Anti-Drug Act
Funds Awarded The
Tri-County Region
Block-By-Block

Project in Kenton
Neighborhood
G overnor Neil G oldschm idt yester
day announced the awarding of $172,000
in drug enforcem ent funds to the Re
gional O rganized Crime N arcotics Task
Force ("RO C N ") for 1989-90.
The funds are part o f the $1.5 m il
lion that the State o f O regon received
under the federal 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse
Act. Those funds are being distributed
consistent w ith the state's 1989 Law
E nforcem ent Drug and V iolent Crime
Strategy that was developed after a se
ries o f statew ide com m unity hearings
this past summer.
M ichael D. Schrunk, M ultnomah
County D istrict Attorney and Chairman
o f the ROCN Control Board, welcomed
the G overnor's news. "These funds will
enable the Task Force to effectively target
its day-to-day investigations and prose
cutions. Illegal drug activity ignores the
political boundaries o f any area, so it is
essential that law enforcem ent authori
ties coordinate their work. Money is
always a great incentive to bringing people
together, and these state funds are being
used precisely as they shoudl be - lever
aging scarce dollars to produce large
results."
During the last year, the Anti-Drug
Act funds previously aw arded to ROCN
resulted in:
* Execution o f 33 search warrants and
30 arrests.
* 13 federal prosecutions.
* 13 state prosecutions.
* Seizures ofdrugs valued at $2,077,510.
* Seizures o f currency am ounting to
$246,080.
* Seizures o f 19 vehicles.
* Seizures o f 64 weapons.
The ROCN Task Force is one of
seven Regional Anti-Drug Enforcem ent
task forces in the state. They were cre
ated to pool together scarce law enforce
m ent resources in the m ulticounty area
and target specific illegal drug activity
for investigation, apprehension and prose
cution. The work of the T ask Force is
coordinated by a ROCN Control Board
which is made up o f the following indi
viduals:
Mr. Charles Turner, United States
A ttorney; C hief Richard W alker, Port
land Police Bureau; Mr. Larry M cKin
ney, Resident Agent in Charge, DEA;
Mr. Scott Upham, W ashington County
D istrict A ttorney; Mr. Jim O'Leary,
Clackam as County District Attorney,
C hief A rt Knori, G resham Police Bu
reau; M ajor L.R. Howland, Oregon S tate
P o lic e ; S h e riff R o b e rt S k ip p er,
M ultnomah County; Sheriff Bill Prob-
stfield, W ashington County; Sheriff Bill
Brooks, Clackam as County.
The ROCN Task Force is composed
o f law enforcem ent officers from these
local, state and federal agencies. In
addition, the Milwaukie and Lake Oswego
Poiicc Departm ents currently have offi
cers as 'gned to ROCN operations as
does the Im m igration andN aturalization
Service.
