The innovative program reflects recognition that drug task forces and narcotics units can handle only a small percentage of drug law offenses and that citizen input is crucial to drug law enforcement. In Indianapolis, the 300 specially trained police officers promptly and visibly check citizen complaints and tips and actively enforce drug laws. The officers received extensive training in drug recognition and classification; search, seizure, and arrest procedures; case preparation; and court testimony. Much of this training was accomplished through the use of videos at roll calls rather than classroom instruction. The police department also established a new drug hotline, acquired more drug- sniffing dogs, used computer technology to track the locations of drug law offenses, and improved coordination with the prosecutor's office. An oversight committee composed of police and prosecutorial staff supervises, monitors, and coordinates program efforts. Other police agencies should follow several specific guidelines when establishing similar programs. Photograph
