PROJECT SUMMARY
This section must include a brief description (not exceeding one page) of the proposed project
You must use at least a 10 or 12 pitch or point type.
The South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force is in it's sixth year of T.N.C.P. funding.
The SPR`:TF will continue a regional effort among rural and urban law enforcement agencies
to enhance the law enforcement capabilities in curbing narcotics trafficking in our eleven
county region of the South Plains region of Texas.
The South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force serves a largely rural area made up of small
towns and cities. Without the SPRIT:, these areas do no have the fiscal means, manpower,
or the expertise to address the growing narcotics problems in their areas
The Lubbock Police Department's South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force is the only
agency in our region of the state capable of fulfilling the mission of the Texas Narcotics
Control Program through multi -jurisdictional, multi -county drug task forces.

REQUIRED BUDGET NARRATIVE: Describe the basis for arriving at the oost of each line item. Provide
justification and explanation of use. Use additional pages as needed.
The South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force conducts many investigations in rural areas
of our region. This necessitates monitoring officers to post longer distances away from
the transmitter. As the distance iicreases from the transmitter more power is required to
maintain signal strength. If officers have to move in to close their presence may jepordize
the investigation. Currently our unit has transmitters in the 230 -MW and the 30%W range
that are not up to transmitting over longer distances. With the addition of a one watt
transmitter monitoring officers can maintain clearer signal strength at the longer ranges.
This also insures clearer reception and enhances officer safety without compromising the
investigation.
The price of the transmitter was furnished by vendor. (A.I.D.)

