DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Note: This form does not provide spell check.. A. THE PROBLEM The importation of illegal narcotics continues to plague the Island and State of Hawaii. Due to our island's and state's remote location in the Pacific Ocean, the methods used to import illegal narcotics are limited and present unique challenges to law enforcement. Importation of the illegal narcotics is successfully achieved by using the wide variety of shipping services offered by the United States Postal Service, private parcel shipping establishments, and household good shipping businesses. In addition, the importation of illegal narcotics is achieved via airlines by way of the "body carry" method in which individuals conceal quantities of narcotics on their person or within their clothing as they travel or by concealing the narcotics within their carry -on or checked in luggage. Once the narcotics reach the Big Island, the narcotics are distributed into our community by individuals who profit monetarily from the narcotics sales. With the importation methods described above, it is necessary for law enforcement officers tasked with investigating narcotics offenses to 1) be highly trained ir}-the methods and techniques used to investigate narcotics offenses 2) use the gained knowledge and learned techniques to maximize narcotics investigations 3) broaden the network of resources available to law enforcement as they conduct their narcotics investigations. Crystal methamphetamine, or "ice," continues to be the most prevalent drug of choice and has a significant negative impact on our Big Island communities and families and the visitors to the Big Island. Oftentimes, methamphetamine users lack the ability to pay for methamphetamine and resort to committing property crimes, such as theft, burglary, and unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, so they may obtain money for the stolen items. The money is then used to facilitate the purchase of methamphetamine. Users of crystal methamphetamine have also been associated with "crime sprees" involving a series of crimes, including crimes of violence, such as robbery and assault, simply because they are looking for an easy and quick way to get money to purchase methamphetamine. Cocaine remains popular and available throughout the County of Hawaii and is often used in conjunction with other drugs including heroin and marijuana. The majority of cocaine recovered by law enforcement is in its powdered form. Black tar heroin is the most common form of heroin found on the Big Island and availability of heroin is limited to a small amount of distributors. Individuals associated with heroin use are generally unwilling to assist law enforcement because they do not want to lose the source of their heroin supply. AG/CPJAD #1(a) (Rev 04/11/2014) Page I 545078 1.DOC The illegal possession and distribution of marijuana is widespread on the Big Island. Current Hawaii County ordinance, which prevents acceptance of federal monies associated with marijuana eradication, hampers our department's ability to conduct aerial observations of illegally cultivated marijuana and limits our investigative capability when conducting investigations involving commercial marijuana cultivation and distribution. Pharmaceutical diversion occurs when a legally obtained prescription is filled and the prescribed narcotics are diverted illegally, typically sold for monetary profit or traded for another illicit substance. Pharmaceutical diversion remains an alarming drug threat in the United States and Hawaii County has not been excluded from that trend. The Hawaii Police Department's Vice Section reports that pharmaceutical drugs, legally prescribed or diverted, are present at approximately 85% of their search warrants executed for other illegal narcotics. The most commonly recovered pharmaceutical drugs during these investigations are Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Methadone, and Fentanyl patches. The potential profit of drug trafficking is extremely high, prompting numerous people to become involved in drug trafficking. As an example, one pound of crystal methamphetamine can be purchased on the mainland for $8,000; that same pound of crystal methamphetamine can be sold on the Big Island for $33,000; if that same pound is divided into ounce quantities (as is typically done) and sold for $4,000 an ounce, that's $64,000 for the pound which equates to $56,000 in pure profit..These distributors invest large amounts of money, time, and effort to set up distribution organizations which are very sophisticated and well organized, all in hopes of evading law enforcement. Such organizations operate on different levels yet all of the drug trafficking organizations actions eventually filter down to the "street dealers." These dealers often distribute drugs to support their own habits, sell only "user" quantities, and are highly visible to the general public. These dealers often become the subject of numerous public complaints and become nuisances in any community in which they operate. The utilization of undercover officers to infiltrate drug trafficking organizations has repeatedly proven to be an effective means of dismantling certain organizations. Such operations often lead to the arrest of the upper -most levels of dealers in the organizations through undercover purchases of narcotics. In addition, police controlled purchases conducted with confidential informants and cooperating