R(JL ~ S AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Butte County Inter-Agency Narcotics Task Force continues to play a major role in targeting and eradicating illegal narcotic activity in the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Butte County. BINTF acts as a central clearinghouse for intelligence gathering on narcotics activity in the state, and in Butte County specifically. As effective as BINTF was however, it became clear that a major component of law enforcement in Butte County had been overlooked in its formation: Butte County Probation Department. Butte County Probation often has the most up-to-date intelligence on narcotics offenders in the county. This information derives from probation's presentence investigations and other processes, including the routine collection of all manners of private & public source information, as well as drug testing by urinalysis. Unfortunately, due to an historical lack of resources and funding, Probation could not be in the field searching drug-involved probationers. However, BINTF was routinely encountering probationers at search warrant executions. When ADA funds became available, BASS (the Butte Anti-Drug Specialized Supervision Unit) was created to address this deficiency. By combining a probation officer-based team with the existing structure of BINTF; intelligence, search activity, and manpower were combined to address a wider variety of issues central to the drug problem in Butte County and northern California. Local law enforcement officials met again this year to discuss the utilization of the BASS team. The overall opinion was that the essential formula of BASS as an adjunct to BINTF was a successful combination, and that virtually no change was necessary. The unanimous decision of all parties present was that BASS should continue to conduct independent probation searches and related enfarcement activities in all areas of Butte County. Additionally, BASS, under the direct command of Special Agent Supervisor Martin Horan, Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement {Commander, BINTF}, should also work with BINTF in joint operations. Law enforcement officials agreed to continue to target neighborhood watch, drug free zone areas, and specific neighborhood problems, as done in the past year. BASS will continue to focus attention on citizen complaints about specific drug dealers in their neighborhoods, and will upgrade its support to local community policing efforts. In the past year a combination of search warrants, probation searches, and "knack and talks", proved successful in targeting drug offenders. This year the BASS steering committee has agreed upon the strategies and objectives that would best serve individual communities and the county as a whole. Strategies as outlined in the RFP were agreed upon by the steering committee, as were geographical locations as determined by citizen complaint. The BASS steering committee will again, through an operational agreement signed by all committee members, target the Strategies, Objectives, and Activities, at all levels in the apprehension, prosecution, and supervision of drug- involved offenders. On May 29, 1996 a Policy Board (Steering Committee) comprised of Helen Harberts, Chief Probation Officer; Mick Grey, Sheriff; and each Chief from the respective law enforcement agencies previously listed above, met for the purpose of developing acounty-wide drug enforcement plan, and to agree on strategies for targeting drug offenders and areas of greatest narcotics activity. Any Steering Committee members not in attendance at the meeting were individually consulted. The Steering Committee arrived at an Operational agreement that included in concept the following: (1) Utilize the Butte County Anti-Drug funds in the amount of $233,933 in a collaborative effort between the BASS team and BINTF. (2) Designate the Chief Probation Officer as the Project Director of the BASS team and the Probation Department as the lead agency. (3) Acknowledge and work toward enhancing and facilitating the cooperation between agencies in meeting Component Strategies, Objectives, and Activities, at all levels, in the apprehension, prosecution, and supervision of drug offenders. (4) Target street and mid-level drug offenders within the strategies and objectives as outlined in the RFP. {5) Expand Probation Officer knowledge and skill level through participation in the writing of, and execution of, search warrants and covert street-level drug surveillance. (6) Attention to be given to community complaints while enhancing the level of probationer surveillance. (7) Attend and participate in Policy Board meetings as scheduled. Policy Board meetings will be scheduled at least monthly unless a necessity exists for additional meetings. (8) Maintain and provide in a timely manner to the Project Director appropriate grant- related statistical, fiscal and other program data as required by the Office of Criminal Justice Planning andlor the Project Director. (9) Appropriate adequate personnel and services to meet the Component Strategies, Objectives, and Activities, as indicated in the grant application. (10) Maintain expenditures within the individual agency budget as submitted with the grant application or as amended at a later date by the BINTF Steering Committee, or the Office of Criminal Justice Planning. (11} Recognize that ail roles and responsibilities heretofore enumerated relate only to each agency's specific component Strategies, Objectives, Activities and Budget as identified in the grant application.

