at that point he's introduced narcotics into the institute. unfortunately for him, we had staff in the area monitoring the video cameras, we watched this as it unfolded we were able to apprehend him and his visitor. >> for this attempt to smuggle one ounce of marijuana into prison, he was placed into administrative segregation. his female visitor was arrested. >> some women are attracted to the bad boys. these are the real bad boys. and the inmates in prison, they just use these people. it's not about love or anything like that, they just use them. destroy their lives. >> for some, destroying the life of a loved one is offset by the profits generated by drug trafficking behind bars. >> one gram of black tar heroin on the street will cost somewhere between 40 and 80 dollars, once it comes inside prison it can go for as much as $800. and a gram is very easy to get in. >> a demand along with the lure of easy money, has drugs flooding into prisons. pitting inmates and corrections officials in a constant game of cat and mouse. often played in the p

dea is really doing a great job in teaching the narcotics interdiction unit and the narcotics lead in the government of afghanistan in things which are challenging for the afghans, but they're getting better at it. things like collecting evidence. and doing criminal investigations. because it's got to move from paramilitary operations to legitimate criminal investigations. and using the rule of law to hold these people accountable. we're making progress but it's nascent. it's really only in the past year that the narcotics interdiction units and the government of afghanistan have been effective in collecting evidence and making a difference. but that has curtailed his activities and his cronies. it has curtailed that activity. so that's a good thing. that i think is going to pay dividends later on. the other thing i think is vitally important is that the central government has to,

it's for the narcotic controlled substances. for instance, i'm dealing with a pharmacy or group of pharmacies, manufacture manufacturers, distributors, selling a drug or drugs like that. i have no way to track it. it is not entered in the system. >> if we took those which are narcotics -- probably, there is going to be a correlation between somebody getting an illegal prescription for, adavan as well as illegal prescription for oxycontin. not sawing you have to do the breadth. if you have reported narcotics, oxycontin. knowing just from here have a heck of a lot of data. why aren't we doing every week another intervention at another pharmacy. it seems like it is a target rich environment. >> we are. we have active investigation as cross the country based on complaints and our arcos data. some times the arcos data it might show up with a pharmacy that is indeed a legitimate pharmacy that has the a high volume. the reason they have a high volume or next to a hospital, oncology. >> i can imagine a cross tab. the variables we find a

and that involves narcotics ed nope. this task force, amazing, remarkable people have gone into our schools and educating our children about this. we have also instituted along with dea state drug take back days. i have participated, personally, in as many as i could. you would not believe the drugs that are being turned in. and it's gotten so successful that we plan on putting permanent drop boxes up at our police stations and our sheriffs offices as well. at two drug take back day as len -- days alone we seized five tons of prescription drugs. we are very pleased to announce, as of february 2012, our strike force efforts have resulted in 2,040 arrests. 34 of those are doctors. we have seized 390 weapons. almost $5 million. but there is one other problem. i have run out of time. that's the babies being born addicted to prescription drugs. and that is our newest fight this session. we are not going to give up on that. as well. thank you for all of your efforts. and we do know we have a long way to go but i don't think an

department operations order describes the sixth street corridor as being plagued by high level of narcotics activity. this attracts individuals who are responsible for a high percentage of violent crimes which occur in the southern district, including assault, robbery, stabbing and shooting. as a result, extra police resources, including the violent crime task force and tactical units were detailed to the sixth street corridor during july and august of 2011. single resident occupancy in the area are sponsored by the city through public health to work with their clients to break their chemical dependencies and addictions. adding a new licensed establishment contributes to the problem and appears to work against the city's efforts. specifically related to the premises is a 14 unit residential hotel, the oak tree hotel, located adjacent to at and above the applicant premises. the entrance is less than 1 foot to the entrance of the applicants premises. to illustrate high volumes of police calls, there have been 34 calls for a services at the oak tree hotel in 2011. the city and community have w

we'll run the canine, narcotics dogs through, cell phone dogs. anything we have, this dormitory will have it. >> most of the n-dorm inmates work on a construction crew, building a new low-security housing unit on a plot of land adjacent to santa rosa. the dogs are trained to suddenly sit still when they detect the scent of whatever contraband they're searching for. >> that's a good girl. that's a good girl. she's alerting us to narcotics. that's a good girl, yes! that's her reward. that's a good girl! that's a good girl! >> we had both dogs alert on this particular box, so there is evidence that drugs have been in this facility, right here at this bunk. we have determined that the two inmates that are assigned to this bunk work on the construction work site, so we are pulling them in. they will be drug tested. >> when they show interest or have what we call a change in behavior, we follow it up with a good, thorough search, just to make sure we're not missing any kind of narcotics. that's our main focus. >> want to check this? >> the search turns