individuals have also led to the arrest of many mid- to high-level dealers. The prices of narcotics continue to vary however the average cost of an ounce of crystal methamphetamine ranges from $2,500 to $3,500. Narcotic investigations are often complicated, lengthy, and tedious and depend greatly on the skills of a well-trained investigator. Without such skills and training, successful arrests and/or drug seizures would not be possible. However, as the methods and trends of drug trafficking continuously change, it is imperative that law enforcement personnel involved in narcotic investigations are continuously trained and educated in order to maintain effectiveness. The criminal element's knowledge of the techniques utilized and economic limitations affecting law enforcement to combat the drug problem is ever Ac/CPJAD #1(a) (Rev 04/11/2014) Page 2 545078_1.DOC growing, not only by "word of mouth" communication as in the past, but also due to the amount of information available to them via the internet, not to mention the growing number of "reality" television shows in syndication. It is the intention of the Hawaii Police Department to keep the members of our Vice sections abreast of the latest narcotic investigation techniques, intelligence, and resources to combat the ever changing and evolving methods of the modern day drug trafficking organizations. Given our state's remote location and the way our state is divided by islands, it stands to reason that law enforcement efforts will be most effective if information and investigative resources and tactics are shared amongst the different law enforcement agencies. The continued collaboration of the Hawaii Narcotics Task Force (HNTF) has proven to be successful in combating these Drug Trafficking Organizations in the State of Hawaii. Fulfilling the outlined program activities will ultimately have a positive impact on the community at large and hamper the activities of those responsible for the importation and distribution of narcotics. By attending training courses that are specific to narcotics investigations task force officers will be able to stay abreast of narcotics importation and distribution trends and effective means of conducting narcotics investigations. This gained knowledge is expected to enhance the quality of narcotics investigations and is likely to lead to successful criminal prosecutions. For calendar year 2013,, Task Force Officers assigned to the Hawaii County Police Department have recovered over $1,900,000 street value of crystal methamphetamine, $17,000 of cocaine, $936,000 in marijuana, and $39,000 in black tar heroin, resulting in over 2 million dollars worth of illegal narcotics seized in Hawaii County alone. These seizures have resulted in the arrest of 401 persons for 1,943 drug related investigations, the disruption of 1 identified drug trafficking organization and the further dismantling of 3 drug trafficking organizations. During these investigations the Hawaii Police Department seized 30.4 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, 177.5 grams of cocaine, 234 pounds of marijuana, 146 grams of heroin, and 813 diverted pharmaceutical pills. In addition, numerous assets valued in excess of $462,000, such as vehicles and currency related to narcotics investigations, were seized for forfeiture during this time. Funding for the Hawaii Narcotics Task Force and the partnership between the participating and partner agencies have resulted in successful investigations in calendar year 2013, some of which are summarized below: The Vice Section executed a search warrant on a motel room in Kamuela, occupied by a 20 year old male and 22 year old female, after South Kohala Patrol Officers observed narcotics and narcotic paraphernalia while tending to an unresponsive male there. Upon execution of the search warrant, officers recovered 166.5 grams of powdered cocaine, approximately 7 ounces of marijuana, narcotics paraphernalia associated with heroin and cocaine use, digital AG/CPJAD #1(a) (Rev 04/11/2014) Page 3 545078_l.DOC weighing scale, Ziploc packets and approximately $8,800.00 in cash. Vice Officers also executed a search warrant on a vehicle belonging to the 20 year old and recovered Ziploc packets containing cocaine residue and 12.1 grams of marijuana. The 20 year old male and 22 year old female were arrested and charged for 10 Counts of Promoting Dangerous Drugs, 4 Counts of Promoting Detrimental Drugs, 7 Counts of Drug Paraphernalia, and 1 Count of Promoting Controlled Substance In, On, or Near Schools, School Vehicles, or Public Parks. The Airport Task Force intercepted a parcel containing 230.6 grams of crystal methamphetamine destined for a residence in the Kailua-Kona area. During a subsequent joint operation with the Airport Task Force, the Area II Vice Section, the Honolulu Airport Task Force, and special agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration, the intended recipient of the parcel was identified as a 26 year old male who -was taken into custody for methamphetamine trafficking. The male was later transported to the federal detention center on Oahu where he will face federal prosecution. The Vice Section, partnered with the Hawaii State Narcotics Enforcement Division, in an investigation in which two individuals were forging prescriptions for controlled prescription pills. A 42 year old female and a 40 year old female were arrested for 2 counts of Prohibited Acts and Promoting Harmful Drugs. They were later released