Gridley, Each of these communities is separated from the others by a minimum of 10 miles of rural area. Butte County is a poor county. Economic disadvantage is the norm. The County seat of Oroville is an Enterprise Zone, targeted by the State of California as an area of economic depression. Over 73°!0 of the population in Butte County receives same form of public assistance. The median family income is $13,800 lower than the state average income. One out of every four children in Butte County falls within a classification of living in extreme poverty. This rate is 10% higher than the national average. There is an extraordinary unemployment rate. As provided in last year's grant application, a random sample was taken of 50 Butte County felony probationers. These felony probationers were examined for the correlation between drug related criminal convictions and receipt of AFDC in Butte County. Seventy-eight percent of these probationers were receiving AFDC when they were arrested for the drug related crimes. The median age of those living in the county is 31.3 years, with females outnumbering males S 1 to 49%. Sixty-one percent of population is between 18 and 64 years of age. Fifteen percent of the population is 65 years and older. Twenty-four percent of the population is 0-17 years of age. The ethnic description of the county population is: 85°!o Caucasian 8°!o Hispanic 2.5% American Indian 3°!o Southeast Asian 1.5°!° African American However, the traditional demographics continue to change. Within the last 5 years, the traditional geographic locations of ethnic groups and their population representation has been changing. In particular, increases in the Hispanic/Latino and Asian communities have been identified. In the past, the Latino community was found in the agricultural areas on the west side of the county, generally out of the urban areas. Now, the Latino community is heavily present in Chico, and across the valley floor of the county. The Asian population was originally found in a localized area of Oroville. Asians in greater numbers have moved into Northern California and other Butte County communities as well, notably Chico. The Rural Drug Problem Butte County has a rich history of mining, lumber and agricultural industries. There are many small communities in the remote areas of the County which are abandoned mining or lumber sites. These areas are often 45 minutes to an hour away by car from the main population areas. In these unincorporated rural areas, houses, trailers or shacks are often placed on spurs coming from old logging or agricultural roads. Often there are no municipal or county services available. Often, power is nonexistent or supplied by generator. There are few road markers, addresses, or maps in these remote areas. Enticed and encouraged by a massive cutback in law enforcement in the mid 1970's, criminals flocked to Butte County, knowing that many of them would never see a Sheriff, Probation or Parole Officer near their home. They were right. For at least a generation, many criminals gathered in these areas of the county, making it a center for the manufacture of methamphetamine. Using abandoned mine shafts, out-buildings, logging roads, and their remote location, manufacturers could go undetected for many months or years. This has become an entrenched subculture within Butte County. Local law enforcement and social service agencies are frequently dealing with 2nd and even 3rd generation individuals who have grown up in loose, unstable families, where drugs, crime and violence is common place. Long before other counties ever saw or recognized methamphetamine as aprimary abused drug, Butte County was identifying and addressing a massive methamphetamine market, an addicted population, and the associated criminal activities. Butte County continues to lead in the seizure of metharnphetamine laboratories in the state because of the prevalence of the problem. Butte County also has a very active marijuana industry. With a favorable USGS zone, marked by a long warm growing season with moderate nighttime temperatures, Butte County is the perfect site for cultivators. After the aerial suppression efforts took effect in Butte County, many growers began to switch to indoor grows, in both the urban and rural areas. This criminal activity continues in all areas of Butte County. Butte County has recently added anon-ADA weapon to the battle against drugs, Drug Court. Butte County's Drug Court is a pilot project for an expedited case management system for Penal Code Section 1000 diversion. Utilizing incarceration, rapid court process, and treatment, Drug Court has proven to be a complimentary program to BASS. By balancing treatment of early offenders, and intensive supervision of chronic and serious drug offenders, Butte County is now addressing two major components of its drug problem. Both programs are demonstrating positive results in recidivism reduction. Drug Court is a collaborative effort of the Courts, Probation, Alcohol and Drug Services, the Sheriff, the District Attorney, and the defense bar. Drug Court was initiated with no additional staff or funding. Recently, a Federal Planning Grant was awarded to Butte County as part of the President's Crime Bill. It is hoped that through the use of this collaborative effort, Butte County can make an even greater impact on the ever growing drug problem. Drug Court can work through prevention, BASS can continue the enforcement impact it has on chronic and high risk drug-involved probationers. The Urban Area The population centers of Butte County are also heavily impacted by the rural drugs of choice, methamphetamine and marijuana, as well as the other traditional urban drugs: cocaine and heroin. The City of Chico is the home of California State University, Chico. The university serves a large, cash rich population of young people, many of whom come from major metropolitan areas. Students are drawn to the reputation of Chico as a beautiful and fun place to attend college. Regrettably, many of these young people also are drawn to the use of drugs. The students also support a very large service-based economy by their expenditures in the community. Many of these service-based businesses employ cheap labor. Laborers who work in the bottom of the economic strata for extended periods of time not uncommonly become involved in the use andlor sales of drugs as part of their living conditions. This further fuels the drug trade and crime in Butte County. In the Chico urban area, both forms of cocaine are bought and said with regularity. Cocaine hydrochloride (powder cocaine}, is most frequently found in the college population. It is heavily marketed by Latino drug dealers and college level drug suppliers. The use and trafficking of methamphetamine is also on the increase in the college population. Cocaine base, or "rock" is the cocaine of choice in many of the poorer sections of Oroville and Chico. Sold in the neighborhoods and on street corners at very low prices, rock cocaine is a major source of concern for neighborhoods and criminal justice. Butte County is experiencing an increased use of heroin as well. Once difficult to find in Chico, heroin is now commonplace. Ten years ago, this drug could only be found in certain houses, sold by other users, or sold in certain small communities. Now, it is quite easy to order and disappointingly easy to buy. Numerous runners with pager networks are available to deliver in minutes to most locations in the greater Chico area. There has been a marked increase in fatal overdoses in the past few years, revealing an increase in this traditionally "quiet" narcotics population. Recently published reports clearly point to a growing problem involving heroin use and adolescents. The City of Chico also has a significant illegal steroid problem. LSD and Ecstasy are very popular among school-aged and young people as well. These populations are difficult for law enforcement to address, as they are very closed and insular in nature. Far and away however, is the fact that all areas of Butte County are heavily affected by methamphetamine. Snorted, injected, eaten and smoked, methamphetamine is the most pervasive drug in Butte County. This drug is the source of many neighborhood complaints of trafficking. It is the source of much of Butte County's violence. Clandestine labs are seized from city neighborhoods and farm houses, storage facilities, hotel roams and cars. Like the rest of the State of California, and increasingly the nation, Butte County has been directly affected by the changes in the methamphetamine market as Latino drug dealers have undercut traditional suppliers and are taking over many of the local markets. Utilizing skills learned in the marijuana, cocaine and heroin trade, Latino drug dealers have focused on creating a diversified, exclusive wholesale supply of drugs. Consequently, prices have dropped, and amounts of the drug have increased. This trend has occurred statewide, and is being fueled exclusively by phenomena outside Butte County. Regardless of the source of this problem, local narcotics officers have been able to buy from Latino wholesalers who have been brokering between sources for lower per pound prices, literally in front of the officers. Based upon a review of juvenile probation reports and interviews with the Drug Court divertees, it is evident that polysubstance abuse in Butte County begins early. A large majority of Butte County juvenile offenders have drug difficulties. Often their parents or caregivers are drug-involved. Reports of drug use beginning at 9 to 12 years of age, and continuing throughout the teenage years, are common. Many of these drug-involved teenagers experience truancy and criminal problems. Some of them turn to selling drugs to support their habits. Because of this, they also contribute to the drug trade in Butte County. Additionally, Butte County has identified a growing gang problem. In each of the major population areas, gang activity is an the rise, with the concomitant drug trafficking, use and crime which results from gang activity. IMPACT STATEMENT Butte County as a governmental entity has teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. Financial resources for cities within the county are also severely challenged. Because of the low cost of living, Butte County has become a magnet for welfare recipients. The population of Butte County is 199,134 and the cities of Chico and Oroville are adding major service-based and shopping facilities. zooo 1600 a~ H (j1200 w 0 ~, v ~ 800 a z aoo 0 INCREASE