throughout the county, with most
identified users concentrated in and around Chico. Butte County
is now recognized as a major distribution and staging area for
cocaine obtained elsewhere, due in large part to the many small
public and private airports scattered throughout the largely
rural topography. Michael Dawson, who recently pled guilty to
"involved possession" of 16Q kilns of cocaine, reportedly
organized one of the major cocaine import and distribution rings
in the United States while operating a ranch and flying service
in the County.
While encountered less frequently that tfie other three
major drugs, there has been a significant increase in the rate
of heroin seizures and arrests during the last two years. Butte
County law enforcement statistics indicate an increase of several
fold in heroin entering the County in the past three years.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
2. TARGETED OFFENDERS
Describe the category of drug offender(s) targeted in the proposed
project. Describe the relationship between the targeted offender(s) and
the drug problem.
The project is directed to the identification and appre-
hensian of drug offenders an probation, parole or related status,
and through the use of a Probation Narcotics Task Force, develop
information on other offenders and their distribution and supply
networks. ,In cooperation with local law enforcement agencies,
BINTF, and the District Attorney information will be developed
and shared that will target major and mid-level offenders who-
are principles in the drug network.
3. TARGET AREA
Describe the geographic area targeted in the proposed project. Include
appropriate geographic, demographic and socioeconomic information. Attach
a map. if available. Include the target area population. Use 19$']
Department of Finance estimates if available (see Appendix G, Page '~3).
Indicate the source if other data is used.
The Department of Finance has estimated the population
of Butte County at 167,400 as of January I, 1987. It is a mixed
urban-rural community -~rith about 70 percent residing in or near
the principle population centers of Chico, Paradise, t3roville,
and Gridley. The remaining 30 percent are identified as rural
and reside principally in the small foothill and riverfront
communities distributed throughout the county. ~T.he mix of
:r
incorporated/unincorporated population complicates jurisdictional
boundaries; 9,000 individuals (55.5} are estimated to reside
in unincorporated areas and, LM1~ith the exception of areas serviced
by local Police,'are the responsibility of the County Sheriff's
Department. The largest ethnic community is Caucasian {90.70 ,
followed by Hispanic (5.2~), 81ack {1.2~}, and Other {0.6~).
The attached map identifies the primary geographic division
and population centers and the primary areas of production traffic
and use of illegal drugs in Butte county. Chico is the largest
and fastest growing population center. The economy is centered
primarily around the university and an influx of light and
technical industries. These factors result in a relatively
youthful and somewhat afluent populations in which there is a
market for cocaine and marijuana.
Gridley has a large population with citizenship remaining
in Mexico and/or close connections and frequent travel to that
country. -Elements within that population have developed channels
for import of Mexican heroin and established the Gridley area
as a primary source of that narcotic for users in Butte and several
neighboring counties.
The foothill and mountains, which comprise slightly over
half of the county, are generally thinly populated with Paradise
being the only incorporated town or city not located in the valley
area. A fairly large percentage of the mountain population is
comprised of retirees and welfare recipients. Other sources
of legitimate income are in logging, ranching, and mining. In
recent years the most rapidly growing and, far some, most profitable
enterprises in this region have been in marijuana and metham-
phetamine production.
Orvville area employment is centered around agriculture
and the timber industry. Due in part tv the seasonal nature
of many of these jobs, Oroville has the highest unemployment
and welfare rates in the county.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
~. CURRENT DRUG CONTROL EF'F'ORTS
Describe current drug control efforts directed at the problem which is the
focus of the proposed project. Be specific in regard to the taxgeted
offenders) and target area of the proposed project.
Butte County Courts and the Probation Department currently
work closely in setting conditions for seGrch and testing an
all defendants placed on Formal probation for drug ar drug related
offenses. C}rug involvement is also one of the factors used in
determining the level of supervision in the Probation Department's
classification system. Drug testing is conducted on probationers
evidencing signs of usage and, as budget permits, a limited amount
of random testing is also done. Special concern is given by
prosecution, Courts, and Probation in identifying and dealing
appropriately with identified drug traffickers in the Court
system. Existing, non-computerized data systems, segmented
authority and heavy caseloads inhibit a full exchange of
information an suspected drug production and distribution
activities. Cooperation, within constraints of the staff and
time, is provided by all local law enforcement agencies in Probation
and Parole searches.
Regular meetings of the Butte County Investigators group,
cansistino of officers from law enforcement, probation and parole
and District attorney's Office have resulting in exchange of
much useful information of drug traffickers. These meetings
have also called attention to the need for a centralized system
far collecting and dispersing information an drug offenders and
related information. Butte Interagency Narcotic Task Foree
officers are especially anxious to participate in•activities
which may involve or lead to apprehension of mid and upper level
dealers and producers.
The Courts and District Attorney's Office are we11 aware
of the extent of our drug problems and its negative impact on
our justice system and our society as a whole. £ven with heavy
work loads, attempts are made to give priority to cases involving
majcr drug offenders.
Currently the Butte County 5heriff's Department has a deputy
sheriff assigned to the local Student Drug Abuse Suppression
Program that operates in schools in the Greater Oroville area.
Activities include the use of surveillance techniques around
the school campuses to detect and terminate use, distribution
or storage•of illegal substances on school campuses and functions.
Cooperation is gained from school administrators and students
alike in determining those individuals that are responsible for
the introduction of these illegal drugs into the school atmosphere.
The Deputy also works with the Sheriff's Department's Narcotic
Division along with the Butte Interagency narcotic Task force
in the sharing of information and assisting in operations when
additional personnel is required for backup in particular
operation.