1. Problem Statement
The South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force (S.P.R.N.T.F.) is based in Lubbock, Lubbock
County, Texas, and serves eleven counties in the South Plains region. The most
significant problems that the SPRNTF addresses is the inability of rural towns and
counties to effectively combat the drug problem within their jurisdictions. Smaller
agencies lack the resources and training to effectively investigate and enforce the drug
laws within their communities. The SPRNTF provides these resources and expertise for
these agencies. Besides training and the fiscal resources, SPRNTF provides the necessary
manpower for covert operations, which are impossible for the smaller agencies to conduct
within their communities.
The South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force serves the following counties in the South
Plains Region; Bailey, Crosby, Dickens, Floyd, Garza, Hale, Hockley, Lamb, Lubbock, Lynn
and Motley. The population in this region of the South Plains is approximately 348,000
people within an area of 10,200 square miles. Within these counties are approximately 50
separate law enforcement agencies. The City of Lubbock, itself, has a papulation of
approximately 200,000 people. Drug traffickers fan out from Lubbock and Supply many of
the rural communities in the South Plains.
Marijuana and Cocaine, especially "Crack" Cocaine, are the major drug problems within our
region. The SPRNTF consistently seizes more of these drugs and makes more arrests for
these drugs. SPRNTF has seen a resurgence in methamphetamine trafficking in our region.
SPRNTF, DPS, and DEA are currently conducting an OCEDTF investigation regarding this
resurgence. we are seeing more and more meth being supplied from California and Mexico,
with Mexican Americans being the major suppliers. Resources and training are once again
the reasons the SPRNTF is needed to deal with these problems.
The SPRNTF enjoys an excellent working relationship with the DEA and DPS in our region.
DEA targets the larger drug traffickers, which for the most part are not located in the
rural areas. DEA will assist the SPRNTF whenever asked and will become directly involved
when larger quantities of drugs are involved. With new mandates from Washington, DEA is
now becoming more involved with violent drug activities even at "Street level".
The SPRNTF acts as a central repository for intelligence information regarding drug
traffickers in our region. The SPRNTF has the computer facilities necessary to maintain
and update this information that the rural communities do not have.
The SPR.NTF and DPS target "Street level" and "Mid-level" drug traffickers. For the most
part, the SPRNTF and DPS are the only organizations targeting the smaller drug dealers in
our region. The SPRNT's and DPS's basic duties and responsibilities often overlap.
However, through cooperation and communication we don't duplicate efforts. We usually
assist each other in these investigations often times exchanging intelligence information
and combining manpower to bring a successful end to these joint investigations.
CJIi-11 Issued IM4
A) Assist rural law enforcement agencies in the investigation and elimination of
illicit drug activities within the communities,
This goal will be accomplished through covert operations by SPRNTF, in cooperation with these
_ocal agencies, by providing resources and equipment. SPRNTF will provide intelligence
;.nformation to these rural agencies. SPRNTF will assist these rural agencies in gathering
intelligence about the drug activities in their communities. Through the interaction between
SPRNTF and the smaller agencies, on-the-job training is provided for personnel in these rural
agencies.
SB) Target, investigate and arrest drug violators and seize assets used in the
commission of illegal drug activity.
This goal will be accomplished through covert investigations; utilization of informants to
purchase drugs and gain entry into illicit drug operations; gathering and sharing intelligence
.with law enforcement agencies within the region and those outside our region; working with DEA,
DPS, and other law enforcement agencies as a team on drug problems within our region,
C) Assist those individuals who need and desire drug rehabilitation help.
_his is accomplished by encouraging those individuals to seek rehabilitation and then referring
-:gem to the proper rehabilitation agencies.
{D} To educate the general public on drug laws, drug activity and drug problems
.his is accomplished through presentations to schools, civic groups, churches, and less formal
interaction with community members. When asked, the members of the SPRNTF gladly make
zresentations to any communities within our region.
The SPRNTF consists of eight employees who are all City of Lubbock Police Officers and the
Project Director who is a City of Lubbock Police Captain. These officers receive all training
that is required by the State and the Lubbock Police department. This training consists of
community and minority relations, sexual harassment training, and other cultural awareness
training. They operate under the rules and procedures of the Lubbock Police Department and are
ultimately responsible to the Chief of Police. The six individuals who are supported by the
"Grant" are one Lubbock Police Sergeant, One Corporal and six investigators. The Sergeant
supervises the Corporal and the investigators. The Sergeant acts as operations and
administrative supervisor. The Corporal acts as a temporary supervisor in the absence of a
Sergeant. Everyone on the SPRNTF, Sergeant, Corporal and investigators, carry an investigative
case load.
The SPRNTF has been in operation since 1988. It is comprised entirely of City of Lubbock Police
officers. These officers have been well trained in drug enforcement operations. The Task Force
Commander has been with the SPRNTF since 1990. The Project Director has been with the SPRNTF
since 1990. Based on experience, training and the full support of the Lubbock Police
Department, the SPRNTF is a very capable and successful drug enforcement organization.
Statistical data can be collected and compared with other data, but it is very difficult to
measure the true impact of this program. Statistical comparisons regarding arrest, drug
seizures, cases initiated, and cases closed yield conclusions as to performance. However, it is
difficult to measure impact. Prior to the formation of SPRNTF, the rural communities in the
Pleven county region had no drug enforcement to speak of. DFS has only six agents to cover
=wice the area of the SPRNTF. Therefore, I believe that the SPRNTF provides an indispensable
service to the 350,000 people and eleven counties it serves. The teamwork between SPRNTF, DPS,
and DER has had a positive impact on the ccRmunities. If the SPRNTF were to cease to exist,
there is no agency capable of taking up the drug enforcement effort in this part of the state.
Within the corporate limits of the City of Lubbock, the SPRNTF works with the Zoning Department
in efforts to have "Crack houses" condemned or demolished. This relationship began in 1992 and
has resulted in an entire apartment complex being closed because of the "Crack" trafficking
going on there. The SPRNTF is targeting other areas in the city for similar civil action.
CJD -12 Issued 10194
3. Fva:uation Design
The SPRNTF is evaluated by the Project Director, the Chief of Police for the City of Lubbock and.
-he Criminal Justice Division of the State of Texas. The evaluations are based for the most
part on statistical data reported to C.J.D. such as arrest, drug seizures, and property
seizures. Feedback and impact from the other agencies we serve will be another evaluation tool
For SPRNTF. Their satisfaction or dissatisfaction is very important in the evaluation process.
The Project Director will continue to analyze cost and resource allocation to ensure that money
and resources are deployed in an efficient manner.
Keeping in mind the SPRNTF is made up of only eight officers, statistical evaluation with regard
to statistical data should provide a positive insight regarding the cost/value relationship.
Turing 1994, the City of Lubbock has added two non -grant funded investigators to the Task Force.
This increases manpower in the task force by 34% thereby providing a greater impact on drug
=rafficking in our region. over the years, the SPRNTF has continued and will continue to
-Drovide efficient and professional narcotics enforcement even during times of ever tightening
-Budget constraints.
CJI3`13 Lssued 14M
4. Statistical and Baseline Data
The South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force is made up of 6 grant funded investigators, 2
non -grant funded investigators, 1 non -grant funded Task Force Commander and 1 non -grant funded
Project Director, who are all sworn peace officers. In our eleven county service area, only two
counties, Hale & Lubbock, have more officers than the Task Force. Of the 15 largest cities in
our service area, only 5 have more sworn peace officers than our Task Force. (FSI UCR Report
1993). These figures reflect numbers that include the Chief Executive officer down to the
newest rookie. Five of the 11 counties have fewer than 5 deputies to cover thousands of square
miles. It is evident that none of the counties or cities have the manpower to support their own
narcotics units. These rural counties are thinly populated and everyone knows everyone else, so
undercover operations are impossible.
With small departments, budgets are proportionally small. with no money to devote to the
purchase of drugs or to pay an informant. The area of the state needs the South Plains Regional
Narcotics Task Force.
From May, 1993 to June, 1994 SPRNTF arrested 181 persons resulting in 216 charges while
initiating 150 cases. From June, 1994 to Jan., 1995 SPRNTF has already initiated 149 cases and
arrested 140 persons. With the increase in manpower of 34%, we anticipate a proportionate
,ncrease in case load, arrests, and seizures for grant year 95-96.