to the custody of the Narcotics Enforcement Division for their continued investigation and prosecution. The Vice Section, with assistance of DEA and Honolulu Airport Task Force Officers, conducted a controlled delivery of a parcel which contained 2.2 pounds of crystal methamphetamine. The parcel was destined for a Hilo address and was discovered as the Airport Task Force was conducting parcel screenings. During the controlled delivery operation, a 64 year old male was identified as the intended recipient and officers located 18 marijuana plants, 1 pound of dried marijuana and 4 firearms on his property. The male was subsequently arrested for Methamphetamine Trafficking, Drug Paraphernalia, and Promoting Detrimental Drugs 1St and the firearms were recovered for safekeeping. The male was later released to the custody for DEA for their continued investigation and prosecution. The Vice Section concluded a two year investigation that began in Kona. Working with the Hawaii Fire Department and the State Narcotics Enforcement Division, Vice Officers served a search warrant on a home in the Glenwood area and located an underground bunker approximately 40 feet by 80 feet. The setup of this marijuana growing operation, which used two large diesel generators to power the bunker's fans and lights, posed a significant risk of fire and potentially a large explosion. The large growing operation was safely dismantled and police recovered more than 500 marijuana plants (3-4 feet tall), approximately 10 pounds of dried marijuana and a small amount of hashish from the bunker and surrounding property. Officers also seized for forfeiture $4,000 in cash, two vehicles, a backhoe, a trailer, three diesel generators and other tools. A 60 -year-old male and 67 -year-old female were arrested and later charged with two counts of first-degree commercial promotion of a detrimental drug, one count of second-degree commercial promotion of a detrimental drug, and five counts of possessing drug paraphernalia. AG/CPJAD #1(a) (Rev 04/11/2014) Page 4 545078 1.DOC The Vice Section, working in partnership with FBI, concluded a long term investigation of a Drug Trafficking Organization responsible for importing and distributing large quantities of crystal methamphetamine on the Big Island. Through this joint effort, officers identified 10 individuals who were responsible in some way for facilitating the importation and/or distribution of the narcotics. In addition, law enforcement officers identified the mainland source of supply and he was taken into custody. This investigation resulted in the recovery of approximately 19 pounds of methamphetamine and approximately $20,850.00 in currency. B. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The overall goal of the HNTF is to disrupt the flow of narcotics via the apprehension of mid to high level distributors importing and distributing illegal narcotics into and within the State of Hawaii. Objective 1: Maintain a joint task force of personnel from the Hawaii Police Department, Maui Police Department, and the Kauai Police Department. Objective 2: Make a minimum of'400 narcotics related arrests. Objective 3: Disrupt and/or dismantle 4 drug trafficking organizations. Objective 4: Seize a minimum of 500 grams of cocaine, 900 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 40 grams of heroin, and 200 diverted pharmaceutical pills. Objective 5: Increase the knowledge of vice officers by providing training in topics pertaining to conducting high quality narcotics investigations such as current drug trends, smuggling and distribution techniques, confidential informant development and management, officer safety, and State/Federal laws that impact the task force. Objective 6: Increase the knowledge of community members/groups by giving at least 6 presentations in which attendees are given an overview of narcotics, educated on the effects of narcotics use and what narcotics look like, and the paraphernalia associated with narcotics use. C. PROJECT ACTIVITIES 1. The joint task force personnel from the Hawaii Police Department, Maui Police Department, and Kauai Police Department will continue to communicate through telephone and/or email as appropriate. In furtherance of the task force concept, the nc/CPJAD #1(a) (Rev 04/11/2014) Page 5 545078 1.DOC Hawaii Police Department will also continue to participate and assist in interagency investigations as needed. 2. The task force will direct their investigative efforts towards identifying and arresting those individuals involved in narcotics related offenses. Personnel will accomplish this by using traditional, as well as new and innovative investigative methods and by cultivating, managing, and directing confidential informants and/or undercover officers to conduct certain activities in furtherance of narcotics investigations. 3. The task force will direct their investigative efforts towards identifying and disrupting and/or dismantling drug trafficking organizations. Personnel will accomplish this by using traditional, as well as new and innovative, investigative methods and by cultivating, managing, and directing confidential informants and/or undercover officers to conduct certain activities in furtherance of narcotics investigations. 