I. P U R P O S E
The purpose of this memorandum is to set forth the
responsibilities of the participating agencies as they relate to
the Santa Clara County Specialized Enforcement Team (SCCSET).
Working in conjunction, the participating agencies will endeavor
to effectively enforce the controlled substance laws of the State
of California as expressed in the Health and Safety Code, and
applicable federal laws relating to the trafficking of controlled
substances. This will be the primary focus of SCCSET. The
agencies participating in SCCSET will be targeting their
investigations toward the apprehension of street level and mid
level violators. The agencies participating in SCCSET will also
focus on violence suppression investigations, as requested by
participating agencies, or when directed by the Chairperson of
SCCSET. Current drug trafficking trends and enforcement problem
areas identified by the SCCSET Commander and Council, will be
considered when establishing enforcement priorities and goals.
Use of this task force concept is intended to ensure well
coordinated narcotic enforcement regionally, to increase the flow
of information between the various law enforcement agencies
participating in the BNE Task Force Program, and to provide a
highly trained and mobile specialized enforcement team to assist
participating agencies in violence suppression investigations.