Mnlticomponent Proposal: Describe the linkages between all the
participating components end agencies which will ensure the necessary
level of coordination and cooperation. '
A unified project and effort involving the criminal justice
agencies within the county is needed to make a major impact on
the serious problems which we are experiencing in local drug
production, abuse and trafficking. The project will center on
two primary components; a special drug unit within the Probation
Department and a central computerized information gathering and
dispersing system for all enforcement agencies engaged in anti-
drug activities.
The Probation Department will initiate intensive supervision,
surveillance and/or testing of probationees and divertees with
significant known or suspected drug involvement. This activity
will be county wide and have back-up and other support from law
enforcement especially when conducting searches and other high
risk confrontive activities. The inclusion of an evidence tech-
nician from the Sheriff's Department in drug arrests and searches,
along with special training for probation and police officers
will result in "tighter" cases for prosecution. The District
Attorney's Office will participate in such training as well as
providing investigative assistance and a:ntensified prosecution
of targeted cases. The Courts will also give priority to prompt
handling of drug matters.
................................
r .
The Oraville Police Department will utilize their new,
fl.C.J.P. funded data processing center .to set up a central clearing
house of information an all known and suspected drug violators
and activities within the county. All local Iaw enforcement
agencies as well as County Probation, State Departments of
Corrections, and Youth Authority and Federal Probation and Parole
will actively contribute to the central data bank. The most
significant information generated, such as individuals having
search, association, and testing provisions will be provided
to appropriate agencies in weekly updates along with special
"alerts" an significant individuals yr activities. Information
from the data bank will be available to all involved agencies,
as well as justice system agencies from other areas, an a 24-hour
a day basis.
A high level of cooperation currently exists between all
agencies, and their field personnel, which will be involved in
this project. To achieve the desired level of effectiveness
emphasis must be placed on development of strong coordination
and planning of activities. This will be accomplished through
unified training of involved field personnel and strategy and
coordination meetings among supervisor level staff. The admin-
istration of each involved agency, by participating in the project
management advisory board, will provide emphasis to the need
for continuing cooperation and coordination and be available
to resolve any problems which might occur in these areas.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
6. ANTICIPATEfl PROJECT IMPACT
Briefly describe the anticipated impact outcome) oP the proposed project
on the target offender(s) in the target area. the community and the
criminal/juvenile justice system. Describe the proposed project's impact
on the target area's school and drug treatment systems."
The project should result in the arrest and prosecution/
revocation of a significant number of drug abusers and traffickers.
Concentration on producers and suppliers will result in their
removal from the community and reduce the supply of drugs
available for street sales, The program should also have the effect
of discouraging others from becoming involved or remaining in
activities in which the chances of apprehension are substantially
increased.
While directed primarily at adult offenders, experience
has shown that increased anti-drug activities of this nature also
result in the arrest of some juveniles. It is anticipated, however,
that any such increases can be adequately dealt with by existing
resources within the involved agencies and county schools. The
project should, by reducing the availability of drugs result in
a future decrease in the number of juveniles involved.
The project may result in some additional individuals placed
on probation or divexsian and required to participate in treatment.
Zt is felt that existing public and private programs will be
sufficient to deal with any such increase.

