As a result, California narcotics enforcement agencies have begun actively pursuing investigations that will lead them to the assets of the narcotics dealer. The added enforcement dimension will cause changes in other aspects of California narcotics enforcement. Following a review of the future of California narcotics enforcement relative to these changes, four policies are recommended: (1) agencies should from interagency task forces to investigate major drug traffickers and emphasize asset seizure; (2) the mission of local narcotics units should be established as the well-rounded enforcement of drug problems within the community; (3) a portion of the assets seized from drug dealers should be used to support drug prevention and intervention programs within the community; and (4) a portion of the assets seized from drug dealers should also be used to finance enhanced drug enforcement training and equipment for patrol officers.
