In 2008, the Fourth Judicial District Attorney’s Office, through our partnership with and

the DEA Southern Colorado Drug Task Force (SCDTF), began participating in the

investigation of a large-scale drug trafficking organization with direct ties to a major

Mexican drug cartel.

Over the course of the 22 month investigation, the DA’s Office reviewed and supervised

more than 35 wiretaps that were monitored by DEA. Those wiretaps led to evidence that

was disseminated throughout the country and allowed other DEA offices nationwide to

further this investigation. Nationally this investigation was code-named “Project

Deliverance”. Locally the investigation resulted in the arrest of 35 individuals on

narcotics-related charges, and the seizure of more than 13 pounds of cocaine, 30 pounds

of methamphetamine, 3.75 pounds of heroin, and over 1.4 million dollars in currency and

assets. Nationally, the results of “Project Deliverance” included the arrest of 2,278

individuals and the seizure of $154 million dollars, 1,262 pounds of methamphetamine,

2.5 tons of cocaine, 1,410 pounds of heroin, 69 tons of marijuana, 501 weapons and 527

vehicles during the entire course of the operation. “Project Deliverance” also led to the

arrest of Mexican cartel head Carlos Ramon Castro-Rocha. Castro-Rocha was arrested by

Mexican authorities on May 30, 2010, based on an arrest warrant from the United States.

“Project Deliverance” was such a success nationwide, and the Southern Colorado Drug

Task Force’s involvement so critical to the Project, that in June, 2011 the SCDTF was

awarded “Investigative Case of the Year” by the White House Office of National Drug

Control Policy. Deputy District Attorney Jeff Harwood was one of the members of the

SCDTF who was at the national awards banquet in Washington, D.C. to accept the award

on behalf of the Task Force.



75% of our community has some tie to the military.



In response to a growing number of crimes being committed by

soldiers, Veteran’s Court officially launched in December, 2009.



While Veteran’s Court was originally developed to handle felony

level offenses, we found that of the 3000 arrests involving military

personnel, 1623 were misdemeanors. To serve this group we

expanded Veteran’s Court to include misdemeanors and traffic

(DUI) cases in July, 2011.



Some Statistical Data: We currently have 54 active cases in felony

Veteran’s Court. 89% are in compliance or have succeeded. The

population in this program are 92% male, primarily white, and

between the ages of 18-24.



With cooperation and assistance from County Information Services, we

established wireless access to all courtrooms in both El Paso and Teller

Counties.



We completed the first Disaster Recovery system and Business Continuity

Plans for the District Attorney’s Office, to include the installation of a server

in Teller County to store back up data for El Paso County.



We devised and implemented an e-based Discovery system that is in the

testing phase and expected to go live in 2012.



An E-Subpoena system was developed and implemented for Colorado

State Patrol, eliminating paper and delays in service.



We implemented an integrated an Evidence Tracking System with EPSO

and CSPD, sharing data electronically and eliminating errors and

redundancy. Over a week of labor is saved for each homicide case we

receive for filing.



We have implemented free video conferencing in our main conference

rooms in both El Paso County and Teller County. We are able to hold

employment interviews, training, and attend out of city meetings via the

internet, eliminating travel expenses for these events.



We have launched a new external web site:
