On behalf of the State of Missouri and the Missouri Department of Public Safety, it is my pleasure to present the 2000 Narcotics Control Assistance Program-Annual Report. Since 1987, the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Formula Block Grant Program has been an essential |, resource in our continuing effort to meet the public safety needs of the State and local level criminal justice community. The Missouri Department of Public Safety remains committed to assisting State and local efforts to make Missouri a safer place. The Byrne Program makes it possible for Missouri to | aggressively address the many public safety issues associated with illicit drugs and violent crime. The 2000 Narcotics Control Assistance Program-Annual Report is a comprehensive evaluation of State ! and local level projects that received financial assistance through the Edward Byme Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Formula Block Grant Program. During this reporting period, July I, 1999 through June 30, 2000, the Missouri Department of Public Safety-Narcotics Control Assistance Program | provided grant awards to 64 projects statewide. Financial assistance was provided to projects supporting drug education, drug enforcement, community based prevention, criminal litigation, treatment, supervision, crime laboratory enhancements, criminal records improvement and data analysis. By | supporting the award of Byme Program money to projects within these categories, we place ourselves in a position to best serve the citizens of Missouri. The Missouri Department of Public Safety remains committed to our vision, "By embracing the | challenges of the future, the Department of Public Safety will be a premier leader in providing protection and service, creating a quality of life in which all people feel safe and secure."

Awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, I United States Department of Justice I Researched and prepared by: The Narcotics Control Assistance Program staff and members of the I Statistical Analysis Center - Missouri State Highway Patrol Submitted to the Bureau of Justice Assistance I November 1, 2000 I I I I Ill Executive Summary II In 1987, the Missouri Department of Public Safety initiated an administrative section within the Office of the Director, whose primary responsibility was to oversee and coordinate the dissemination of federal funding awards made to Missouri. This administrative section was implemented and titled as the Narcotics Control Assistance Program (NCAP) in response to the establishment of the federal Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Ill Enforcement Assistance Formula Grant Program (Byrne Program) authorized by Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 3711 et seq. Additionally, the furtherance of the overall mission of the Missouri Department of Public Safety, as defined in Chapter 650 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, became and Ill continues to be the directive for the Narcotics Control Assistance Program. That mission is to provide a safe and secure environment for all individuals, through efficient and effective law enforcement. Throughout the years, the Missouri Department of Public Safety, through the Narcotics Control Assistance Program, li has been involved in an on-going effort to identify the criminal justice needs of state and local government. As a result of this process, the Narcotics Control Assistance Program has provided the trmancial and technical assistance required to initiate state and local level responses to crime and drug related issues. This response, which parallels the ii established objectives of the Byme program as outlined by the U.S. Department of Justice - Office of Justice Programs, is the foundation for project initiatives within Missouri. It remains the priority of the Narcotics Control Assistance Program to identify state and local initiatives which assist the state of Missouri in the enforcement of drug control or controlled substance laws, initiatives which emphasize the prevention and control of violent crime li and serious offenders, and initiatives which improve the effectiveness of the state and local criminal justice system. In compliance with section 522(a) of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, the Narcotics Control lJ Assistance Program 2000 State Annual Report (SAR), will outline the impact of Byme Program funding on the criminal justice system within the jurisdictions of state and local government. During the reporting period covered in this annual report, July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000, the Narcotics Control Assistance Program provided funding li assistance in 9 of the 26 authorized purpose areas. The total monetary award for this reporting period was $9,973,679.38, for which the Narcotics Control Assistance Program was able to provide f'mancial assistance to 64 state and local level projects. i This level of funding provided f'mancial assistance to 4 Demand Reduction Education Programs (DARE 501(1)), 27 Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force programs (501 2)), 10 Community Oriented Policing / Prevention projects (501(4)), 1 Career Criminal Prosecution project (501(08)), 1 Court Delay Reduction project (501(10)), 5 Intensive II Supervision / Probation and Parole projects (501 (11)), 7 Criminal Laboratory Upgrade projects (501 (15a)), 6 Criminal Records Improvement Programs (501 (15b)), 1 Innovative Program (501 (16)) and 1 Administrative award. The total funds expended during this reporting period represents grant awards utilizing Byme Program money from il fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. In addition to the projects funded through the authorized purpose areas described in this report, the Missouri Department of Public Safety-Narcotics Control Assistance Program was also involved in three separate continuing il initiatives, designed to further enhance our current Byme Program effort. The three initiatives identified in this report are 1), Missouri Methamphetamine Initiative 2), Missouri Interagency Clandestine Lab Task Force initiative and the 3) 1999 Analysis of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program in Missouri. Summaries of these I! separate initiatives can be found in Section I of this report. The Missouri Department of Public Safety-Narcotics Control Assistance Program continues to be an essential component of the statewide effort to address violent crime and drugs. Through the Byme Program, Missouri has the li financial capability to maintain essential projects that provide needed services for the criminal justice community. Beside the initiatives previously described, the Narcotics Control Assistance Program places an equally high priority on the development and continuation of projects and partnerships that enhance a state, or local unit of government's ability to implement aggressive responses to the public safety needs of their respective service areas. The Narcotics i Control Assistance Program strives to implement progressive demand reduction, community, multi-jurisdictional, judicial, correctional, analytical and informational-based response strategies to the public safety threats of crime and Ii drugs.
