About the Unit

The Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit is dedicated to reducing crime and improving neighborhood livability in our community. The unit focuses on three key areas:

  1. Disrupting and Dismantling Drug Trafficking
    We target mid- to high-level drug trafficking organizations in the region by arresting suspects, seizing illegal drugs, and confiscating drug-related proceeds.
  2. Investigating Drug Overdose Deaths
    The unit investigates drug overdose deaths when there are actionable leads that could result in the arrest of those responsible for supplying illegal drugs. Overdose deaths, particularly from heroin and synthetic opioids, are rising as more individuals shift from prescription opioids to cheaper alternatives like heroin and synthetic drugs.
  3. Supporting Patrol Precincts
    We assist patrol officers by providing investigative support to address neighborhood livability concerns.