will be taken to carry out the planned project?) Use additional pages when
necessary to describe activities.
STRATEGY 1: INTENSIVE SUPERVISION
Ob'e_~_ dive: During the grant year, ensure compliance with court ordered
conditions of probation by the monitoring, drug detection and treatment of
probationers as measured by:
a. The number of probationers receiving a minimum of three
personal (not telephone} contacts per week from the probation
officer.
b. The number of probationers who received a minimum of three
random urinalysis tests per week.
c. The number of positive and negative random urinalysis tests.
d. The number of probationers who received a minimum of three
physical examinations for drug use per week {limited to eye
reaction and hypodermic mark examinations).
e. The number of positive and negative physical examinations for
drug use.
f. The number of probationers placed in treatment programs.
g. The number of probationers who completed treatment programs.
h. The number of probationers arrested for new offenses.
i. The number of probationers arrested for drug offenses.
j. The number of probation violations reported to the court.
Activities:
Strategies 1 and 3 are felt to be very worthwhile and comp].i-
mentary to each ether if effectively employed by a specialized drug
unit within the Probation Department. Qur unit would be comprised
of a supervisor (haying a partial caseload), three Deputy Probation
Officers and one clerk typist. All officers including the supervisor
will be assigned flexible schedules and be contracting probationers
on evenings and weekends. (Our previous experience has shown that
such scheduling is a very effective supervision tool.)
Al 1_ probationers known ox strongly indicated to be major or
midlevel drug offenders would be assigned to this unit. The next
category for inclusion will be individuals with close connections
or associatigns with upper level offenders. The third priority
for intensive supervision is with street level offenders having
heavy abuse patterns and/or who score high on the department's risks
and needs classification system.
The maximum caseload for officers in the special unit will
initially be set at 35 with the possibility of raising or lowexing
the limit as experience is gained in the project. A team approach
will also be utilized in supervision of selected offenders, especially
upper level and high risk individuals. Accurate records will be
maintained in accordance with all ten measuring criteria enumerated
under stxategy one objectives.

Objective: During the grant year, ensure that a full and comprehensive
presentence investigation in accordance with PC 3203, including a detailed
history of drug-related information, is performed for all persons handled by
the project who are convicted/adjudicated for drug offenses as measured by:
The number of presentence investigation reports submitted to the
court.
Activities:
The Probation Department will continue to do full and
comprehensive pre-sentence investigations and reports per
P.C. 1203. The implementation of the full project should
provide significant, additional information in many drug cases
which would enhance the Probation Department's and Court's
knowledge and ability in reaching appropriate dispositions

Objective 1: During the grant year, coordinate with l.aw enforcement as
measured by:
a. The number of requests for assistance with searches.
b. The number of meetings attended with task force members for
the purpose of any of the following:
1) Identifying probation violators
2} Arrest strategies for drug offenders
3) Assistance in arresting probation violators.
Activities: '
The Probation Department Special Drug llnit, as described in
Strategy Dne, will co-ordinate closely with law enforcement,
especially the Butte Interagency fVarcotics Task Force and C.A.M.P.
in searches and arrests. The possibility of abtaining such a Special
unit for Probation has already generated considerable enthusiasm
among both prt~bation staff and law enforcement narcotic officers.
It is anticipated that the number of ca-aperation searches
would increase several fold within the first three months. The
number of related arrests and convictions can be expected to increase
in similar fashion. Experience has shaven that such searches fre-~
quently result in either "on the scene" arrests of individuals
besides the probationer or the obtaining of information and evidence
which will lead to future charges against other offenders.
Additional, interagency training will be providEd to facilitate
increased efficiency and officer safety during search and arrest
operations. A record keeping system will be established for such

