Based on a 1987 survey of 228 local law enforcement agencies and 45 major detention facilities, it was found that drug abuse is a major problem in the State, accounting for significant economic losses, fatalities, and 65 percent of all arrests. State and local enforcement efforts in 1986 resulted in confiscation of cocaine, crack, and marijuana with a street value of over $1.1 billion. Over $48 million was seized from organizations involved in drug-related criminal activity. Of the inmate population, 56 percent admit to narcotics use, and 55 percent are incarcerated for narcotic-related offenses in the local detention facilities. Enforcement initiatives have included hotlines, surveillance, a narcotics intelligence exchange, police training, and eradication and interdiction programs. Others have included community relations and awareness programs, public service announcements, school resource officers, and special investigative units. Treatment and rehabilitation programs have been established in State and local detention facilities. These include assessment, inpatient and outpatient treatment, counseling, training, education, recreational, and aftercare services. Educational and prevention activities include implementation of a Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Concerns and educational and counseling programs for elementary and secondary school students. 12 references.
