Case Study: Law Enforcement Agencies In Wood County

It is no secret that the city of Richmond has a major problem with drugs and drug dealing. Where there is demand, there will be supply.

In an effort to fight crime and drug dealing in these communities, the RRHA has developed strict policies that ban anyone with drug convictions from their private properties.

When I think about current policy, I know how important it is for America to secure borders and not only reduce Mexican meth, but production of meth within the United States borders. Also, the continuance of offering treatment options to offenders, relieving some of the burden on our overcrowded prison system. Finding effective ways for abusers of any substance to overcome their addictions and helping these people find another way to live and integrate back into society. The 2015 Strategy Focuses on seven core areas: stopping drug use in our neighborhoods, pursuing early intervention chances in health care, merging treatment for substance use disorders into health care and aiding recovery, ending the cycle of drugs, use, crime, and incarceration, obstruction of domestic drug trafficking and production, enhancing international partnerships, and revising information systems to better concentrate on drug abuse and its ramifications (Whitehouse.gov, 2015).

I guess we shall see once we begin the interview.

Everybody just says “oh just take out the supplier or the guy that gives it to the dealer and then the drugs will stop.” However it is not that simple there needs to be awareness throughout the neighbourhood about the problem and then the police can step-in and slowly work the way up to the person who is dealing the drugs. However this is not happing in some parts of the community so there is a stand-still in the process therefore taking longer to get the drugs off of the streets. Myboot crime statistic and the Department of police force WA website have shown that on average that the drug rates in the peel are above the West Australian average.
