The Sheriff's Office is currently active in two task forces based in the Montomery area. The H.I.D.T.A. (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Task Force is made up of federal, state, and local law enforcement Officers and was established to target areas, in the State of Alabama, where drugs are being transported in large quantities. The FBI Anti-Terrorism Task Force was developed in response to 9/11 to investigate terrorist activity in the Montgomery area. Deputies are assigned to these task forces full time and receive specialised training in the areas that the task forces investigate. The Sheriff's Office receives some funding and reimbursement from the task forces. Task force members respond to and investigate cases through the State of Alabama if the case is adopted by the task force. |
