By Daphne Bowen


For ages, the drug menace has been a nightmare to many people. A lot of great brains have been destroyed due to substance abuse. Worst of it is that it known no age. Both the old and young in the society have fallen victims of this menace. The authorities have put in a lot of efforts in ensuring that it has been brought to an end. The following is a breakdown of how police drug investigation Portland is carried out.

At the first, the officers receive complaints from concerned citizens within their area of jurisdiction. At times, they also witness the existence of this trade and usage on their own. This provides a base of the entire investigation that they will be forced to undertake. They have to ensure that the sources information is concrete and makes sense to avoid cases where their involvement ends up yielding nothing.

The officers on the other hands are expected to give a listening ear in case of any reporting. Those cases related to drugs for example forms the basis of the investigation. A task force is formed to work with the source so as to shed more light on what have been reported. They work hard in hard in breaking down the information at hand and coming up with plans of how to make use of it.

Once this information is at hand, the police make arrangements on how they will verify the information given. This includes them going undercover for a certain period of time. They use the provided information and as well contact the providers in case of any developments or changes. This undercover work is aimed at identified all those that are involved with the narcotics.

The findings are recorded and compiled in a report. Once it have been validated as convincing, the next stage follows. This involves collecting of evidence from the ground. In such a case, it will involve identifying the source of the narcotics, suppliers, users and even modes of transportation. The officers are advised to be very careful and maintain their cover at all times.

The collected evidence is then presented and combined together. This helps in coming up with a chain of the entire activities as they take place in the ground. This includes when and where the narcotics are availed, the modes and how they are used and by who. It also helps in identifying areas that should be given priority when it comes to intercepting the entire chain.

The police will use their findings to attack their target on the ground. This is for them to get firsthand information concerning the substance. Those interrogated will be either the suppliers, sellers or users. All the findings are then combined to aid in coming up with a long lasting solution.

When all goes as planned, the task force have the mandate of destroying any facilities that could be used in availing the drugs as well as arresting all the culprits. The arrested are later interrogated with an aim of bringing in any others that could have escaped nabbing. Legal procedures then follows and those found guilty jailed.