Ob~.,ective 2; During the grant year, assist local law enforcement in the
identification and apprehension of probation violators as measured by:
The number of violations reported to the court.
Activities•
The close, daily working relationship between unit probation
officers and law enforcement will facilitate the identification
and apprehension of probation violators. The inclusion of all drug
related probationers (along with conditions of their probation),
as well as similar offenders under the supervision of state and
federal agencies, 11590 H&S registrants and other information should
significantly increase the discovery of violators and their return
to Court.
As previously Hated, a weekly, updated print-out of this
data is planned for all project enforcement agencies as wall as
24-hour per day access for information ors specific individuals.
Special effort will be made to monitor the use and effectiveness
of this system as, if found to be of significant benefit, it might
well serve as a model for other agencies and jurisdictions.
Due to the operation of the task force in areas and situations
where armed and potentially violent offenders are increasingly
encountered, defensive weapons, along with appropriate training
in use and liability, will be provided. The availability of two-way
~-' radio communications, especially in the more remote'°~areas of the
county, will be another important factor in officer safety as well

warrants or indictments, and arrests of individuals charged
with drug offenses as measured by:
a. The number of warrants or indictments issued.
b. The number of arrests.
- c. The number of arrestees with prior drug

Activities'
The law enforcement agencies involved in the Butte
County Anti-Drug Program (as listed in the Project Summary:
"Participating Agencies, Pages B-4B) will provide the
necessary assistance and backup to the Probation Narcotics
Task Force in implementing 5each and Testing clauses.
Currently Butte County Probation tracks approximately
300 drug offender cases, most with Search and Testing clauses
contained in court mandated probation orders. At this time
testing is limited to only the most seriau ar obvious cases
due to a shortage of funds far xegular drug screening. Based
on field experience, we believe that a Probation Narcotics
Task Force and adequate drug testing will yield, at any give
time, approximately 50-60 pexcent 4].50 -165~individuals)
currently using narcotics. Again, based on past field
experience, a search of the premises of many of thaw found to
be "dirty" will yefld additional evidence leading to criminal
indictments on additional changes. A conservative estimate of
additional crimes committed by active probationers is 4~
_.... _
percent, or an additional 6E1 cases.
We further anticipate that probation initiated
contacts with adequate testing will yeild information and
evidence resulting in criminal charges against other
individuals not currently on probation ar charged with drug or
drug-related offenses. We consezvatively estimate 20-30
additianal arrests/year as a consequence.
In many of these additianal cases it wi11 be necessary
to call far law enforcement backup, particularly in the event
of suspected methamphetamine production where the past several
years have Shawn produceres/suppliers to be heavily armed.
Although the basis of this proposed program is anchored in the
Probation Department's Court mandated authority, the
involvement of law enforcement will play an active role in
safely securing individuals, maintaining security, and
safguarding the chain o~ evidence.
In the event of anticipated trouble, and in all cases of
armed resistance, law enforcement/probation lfason will be
maintained through the Crnville PD's new OCJP-funded computer
facility. This computer, with its attending crime analyst and
appropriate software, will set up and maintain a special drug
and drug-related file where it will be possible to link all
known information an suspected drug and drug-related, incidents
and persons. These files wi11 be updated as new information
is supplied by Butte County's law enforcement agencies,
probation department, and court system, and cross-checked with
NCIC. The ~roville PD has also agreed to act as a central
information clearinghouse and dispatch center to coordinate
law enforcement support activities for the Probation Narcotics
Task Force.

