Section 2: Project Overview
General Project Information
Project Title: DRUG REDUCTION ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVE Subgrant Recipient: Clay County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Clay County Sheriff's Office
Project Start Date: 10/1/2020 End Date: 9/30/2021 Problem Identification
In order for the Clay County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) to continue its aggressive approach to the drug problem, many man hours will be needed. Overtime costs are not only necessary but essential to the success of our drug investigation operations to combat the current drug trends and drug related crimes. Currently the budget for the Clay County Sheriff's Office will not allow us to pay the overtime costs associated with drug investigations, so it is necessary to request grant funding to pay for the overtime for the Drug Reduction and Enforcement Initiative. We also need funding to purchase two AirPura S600 UV HEPA filtration systems for use in the Orange Park Police Department property room where seized drugs are stored.
During FY19/20, CCSO received the FY18 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant- State Solicitation (Subgrant Number 2019-JAGC-CLAY-1-Y5-116) to implement the Drug Reduction and Enforcement Initiative (DREI). This initiative has allowed us to continue many of the successful drug interdiction and investigation activities developed by the Clay County Drug Task Force.
The subgrant award period for grant 2019-JAGC-CLAY-1-Y5-116 was originally from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, however, a grant adjustment was approved on August 18, 2020 extending the project end date to March 31, 2021.
Clay County continues to be one of the nation's fastest growing regions with a diverse mixture of suburban and rural areas spread over 644 square miles of land and waterways. It is bordered by the St. Johns River along with Duval, Baker, Bradford, St. Johns, and Putman counties. The county includes several unincorporated municipalities and four incorporated municipalities - Orange Park (adjacent to the Duval County line), Green Cove Springs (seat of the county's government), Penney Farms, and Keystone Heights. Clay County is the 25th largest county in Florida with a total estimated population of 219,252.
The Organized Crime Section, comprised of two Narcotics Units, as well as the Targeted Narcotics Unit (TNT), are now part of the Special Operations Division. The Narcotics Unit is supervised by a Lieutenant and two Sergeants and is comprised of thirteen deputies. These units continue to focus on large-scale and long-term investigations. To further assist with narcotic investigations and intelligence gathering, the Crime Analysis Unit provides analytical services, intelligence products, statistics, and geospatial analysis to support investigations. The salaries, equipment, and other resources for these units are covered by the Clay County Sheriff's Office budget. Overtime for the long-term special investigations conducted by the Organized Crime Section is not covered by the budget and must be covered by grant funding. The expected outcome is targeting mid to upper level drug dealers and the trafficking of major quantities of illegal drugs and the reduction in drug related crime in Clay County.
Section 2: Project Overview
2019 was a successful year for the Organized Crime Section. The Narcotics Unit members performed numerous covert buys and search warrants resulting in the seizure of narcotics, currency, and vehicles. After numerous complaints by neighbors regarding ongoing narcotics activity, an investigation was conducted on a residence in the Middleburg area and a suspect was arrested for the sales as well as the narcotics found in the residence. The investigation was a joint effort, yielding three kilograms of Cocaine, eight pounds of Methamphetamine, and over $45,000.
A Boost Mobile store in Clay County was temporarily closed down after narcotics investigators discovered drugs were being sold from the premises. An undercover detective conducted sales to numerous "customers" and once the transactions were complete the targets were taken into custody by detectives. This resulted in numerous arrest and ceased ongoing narcotic sales at this location.
Additionally, information from numerous reliable sources and undercover operations led to criminal charges against thirteen individuals associated with and known to be distributors for the group in the Clay and Duval County area. The thirteen individuals were charged by the State Attorney's Office, 4th Judicial Circuit with criminal violations of Florida law. Members of this organization admitted to being responsible for the import and distribution of over two-hundred kilograms of Fentanyl and four hundred kilograms of Methamphetamine during an 18-month period in the Northeast Florida area.
This investigation spanned from Northeast Florida to the West coast, with two indicted members being residents of California, and one a resident of Arizona. This struck a significant blow to the Fentanyl distribution in the Northeast Florida area and undoubtedly prevented numerous drug related injuries and deaths from occurring.
Through the hard work of the Organized Crime Section, 342 cases were generated and 190 cases were cleared by arrest. They seized 20,454 grams of Marijuana, 308 grams oil, 5,944 grams of Cocaine, 8,307 grams of Meth, and 1,080 grams of Fentanyl. Furthermore, detectives investigated 3 prostitution/vice operations, 3 Knock and Talks, and 20 search warrants.
The continued growth of drug activity and narcotics trafficking in this area is the result of several contributing factors. First, North Florida is recognized as one of the major transportation hubs and transshipment points in the southeastern United States. Clay County is located in close proximity to a major international seaport and growing international airport in neighboring Jacksonville/Duval County. There is a network of interstate highway systems (I-95, I-295, I-10, US 17, US 301, US 90, US 1, and the First Coast Expressway that is currently in construction) through the area and major railway and trucking companies provide rapid distribution of various commodities
throughout the country. This area offers logistical advantages to drug traffickers as a primary shipment point into and out of Florida.
Additionally, the increase in crime and drug activity can be attributed to the expansion and displacement of the criminal element into Clay County from Duval County. In 2019, Jacksonville continued to rank high in violent crime. The overflow of criminal activity comes into Clay County via State Road 21 (Blanding Boulevard) and
Section 2: Project Overview
US 17 (Roosevelt/Park Avenue), the primary thoroughfares into the county.