IN PROBATION CASES OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Over the past ten (10) years, the Butte County Probation Department has not been funded to add one additional officer to a core of Supervision officers. These officers provide supervision of individuals placed on felony probation. Especially significant is the fact that the number of individuals placed on probation continues to increase, year to year. Using the same percent as identified in the random sample, approximately 80°l0 of these probation cases are drug related. Under these conditions, probation officers are kept from field supervision activities. Similarly, other law enforcement agencies have not been able to keep up with the surge in growth. Agencies experience excessive turnover due to low wages, or inability to hire due to budgetary restraints. Butte County utilizes a Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement supported county wide narcotics task force to address much of the drug trade in a collaborative fashion. This task force, called the Butte Interagency Narcotics Task Force (BINTF), has been very effective in addressing the issue of drugs in this diverse and challenging county. However, budgetary concerns have for several years kept one agency (the Paradise Police Department) from participating in the task force. As a means of assisting local law enforcement's community policing efforts, BASS plans during the next grant period include a number of joint operations to address drug-related problem neighborhoods and individuals. The ADA funds previously sent to Butte County were used to create the Butte Anti-Drug Specialized Supervision Unit (BASS). BASS is comprised of two Probation Officers, one Sheriffs Deputy, one District Attorney Investigator, and one Office Assistant III (clerical staff}. The BASS team continues to work cooperatively with all local law enforcement agencies while conducting an aggressive search strategy to monitor probationers in Butte County. The BASS unit is housed with and works as an adjunct to BINTF. Information is shared, and BASS participates fully in BINTF operations, in addition to their principle mission: probation searches. The search activity performed is facilitated by grants of formal probation, summary probation, O.R. release from the County jail, or the Sheriff's Work Alternative Program. BASS also assists local parole agents when needed. Without BASS seazch activities, many of these individuals would have previously been overlooked due to a lack of dedicated manpower. They are now being caught in violation of narcotic and other laws, and are prosecuted, or otherwise brought to the attention of the sentencing courts. In addition, BASS works closely with Children Services Division to insure the safety and well-being of children caught in the middle of drug activity. A CSD worker will many times request BASS accompany them to a residence where a searchable individual resides, or to a residence prior to returning a child. Last year one out of every three children taken from a home due to drug activity on the part of adults, tested positive for methamphetamine. CSD workers accompanying BASS on searches remove children from unsafe environments on an average of nine times per month. BASS presently does on an average 60 searches a month, which has begun to decline slightly, as arrests have increased. Officers are finding greater opportunity, and necessity to arrest, which in turn takes up more time to process. By all standards, the BASS unit, funded through ADA/OCJP funds, has been a raging success. Since its inception, probation violations and new arrests have soared. BASS arrests and activity now accounts for approximately mare than half of BINTF's total monthly statistics. Defense counsel, supervising probation officers, and the courts all directly warn probationers that they will be monitored by the BASS team during their probationary period. Probationers are verbally encouraged to deal with their drug addictions by treatment methods before BASS visits their homes. Further motivation is provided when BASS visits their homes. BASS has markedly improved the supervision of chronic and high risk drug offenders in Butte County, with a resulting increase in new arrests, convictions, imprisonment, and/or treatment. BASS has uncovered many new crimes during their search activity. They find clandestine labs, street dealers, mid-level dealers, wanted persons, child abuse, and other crimes while conducting probation searches. Finally, the probation department is realizing a projected 24% increase in the number of offenders failing to appear in court for violation proceedings (149 violation bench warrants in 1996, compared with 93 violation bench warrants for the first 6 months of 1997). To confront this problem BASS will begin specifically targeting drug-involved probationers with outstanding probation violation bench warrants. ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION Provide a narrative describing the project's organizational framework, listing all positions assigned to the project. The narrative must describe the relationship between the ADA Steering Committee, the components, project staff and other participating agencies. A flow chart depicting the chain of command of the project may also be included. The Butte Anti-Drug Special Supervision unit proposes an organization for funding which is designed to: 1} Coordinate overall prosecutorial, enforcement, and search activities related to probationers within the County of Butte; 2) Target street, mid-level, and major drug offenders within the geographic region for priority services from all participating components; 3) Develop a conscious anti-drug identity among participating agencies enhancing the existing task force and continuing to create new cooperative efforts; 4) Substantially reduce the impact of drug abuse in the geographic region. To accomplish the foregoing objectives, a Policy Boazd consisting of the participating agencies will continue to be utilized to provide overall direction for the organization, and will meet regularly as needed to receive reports from the Project Director (Butte County Chief Probation Officer) and the Project Coordinator (Butte County Operations Manager} and to make policy decisions relative to BASS, and grant funds. In addition all area agency Chiefs of Police are included as part of the Operational Agreement, and the plan for reducing drug-related crimes in their communities and the County of Butte. There will be five full-time and one part-time grant funded positions within BASS; two Deputy Probation Officers from Probation, a Deputy Sheriff, District Attorney Investigator, one Office Assistant III, and a Supervising Probation Officer working part-time as Grant Administrator. The Grant Administrator, working under the direction of the Policy Board through the Project Director, will have the overall coordination responsibilities for the organization. The Grant Administrator will, on a monthly or as-needed basis, meet with each of the three components to coordinate grant activities, the submission of accurate and timely grant statistics, and to monitor compliance with grant requirements. The Grant Administrator will also meet with $INTF and each member of BASS to facilitate communication between all law enforcement agencies and to monitor and collect statistical data. In addition to the formal coordination efforts, on a daily basis during the week and on an as-needed basis on the weekends, cross-component exchanges will occur while pursuing individual component responsibilities. w F- 0 w w N O w a, w d U w a, C7 x Q H w H LAW ENFORCEMENT COMPONENT Strategies and Objectives Strategy l: ~pe~~al Enforcement Operations- Narcotics Task Force (NTFI Objective 1: During the grant year, issue warrants and arrest individuals charged with drug or drug-related offenses as measured by: PROJECTED FY 97/9$ a) The number and type of project warrants issued 1) Arrest, and/or 13 2) Search; 8 b) The number of project drug arrests; and 90 c} The number of project arrests with prior convictions/adjudications 75 Objective 2: During the grant year, refer and file cases on individuals charged with drug and drug-related offenses as measured by: a) The number of project arrests with cases referred for prosecution/petition; and 90 b) The number of project arrests with cases filed for prosecutionlpetitioned. 70 OBJECTIVE l: Each officer assigned to the BASS team will work cooperatively with the others in providing information to increase the number of Probation searches, which in turn will increase the number of subjects arrested for being under the influence of a narcotic, being in possession of a narcotic, being in possession for sale of a narcotic, and/or manufacturing illicit narcotics. The Deputy Sheriffs statistics will continue to be compiled separately from those recorded by the team as a whole in order to provide a clear picture of the activities of the three {3) components of BASS. This grant application has accomplished that in full, therefore some of the numbers may be adjusted from that of the previous year. The objectives under the NTF Law Enforcement Strategy will be reflective of only those duties carried out by the Deputy Sheriff assigned to the BASS unit. The majority of all arrests indicated in the previous page will be the direct result of that Deputy Sheriff, unless specified, separately. Although each BASS team member may be present at searches as indicated in the previous page, only those searches attended by that law enforcement Deputy Sheriff assigned to the BASS unit will be reflected for statistical purposes. OBJECTIVE 2: The Sheriffs Deputy in conjunction with the BASS team will continue to conduct narcotic investigations involving the gathering of information from informants and subjects who have been arrested or involved in previous narcotic investigations. Each team member may be called upon to obtain consent for the search of specific locations. While conducting these searches, if contraband is found, any one team member may immediately arrest those subjects in control of the contraband. For statistical purposes reflected in the Law Enforcement Component, although any team member may be present, this objective will only reflect those referrals, and cases filed by the Deputy Sheriff member of the team. The team members may thus greatly increase the number of cases referred to the District Attorney's Office by immediately completing detailed arrest reports, and then requesting that charges be filed on said subjects. Each Team Member of BASS will work, as called upon, closely with the Deputy Sheriff assigned to the team, by understanding the needs of the Deputy District Attorney relative