cases/year stemming from newly substantiated, drug-related
criminal activity.
The increase of personnel time to identify and catalogue
new evidence for prosecution will be considerable. This
proposal requests funds for a grant-funded Evidence Technician
who will be responsible for all evidence stemming from the
pra~ect's activities. The evidence Technician will be located
in the Butte County sheriff's Department. This person will
also provide assistance, where requested, to all law
enforcement agenices cooperating in the project and will be
responsible for developing and staring evidence confiscated in
- these jurisdictions. The Evidence Technician will prepare
regular reports an evidence seized to assure complete
reporting of project activities to the funding agency.
The Evidence Technician will be on call to deal with
those project activities that da not fall in the normal
working hours, and this individual will be assigned to work
closely with prosecutors and related investigators to ensure
necessary evidence is preserved and made available for
presentation in the courtroom. With the cooperation enabled
by this grant, and with careful documentation, we expect that
30~ percent of cases referred by the Probation Task Farce and
law enforcement investigation will result in cases filed for
prosecution, new convicitions, and sustained violations of
probation. We anticipate, also, that grant funding will
permit a greater use and enforcement of Search and Testing

information campaign to enhance the public's ability to
recognize drug-related activity. The project will provide the
public with the necessary information and telephone numbers to
report any suspicious behavior to appropriate authprities.
This effort is not without historical precedent. The
proposed public information campaign will parallel a similar,
successful, campaign by the State sponsored CAMP program where
a series of billboards was placed throughout the county. This
has resulted in information leading to the detection and
eradication of several marijuana plantations, including one of
over 3000 plants.
Additional efforts will be directed through cooperation
with local media and public service announcements. We
anticipate a significant level of cooperation at the outset
and we hope that protect success and the continuing
participation of local media will maintain public awareness
regarding the problems associated with drug-related behavior
and the avenues available for reporting illegal conduct.

enforcement personnel on topics relating to the enhanced
operation of anti-drug abuse pro3ects as measured by:
a. The number of training session conducted.
b. The number of officers trained.
c. The number of instructor hours.
Activities
In an effort to increase probation and law enforcement
preparedness, the project requests funds to provide necessary
training to project personnel. Participating Probation
Officers will be required to attend in a series of
professional training programs, including the P05T approved
Narcotic Enforcement for Peace Officers, Lab Investigation,
and Undex the Influence classes. In addition, these Officers
will be required to participate in courses necessary to meet
State of California requirements under Penal Cade 832. These
courses will include training in Laws of Arrest, Search and
Seizure, and Firearms.
Additional field training will be provided to Officers of
participating Law Enforcement agencies. Training will occur on
a quarterly basis and be coordinated with regulax training
~a r
schedules. Training wi11 also be offered to appropriate
personnel-fram the U.S. Department of Forestry, Califarnia
Aepartment of Fish and Game, and other agencies deemed
appropriate. Training will include subject matter on parapher-
nalia and drug recognition, detection and dismantling of
methamphetamine labs, development of outside informants,
recognition of the physical signs attributed to drag use and
abuse, and testimony in court. This training will be
developed and implemented with the assistnce of the Hutte
County Department of Probation, participating Law Enforcement
Agencies, the County District Attorney's Office, the Butte
Intezagency Narcotics Task Force, and local drug abuse
prevention programs.
The grant-funded Evidence Technician will also receive
necessary training in the identification, catologing and
staring of drug related evidence.
Registers will be maintained at each training session

Objective 5 (optional}: During the grant year, disrupt the
production of illegally manufactured drugs as measured by:
a. The number of clandistine laboratories dismantled.
b. The amount and type of equipment, and the amount
and type of precursoz chemicals identified for use
in clandestine drug manufacturing.
c. TYie dollar value of clandestine drug manufacturing
equipment seined.
Activit~ep_:
We anticipate instances when an investigation by the
Probation Narcotics Task Force will result in the discovery of
clandestine drug manufacturing. Through the additional
development of an informant system and a systematic exercise
of court mandated Probation search and testing clauses an
increase of at least 5th percent in i~.legal lab discovery is
expected. During 1980 a fatal of 15 methamphetamine
laboratories, of a BINTF estimated 50-1Q0 existing labs, were
shut down throughout Butte County.
The grant-funded Evidence Technician will identify all
evidence seized by pxoject personnel as to the amount and
type of equipment, precursor chemicals, illegal drug„r products,
and the estimated retail and street value of the materials
confiscated. Forms and records will be devalaped to meet
project mandated reporting and evaluation criteria.
On those occasions where evidence personnel from a law
enforcemnt agency prefer to handle a crime scene within its
jurisdictional boundaries, the project's Evidence Technician
will be provided paraXlel information far project information
purposes All relevant crime information will be shared with
the Ornville PD's crime analyst and be fed into the project's
narcotics crime file for the permanent record.
In those cases where particular items of evidence cannot
be identified as to the type of drug, chemical, or equipment,
the expertise of qualified caunsultants and laboratories will
be used.
This project has also prepared itself far the expenses
associated with the disgosai and/ar storage of hazardous
chemicals found in connection with uncovered drug labs.
Because of strict State and Fedezal regulations governing
storage and disposal of hazardous chemicals, additional costs
are expected to occur.