The Clay County Drug Overdose Mortality Rate was last recorded at 24.1 per 100,000 people;
outranking the Florida average of 22.8 per 100,000*. Prescription drug abuse remains a significant factor but has become outweighed by the recent influx of, and subsequent overdoses, attributed to street level opioids such as Heroin and Fentanyl. Together, prescription drug abuse and street level opioid abuse remain one of the deadliest public safety issues. Even though the State of Florida developed a prescription drug monitoring program, forged prescriptions and "doctor shopping" are still prevalent. (*The 2019 County Health Rankings used data from 2015-2017 for this measure) Drug use has grown to epidemic proportions in Clay County and continues to pose challenges for law enforcement due to the increased level of sophistication among drug dealers and users, the increasing number and types of new drugs, and new methods to manufacture and transport drugs.
The citizens of Clay County will benefit from the DREI project as we continue to work on reducing illegal drug activity and drug related crimes. Successful drug reduction in Clay County is the result of hard work by law enforcement and citizens who provide information that aid in intelligence gathering and identifying and locating suspects.
The Clay County Board of County Commissioners and the Clay County Sheriff's Office will comply with all applicable federal, state and local financial and administrative requirements for this grant award.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
To address the growing problem of drug activity and other crimes associated with drug activity, the Narcotics Unit of the Organized Crime Section has implemented different strategic
enforcement plans and partnered with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to enhance information sharing, fugitive tracking, drug investigations and drug interdiction programs that have allowed the agency to successfully target mid to upper level drug dealers and the trafficking of major quantities of illegal drugs.
As previously stated, the citizens of Clay County will benefit from the Drug Reduction and Enforcement Initiative (DREI) project as the agency continues to work on reducing illegal drug activity and drug related crimes. The assistance provided by the DREI funding for overtime for this operation and others like it have a long lasting effect, not only in Clay County, but also
surrounding jurisdictions and likely a profound impact on other areas of distribution for the cartel and its members.
Continued interagency cooperation and coordination with the Green Cove Springs Police Department and the Orange Park Police Department has been key to the success of what has been accomplished locally and will continue to be important moving forward with new initiatives.
The methods used by drug dealers and smuggling organizations are always changing. Through continued training, the use of emerging technologies and dedication, the Organized Crime Section has maintained its expertise in disrupting and dismantling these criminal organizations.
In the coming year, the Clay County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) expects to continue to successfully target mid to upper level drug dealers and the trafficking of major
quantities of illegal drugs as well as reduce drug related crime in Clay County. To accomplish this, the agency's goals are:
1.�Continue aggressive investigative efforts in the area of illegal drug abuse and trafficking.
2.�Continue investigations of clandestine labs that manufacture Methamphetamine, Heroin, and Fentanyl.
3.�Continue investigations of indoor/outdoor Cannabis growing operations that continue to plague the county.
4.�Enhance investigations of street-level prescription drug sales and use.
The Narcotics Unit will continue to address:
* Increased use and abuse of prescription drugs (pills).
* An increase in Crystal Methamphetamine brought into Clay County.
* Use of synthetic drugs.
* Mobile drug couriers and suppliers that come to the area from other jurisdictions for the purpose of transporting and dealing drugs.
* Narcotics organizations operating within the specified areas.
* Specific locales that enable, promote, and support the illicit use of drugs.
* Mid-level dealers who supply street-level dealers and stay at "arm's length" from the law.
* Habitual drug violators operating in the area of Clay County.
* Drug dealers who are the source of numerous complaints within the identified geographic boundaries.
* Drug dealer assets acquired with profits from drug trafficking.
* An increase in the use of Heroin and Fentanyl resulting in a significant increase in overdose deaths.
To accomplish the goals and objectives set forth, the agency will use grant funds to pay for overtime costs for detectives associated with narcotics investigations and related search warrant activities. The SWAT Team continues to assist with high risk narcotics related search warrants.
The additional support for the Narcotics Unit will greatly assist in the expanding of operations. The grant funds will also pay overtime for civilian personnel who may be asked to assist with drug investigation operations. The deliverable will consist of the civilian personnel and deputies' authorized time sheets noting the time worked on grant related investigations described above.
Also a portion of the funds will be used to purchase two AirPura S600 UV HEPA filtration systems for use in the property room at the Orange Park Police Department property room. These systems will serve to combat the odors and chemical emissions from seized drugs that are affecting the health of the people who sit nearby. Two machines are needed due to the size and high ceilings in the property room. We anticipate we will research the cost for the systems and prepare
requisitions in January 2021, complete the purchasing process by March 1, 2021 and the systems should be installed within 60 days after purchase or by the end of April 2021.
Documentation of deliverables will be maintained by the implementing agency and made available for monitoring. Example documentation for the purchase of items and services include, but are not limited to, procurement records (including quotes, competitive solicitation/bids, etc.), purchase orders, packing slips, delivery/receivable documents, invoices and proof of payment, etc.
Deliverables will be completed in accordance with the contractual agreement(s) between the implementing agency and the vendor/provider(s). Minimum performance required for drawdown of funds includes the completion of at least one activity described above as attested to on the
financial expenditure report.