EEO/Affirmative Action
Policy Statements
It is the policy of the City of Lubbock to be fair and
equitable in all its relations with its employees and
applicants for employment without regard to race, color,
religion, creed, sex, age, national origin, disability, or
marital status.
The City of Lubbock continues to be committed to the
concept of equal employment opportunity; that all
persons shall be afforded equal access to positions in the
public service limited only by their ability to do the job.
Equal opportunity can best be effected through defini-
tive programmed Affirmative Action. If progress
toward achieving equal employment opportunity is to be
made, every employee must realize that policies to
remove inequalities cannot be merely passive. Positive
steps must be taken to remove conditions which could
result in unlawful employment discrimination.
The major emphasis of this Affirmative Action Plan is to
continue to remove artificial employment practices that
could operate disadvantageously for an identifiable
Protected group of persons and to apply good faith
efforts to seek out, employ, train and promote those

General Objectives of the
EEO/Affirmative Action Policy
1. To achieve employment levels for protected
group members throughout the classes of posi-
tions in City employment in proportion to their
availability in the relevant labor force. This will
be achieved though targeted recruitments and
increased hiring, promotion and training of these
protected groups.
Sex, race or disability may be considered as one
factor in the hiring or promotion process in those
job classifications where they are
underrepresented, and where it does not unnec-
essarily trammel the rights of other applicants or
employees for the position_
2. To prevent the occurrence of any arbitrary,
unnecessary and artificial practices affecting
protected group members by examining person-
nel transactions and enforcing the use of relevant
employment practices.

(federal funds) must secure the same certification form the prospective contractor. The latter certifications
must accompany the contract which, by separate requirement, is sent to CJD for approval.
Age ncIes/organizations must base their certification upon a review of the monthly publication "Lists of Parties

prepared by the U.S. General Services Administration, to confirm that the agency/organizatioa or its officers
are not ineligible. Attached hereto is an information shoot that explains the usage of the "Lists of Parties..."

E. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MANDATORY ALCOHOL AND
DRUG TESTING PROCEDURES FOR ALL COMMERCIAL DRIVERS
LICENSE (C.D.L.) DRIVERS.
This policy applies to all drivers who are required to have a C.D.L. to
operate City equipment greater than 26,000 pounds or a farm unit greater
than 10,000 pounds, a vehicle designed to carry 16 or more passengers,
a vehicle of any size transporting hazardous materials requiring placards,
will be included in the pool for random alcohol and drug tests. (Drivers of
fire equipment do not fall under this provision.)
Any supervisor that is considering an applicant for a job that requires a
C D L., must contact the desired applicant's prior employers to determine
whether he or she has tested positive for drugs or alcohol in the previous
two years. If so, the employer is precluded from using the driver until
certain qualifying conditions are met. The background check must be
completed within 14 days or the employer is precluded from allowing the
driver to drive.
1. Testing Methodology
a. In addition to the testing process discussed earlier, the
Department of Transportation requires employers to conduct
random, post -accident return -to -duty and follow-up drug and
alcohol testing.
Random annual testing for alcohol will be 25% of the total C.D.L.
driver population and 50% for drug testing. Each month, a
random sample will be drawn from the population of employees
subject to DOT Testing. This will be the duty of the Human
Resources Department. Those employee names drawn will be
subject to testing.
b. No operator shall be allowed to perform a safety sensitive
function if the result of a breath alcohol test has revealed a level
of greater than 0.02. In this case the driver shall be suspended
from performing any safety sensitive functions until the start of
the driver's next regularly scheduled duty period, but not less
than 24 hours following the administration of the test.
C. Refusal to submit to testing is a violation of this policy. The
following behavior constitutes a refusal:
1. Refusal to take the test.
2. Inability to provide sufficient quantities of breath or urine to
be tested without a valid medical explanation.
3. tampering with, or attempting to adulterate the specimen or
collection procedure.
4. No reporting to the collection site in the time allotted.
5. Leaving the scene of an accident without a valid reason
before the tests have been conducted.
d. Any driver that has a positive test result for controlled
substances shall not be permitted to perform any safety
sensitive function. A Medical Review Officer (M.R.O.) will review
test results for all substance abuse testing. The Medical Review
Officer will be supplied by the contractor for Substance Abuse
and Alcohol Testing. Prior to verifying a ",positive" result, the
M.R.0, shall make every reasonable effort to contact the drivers
(confidentially), and afford him/her the opportunity to discuss the
test results. If after making all reasonable efforts and
documenting them, the M.R.O. is unable to reach the driver
directly, the M.R.O. shall contact a designated management
official, who shall direct the driver to contact the M.R.O. as soon
as possible (within 24 hours).
Under split -sample collection procedures, the driver has 72
hours following notification of a positive result to request the
secondary sample to be analyzed. In the event a split -sample
was not taken, or was of inadequate quality, the original test
would be voided and the driver would not be subject to a retest.
e. Any driver who is subject to post -accident testing must remain
available, or the employer may consider the driver to have
refused to submit to testing. The driver subject to post accident
testing must refrain from consuming alcohol for eight hours
following the accident, or until he/she submits to an alcohol test,
whichever comes first.
2. Retum to but
Prior to returning to duty, any driver will be required to undergo a
return -to -duty alcohol test with a result indicating a breath alcohol
level of less than 01.02.
Any driver that has a positive test result for use of controlled
substances must undergo evaluation and prescribed treatment from a
Substance Abuse Professional (S.A.P.). The Substance Abuse
Professional will be available by appointment through the contracted
Employee Assistance Network contractor for the City of Lubbock.
The driver shall also be subject to unannounced follow-up testing.
The number and frequency of such testing shall be as directed by the
S.A.P., and consist of at least six tests in the first 12 months.
F. CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATION OF THIS POLICY.
Employees who violate this policy, or the prohibitions provided herein, are
subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge from
employment.
G. DRUG-FREE AWARENESS PROGRAM
The City of Lubbock will provide employees with information to warn
about the dangers of drug abuse. Information regarding the drug
counseling, treatment, rehabilitation, and other appropriate resources
available to employees will also be provided. All employees will receive a
copy of the Drug Free Workplace Policy upon employment with the City.
H. EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES
As a condition of employment, every employee will:
Abide by the terms of this policy, and
• Notify the supervisor of any criminal drug statute conviction for a
violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days
after such conviction.