The anticipated increased caseload of 150~revocation
hearings and another fi0-100 new cases developed from the
informant network created by a Probation Narcotics Task Force
will further strain an already overburdened system. The Hutte
County Municipal and Superior Courts are not fully automated
and, under the present system, there is marginal staffing
in the clerical support areas.
There are no current baseline data to determine the
number of backlogged cases. The existing clerical support is
currently behind in maintaining current services. With grant
funded addition clerical personnel and overtime, and the
recruitment of interns from nearby California State
University, Chico, baseline data may be collected and analyzed
from past records. Forward tracking of all drug related
offenses from the start-up of the proaect will then provide a
limited comparison of the new case load to a caseload of the
prior year(s).
In the best estimation of court management, the
present situation is overloaded such that giving priority to
targeted offenders will increase, rather than decrease, the
difficulty in processing general criminal cases within the
mandated time frames. Thus, in order to cooperate in
a meaningful way with the proposed project, the Butte County
Court system is requesting a modest sum to cover additional
personnel expenses anticipated as a result of the proaect.
Provision of funds to cover extra help and overtime,
estimatred at 25hours/week for each of the three County
Courts, wi11 allow priority targeting. We may anticiapte,
additionally, that priority targeting of drug offenses will
relieve the backlog of eases in ether criminal matters.
The equipment requested to facilitate the program axe
a personal camputez for each of the Municipal Courts and an
electric typewriter {with memory) for the Superior Court's
criminal division.
The extra help and the additional equipment will
permit the scheduling and tracking of all drug related
offenses within the project time period as a specific

standards during the grant period.
Activities
There are currently no baseline data to determine
present time-to-disposition standards. The addition of extra
personnel and equipment should facilitate the prompt and
accurate processing of Court documents and schedulings of
court dockets. With the cooperation of interns recruited from
the University, baseline data can be generated on cases
meeting time~to-disposition standards far a year prior to the
project's onset. Project data many then be compared to the
prior year's data.

PRQGRAM STRATEGIES, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Ob~ective_3_: During the grant year, reduce the number of
continuances as measured by:
a. The number of continuances during the previous
twelve-month period was ~QT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE .
b. The number of continuance during the grant year.
Activities•
As in the previous strategies, timely preparation and
delivery of necessary records and documents will reduce the
requests and need far continuences, By setting up a priority
tracking system of targeted drug offenders we anticipate there
will be a reduction of stand-by time incurred by other project
personnel, allowing them, thereby, to allocate time more
efficiently to other pro3ect activites.
Again, the tracking of the protect offenders through
the pro3ect period will pzowide a project specific database to
compare with fatal court caseload and drug offense related
caseload continuances in prior years}.

ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
INSTRUCTIONS: Describe the administrative organization of the project. For
all projects involving more than one agency. describe how the~praject will be
organized to ensure coordination. The organizational description must be
reflected in the Operational Agreement (see Appendix E, page 49). Attach an
organization chart. The Organizational. Description must not exceed three,
Bauble spaced typed pages.
The County Board of Supervisors will be the governing board
for the project. The chief probation officer will serve as the
project director and work closely with the administrators of other
participating;~agencies who make up the management advisory board.
The advisory board and director will monitor project direction and
effectiveness as well as assuring coordination and cooperation among
their participating staffs. The board will also be available to
deal with any problems which cannot be resolved at a lower level.
Project coordinator will be the deputy chief probation officer
who will maintain regular contact with appropriate staff or ether
agencies to facilitate project unity, training and effort. The
coordinator will also provide supervision for the probation department
anti-drug unit and report to the director on project functioning.
As shown on the accompanying organization chart, project funded
staff will be arrayed in a primarily lateral working arrangement.
Tatra-agency coordination can thereby be conducted largely, on a
"same level" basis while traditional, vertical supervision and
accounting will be maintained within individual units and departments.

