In an effort to enhance the quality of life for all citizens, while investigating, disrupting and dismantling drug trafficking organizations and other violent offenders operating in Jefferson County, we established partnerships with multiple federal agencies to include:

 

U.S. Marshals Service, who provided resources to our very own S.O.R.E. Sex Offender Residency Enforcement Operation to ensure the safety of the children of Jefferson County.

 

Gulf Coast HIDTA Initiative, partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) netting the seizure of historic amounts of illicit drugs and over a million dollars in currency and seized assets ultimately used to enhance investigative operations in Jefferson County.    

 

Finally, I would like to thank the residents of our community for their support and efforts in helping make Jefferson County a safer place to live, work and visit.

 

As always, please call on our office anytime we can be of service.