to the preparation of a narcotics case. The Deputy will complete detailed investigative reports and collect evidence at the scene of law violations in order for the District Attorney's Office to evaluate all present evidence against the violators. This activity will increase the number of cases filed by prosecutors. As previously indicated, although each separate member of the BASS team may be present in any of the strategies listed under the Law Enforcement Component, each member other than the Deputy Sheriff assigned will be indicated, and only those strategies directly involving the Deputy Sheriff assigned will be reflected for statistical information per the RFP, and in accordance with OCJP grant guidelines. PROSECUTION COMPONENT Objectives and Strategies Objective 1: During the grant year, track and prosecute project generated cases as measured by: PROJECTED FY9'7/98 a) The number of defendants convicted. 94 Objective 2: During the grant year, seek the most appropriate sentence commitment imposed on a convicted project defendant or adjudicated juvenile as measured by: a) The number of project defendants sentenced to incarceration/cammitment, and 75 b) The number of convictedladjudicated project defendants not sentenced to any period incarcerationlcommitment. 1 S Objective 3: During the grant year, provide specialized services to the task force as measured by: a) The number search warrants prepared or reviewed for project-related offenders, and 12 b) The number of probation revocations handled. 50 STRATEGY 1: a) Carefully review both the facts and the investigation of each case at the time of filing. b) Cooperate with law enforcement to ensure that there was no intention to use caseload defendants as informants in other cases. STRATEGY 2: a) As a matter of policy, the prosecution will continue to seek the most severe sentence authorized and appropriate for each convicted defendant by having motions in aggravation filed for sentencing on every appropriate case in the target caseload. In addition, the prosecution agrees to the fact that all applicable enhancements would be filed as part of the charging document on all cases within the target caseload. STRATEGY 3: a) The prosecution component will be available on call at all times to assist the task force in preparing search warrants far project-related offenders. It will continue to be law enforcement's responsibility to prepare search warrants; however, the prosecution component will provide consultant services and review warrants. b) The prosecution component will work closely with the probation components in providing legal assistance with affidavits for probation violations of project-related offenders. The $ASS team has a District Attorney Investigator assigned as part of the Prosecution Component. This individual will help in providing direct communication and support for the Deputy District Attorney assigned to prosecute the case. PROBATION COMPONENT Objectives and Strategies Objective l: During the grant year, assist law enforcement as measured by: PROJECTED FY97198 a) The number of field searches conducted with law enforcement; 600 b) The number of drug or drug-related probationers identified during joint operations with law enforcement; 150 c) The number of targeted offenders arrested; 90 d) The number of violation of probation arrest warrants served (not counted under (c}); 50 e) The number of probation revocations initiated; and 50 f) The number of probation revocations completed; 50 g) The number of joint operations with local community policing units of local law enforcement agencies throughout Butte County 6 STRATEGY 1: The BASS team is comprised of two Deputy Probation Officers, one Deputy Sheriff, one District Attorney Investigator, and one clerical support who work alongside other law enforcement officers assigned to BINTF. Each Probation Officer attends scheduled briefings with BINTF personnel to discuss intelligence from the narcotic community. The Deputy Probation Officers seek assistance from other BASS personnel assigned to conduct probation searches to insure compliance of court orders placed on convicted drug-involved offenders. Additionally, other probation supervision officers will seek the assistance of the BASS officers for the search of those adult drug offenders assigned to supervision caseloads within the Probation Department The BASS team members will continue to concentrate on problem areas throughout the county such as Drug Free Zones and Neighborhood Watch Programs that have been set up for the safety of children and adults in a drug free environment. Those individuals placed on probation far drug-related crimes now have an understanding that illegal activities will not go unchecked, and in fact will be strongly pursued, thanks to the funding received from OCTP, the efforts of the collaborative efforts of BINTF, and the BASS unit. Although not specifically stated in the RFP as a Strategy or Objective, the Probation Component will frequently randomly drug test targeted offenders to insure compliance with court orders. It is anticipated that up to 1,000 tests will be conducted during fiscal year 97/98 at a cost of $7.50 to $10.50 per test. The principle objective of searches performed by the two Probation Officers, aided by other team members or probation staff, will be to enforce terms and conditions of court ordered probation.