OPERATIONAL AGREEMEl~T FOR BUTTE DRUG SUPPRESSi(~~i PROGRAM
We the undersigned affirm that our agencies will participate in
the Butte Drug Suppression Program by serving an the Management Advisory
Board and cooperating with all the involved agencies and administrators
in carrying out program objectives. The Chief Probation Officer will
serve as project director as well as serving on the Management Advisory
Board. All involved law enforcement agencies will share appropriate
information and intelligence relating to illegal drug activities with
participating agencies and also assign personnel to participate in program
related searches, surveillance and arrests within their jurisdiction.
Upon mutual aid request, personnel will also be provided to assist in
such operations whin conducted in other jurisdictions. Emphasis will
be placed on having officers cooperate fully with prosecution, probation,
and court agencies in establishing procedures which will promote prompt
and appropriate prosecution and sentencing of targeted offenders.
The Oroville Police Department will receive from the Probation
Department and other participating agencies information on known drug
offenders and related data for maintenance and distribution through the
Departments O.C.O.P, funded data processing center. Updated printouts
of such information will be sent to participating enforcement and prose-
cuting agencies on a weekly basis. Access to this data bank will also
be available on a 24-hour per day basis for participating agencies.
The Probation Department Deputy Chief will serve as project
coordinator and wank with involved agencies in maintaining project unity
and efforts. The department will submit weekly updates to the Oraville
Police Department data bank with respect to changes an d. additions on
~.t
probationers and divertees targeted in the project. The Probation Department
2
will also coordinate with State and Federal parole and probation agencies
for inclusion of appropriate offenders under their supervision, residing
in butte County, for inclusion in the data bank. The Probation Department
will maintain close surveillance, including weekends and evenings, and
testing of targeted offenders. The Department will also keep participating
enforcement agencies apprised of and request their assistance in appropriate
activities within their jurisdictions. Probation Officers will also
provide to the Narcotics Task Force and other law enforcement officers
additional information, including associates, automobiles and other data,
which is obtained in the surveillance of known and suspected drug offenders.
The District Attorney's Office will cooperate with other participating
agencies in giving priority to prosecution of targeted offenders.
Assistance and training will be provided to law enforcement and probation
agencies to assist in their conducting of investigations and arrests
which will result in sound cases and convictions. When appropriate,
investigator and/or attorney staff will also be assigned to participate
in or do on-the-scene follow-up in arrests and investigations of targeted
offenders.
Butte County Courts will cooperate fully with all involved agencies,
including prosecution, probation and law enforcement, in order to facilitate
prompt and thorough processing of drug and drug related criminal cases
within our jurisdiction.
All participating agencies will provide information and training
to insure that staff have adequate knowledge and ability to carry aut
program objectives. Appropriate supervisory and administrative staff
will also be made available to meet and communicate with their counter
parts in other agencies to resolve problems and facilitate a continuing,
unified effort in the reduction of illegal drug production and trafficking
which adversely affects the population of Butte County and many other

This is to indicate our support for your application
for Federal Anti-Drug Abuse Act Interdiction funds.
The program that you and the other criminal justice
folks have put together is a critical componant to the
overall Butte drug abuse effort. As you know, Butte
County is already the "meth" capitol of California.
Our treatment system is inundated with people experi-
encing problems with this drug.
Your Project has the potential to have a major effect
on the "supply" side of the supply and demand eQuatian.
While initially we will expect an increase in the need
far treatment services, the long term effect will reduce
treatment service needs. We we~.came that trade-off.
We Look forward to cooperating with--you in this Project.
Sincerely,
Ted Klemm

