Agencies Combine Resources to Reduce Drug Problem
December 2, 2009
Yesterday, the Tallahassee Police Department’s Special Investigations Section combined resources with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office in an effort to reduce street level illegal narcotics sale and use. The effort is the result of citizen complaints of drug activity in their neighborhood. The Tallahassee Police Department and the Leon County Sheriff’s Office arrested 7 people as a result of the enhanced enforcement throughout the Tallahassee community. Additional operations are planned for the future in an all out effort to reduce illegal drugs in our community.