4. Task force members will also direct their investigative efforts towards recovering illegal narcotics to include but not limited to cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, heroin, and diverted pharmaceutical pills. S. Training of personnel is an essential component to the drug enforcement program. Training will include attending conferences and workshops with topics that will be instrumental in increasing the attendees' knowledge, investigative abilities, and work performance. Training will also familiarize the narcotics' officers with current and up-to- date trends of various narcotics concerns and investigative techniques. ➢ Training conferences that has consistently proven to be of great value to the task force members include the semi-annual Inter -County Criminal Intelligence Unit (I.C.C.I.U.) conference. This conference is held at varying locations in the State of Hawaii. It typically occurs in April and October of each year and is attended by representatives of each of the island's local law enforcement agencies as well as the various federal law enforcement agencies and law enforcement partners throughout our State. Presentations given afthe conference are relevant to the narcotics trends seen in our State and are applicable to our narcotics investigations. ➢ Another noteworthy annual training is the California Narcotics Officer Association (CNOA) conference. This conference is held in California or Nevada and occurs annually in November of each year. The topics presented at this conference are presented by instructors who have the background and expertise to support their teachings. In addition, the topics presented are applicable to our narcotics investigations. It is attended by new and seasoned narcotics investigators and narcotics supervisors from all over the western region of the United States. This allows attendees a great opportunity to expand upon their network of available resources when conducting narcotics investigations. AG/CPJAD #1(a) (Rev 04/11/2014) Page 6 545078 1.DOC E. F 6. Educating community members/groups about the narcotics -related topics is important in recognizing narcotics offenses. All too often community members are affected by narcotics use; they either become victims of a narcotics driven crime or the narcotics user is a family member/relative. Educating the community about narcotics - related topics will provide the community with an awareness of indicators to look for when narcotics use and/or distribution is suspected and inform them of the available steps to take when narcotics offenses are suspected.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS/OUTCOME MEASURES The Project Director will record data monthly and oversee efforts and methods used to achieve the goals and objectives, and arrive at conclusions as to the success/failure or need for alternations. Any modifications and/or deviations in operating procedures utilized towards the achievement of goals and objectives will be recorded in order to form a basis for purposes of comparison. The standardization of training and techniques utilized is imperative in terms of the task force operations for optimum results. The anticipated result will be a decrease in the flow of illegal narcotics into the State which will positively impact all aspects of police work, the criminal justice system, and the community by decreasing the amounts of incidents involving thefts, burglaries, crimes against persons, and the like. Collected data will be acquired from the Hawaii Police Department's Records Management System,] arrest reports, investigative narratives, and other departmental reports. Data to be collected will be as follows: AG/CPJAD #1(a) (Rev 04/11/2014) Page 9 545078 1.DOC 1. The number of persons arrested for narcotics related offenses; 2. Disrupt and/or dismantle 6 drug trafficking organizations; 3. The type, quantity, and value of narcotics seized; 4. The number of officers trained and types/dates of training received; 5. The number of narcotics presentations given to community members/groups and the dates of said presentations; The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Performance Measures: The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) requires grantees to report on specific Performance Measures for project activities. Refer to https://www.bjaperformancetools.org/help/JAGMeasuresQuestionnaire.pdf, to locate the performance measures to be reported on for Law Enforcement, this project's Authorized purpose area. I. PROBABILITY TO IMPROVE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND SUSTAINABILITY PLAN It is highly likely that our community and our criminal justice system will be positively impacted by the successful outcomes of the task force's investigative efforts. By ensuring the task force stays abreast of the latest trends in narcotics importation and distribution and by providing training to task force members that is specific to putting together effective narcotics investigations, the flow of illegal narcotics into the State is sure to decrease. With the decrease of available narcotics, law enforcement officers, and subsequently the criminal justice system, will see a decrease in the amount of other narcotics -driven offenses to include burglaries, robberies, thefts, crimes against persons and/or property, and the like. The Hawaii Narcotics Task Force Project will provide the Hawaii Police Department with the continued funding necessary to investigate and apprehend mid to high level narcotics distributors. At the end of this project period, it is anticipated all of the goals and objectives will be met or surpassed. Future grant funding will be sought in order to continue the objectives of this project.