ADDITIONAL BUDGET UU5TI~ICATION
" MOTQR VEHICLES
There are currently no agency vehicles available for regular use
by county probation officers who are paid mileage for the use of personal
vehicles. However, it was recently established that there is a lack
of insurance coverage if private vehicles were used to transport persons
in custody as probation task farce officers might need to do on occasion,
More significant is the problems which would be incurred if project
radios were mounted in officers' personal, family use vehicles,
Task farce officers will be operating at various hours of the day
and night, and often in remote areas. Such radio communications will
be significant not only in officer safety in obtaining back-ups but
also in coordinating activities with other project agencies. The lease
costs included are in line with the relatively high mileage which the
vehicles would incur in carrying out project objectives.
The district attorney's office has several cars which are occupied
in current department activities. An additional investigator, working
full time on this project, would need a separate vehicle and communi-
cations capability with other agencies.
SAW ENFORCEMENT OVERTIME
The activities of the probation task farce will often involve the
supervision and search of hostile and violent individuals. l.aw
enforcement back-up and assistance will often be critical to safety
as well as securing evidence in such cases. This is especially true
when searches take the farm of "raids" on suspected major drug operations
where numbers of armed suspects may be encountered. Officers from all
four city police departments and the sheriff's department, as well as
personnel from these agencies specifically assigned to the Interagency
Narcotics Task Force, will participate in such activities.
Along with "on the scene" involvement in securing the premises,
and assisting in searches and arrests, officers may be expected to spend
additional time in transport and booking of arrestees and evidence as
well as in prepa~`ing reports. In some instances participating. officers
may be required to spend time in court testifying in probation violation
hearings as well as on initial charges.
poring the past year, over 200 firearms along with other weapons
and explosives, have been confiscated during the course of drug arrests
in Butte County. Until a major reduction and deterrence can be affected
on county drug operations (which this prflject has been designed to
accomplish) it is anticipated that such weaponry, including submachine
guns and other full automatics, will continue to be encountered. The
ability to marshal sufficient numbers of trained officers is critical
to the success and safety of project operations under existing conditions.
HAZARDOfJS WASTE DISP05R~ --
There are both state and federal regulations that must be adhered
to in the handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials. A
percentage of the searches to be conducted by the probation department
will result in the discovery of clandestine laboratories for the manu-
facturing of methamphetamines along with other illegal drugs. These
operations include the use of flammable, corrosive ar explosive materials.
As required by law, these materials must be transported, stored and
destroyed separate and apart from other evidence confiscated. Depending
on the needs of the district attorney's office and court requirements,
situations will arise that require the long-term storage of these materials
for future use in•prosecutian.
Based on estimates from command personnel of the state sponsored
Butte Interagency Narcotic Task Force the probation task force component
alone will result in the probable detection, dismantling, storage and
disposal of at least 5 major clandestine laboratories with the cost
per lab running approximately $6,000 per. It is for this purpose that
$30,000 has been reserved for the costs associated with the discovery
of illegal clandestine laboratories. All guidelines as set down by
federal and state agencies governing the handling of hazardous materials
will be adhered to.
RECURDS RND EVIDENCE TECHNICIH,.~ -
The major justification far this position lies in the expected influx
of project related evidence and activities that can be expected once
the program moves into action.
_.. The position of the Records and Identification Technician will
be responsible for working with the Butte Anti-Drug Program personnel
in the securing of a crime scene as it relates to preservation of evidence
and found property; assisting in the maintenance of the evidentiary
chair; assigning property inventory numbers and entering evidence in
property Togs; transporting, maintaining and disposing of evidence and
property obtained in project operations.
Due to the la-rge amount of evidence that often is secured in drug
related offenses the position of the Records and Evidence Technician
must be flexible 'with the ability to respond to crime scenes that have
large amounts of evidence that must be identified, tagged and transported
before involved personnel may leave the scene. Existing evidence personnel
with the sheriff's department are barely adequate to deal with current
activities. The position requested under this grant will not only deal
with project related evidence secured at the sheriff's department but
also be utilized to assist all other participating agencies in field
operations as well as in providing training to other personnel in evidence
related procedures.