tonight we are not going to take up the question of whether drugs or narcotics should be legalized. what we want to look at is the affect of criminalization and the sanctions that have been placed on narcotics use and abuse. we want to hear what these things have done to our communities. i worked as a prosecutor in san francisco, and i feel privileged to do so, given the fact that i was hired by harris and that i continue to have the pleasure to work with the district attorney. both of these leaders have progressive visions about what crime is and how to deal with it in a community as diverse as san francisco. we are talking about a war on drugs tonight, and that is a federal creation, but it means different things to different people, and that is one thing we are going to talk about tonight. we all understand while drug use is pretty much the same across many demographics, enforcement tends to fall most heavily on communities of color and communities that have not been in the majority. we need to look at that, and we need to understand what those negative affects have been, so one

so those types of narcotic crops are hard to control. it actually makes it much harder to crack down on it. now, of course, in my book i discuss oddsly, as he's called, the founder of the first major -- the henry ford of lsd at the university of california berkeley, who established the manufactured, 2 million tabs. all you need is a knowledge of chemistry to make acid. and word of your product will spread by mouth. well, ingested by mouth, certainly. so i see narcotics as becoming more of a decentralized, more of an entrepreneurial, opened up, if you will. >> franchise label. >> exactly, yeah. and that makes it harder to crack down on. >> you mentioned that most of the new left is college students. and they're being influenced by their professors, obviously. i guess my question would be, why are these students who came out of the '50s and hearing stories of their fathers' generation and have not seen atrocities in the communist party and totalitarianism and the whole bit, how are they so influenced by people they're meeting for the first

to make sure we are not missing any narcotics.e muss. >> do you want to check those? >> the search turns up plastic wrapped bundles. but they are not drugs. >> some of the times you will see them take drugs and hide garlic powder, trying to mask the smell. a lot of times you find stuff. and indicator that you are hiding it or had it in here. if they have suspected we're cupping or they know we are here they can eat small amounts of marijuana or hide it in other places. not finding it in the property, was that he probably went ahead and ingested it. marijuana stays for a long time in a lock box like that. there is a chance he already used it.?;ii we'll have that inmate perform a urinalysis. >> the bunk and lock boxes belong to dante and kevin. >> i think that they thing that we are getting high. >> what do you think?ç >> i think we will find out. >> coming up. >> right over there on the piece of paper. >> they're put to the test. >> this is a dip test, testing for four different drugs today. cocaine, amphetamines, thc, and barbitu

nearly every block within aç 6 block radius has its own boss selling narcotics. a magnet for law enforcement and investigations are bound to overlap. >> you have other agencies that are also running cases, not going after the same targets that we are, but running parallel cases maybe two blocks over. >> the chicago pd and fbi have been building their own sting operation for months. it's no secret to the sheriff's police who just started "game over," but now the feds announce they are ready to make sweeping arrests and the timing takes the sheriff's police by surprise. it will be much more difficult for them to do undercover work once the other agencies heat up the neighborhood. >> so whereas if i rolled out and was able to get it just like that, now they are going to start looking at me differently. see the police, see this, see that. they might start questioning the buyer more. >> so the sheriff's police decide to put "game over" on pause. >> we're going to just hold off for a little bit and go back and start making more buys. >> that leaves their main informant

there are times where we have narcotics. -- counter-narcotics programs and then we wouldn't. there would be arguments within the military. and the administration about whetherwe would have something grotesquely wasteful. it would be completely ineffective in terms of counter narcotics. it was a lot about burning up money. it is still 90% of the world opium grown there. >>do the people that live there use the opium? >> not that much. it's more in the iran but not that much of their. >> are the troops caught up in using drugs? >> i did not see any. >> when you met with the national guard, where were you? what was your lifestyle? >> i was in a forward operating basis. they were in the middle of taliban country. they had so many rocket attacks that it was called "rocket city." you'd get baseball caps with that logo on it. >> what did the american military personnel think of this? >> soldiers would say "living the dream, sir." it was what they wanted to do, going to the combat outpost. >> what was your reaction when you heard this charge that one man over there killed 17 people? >

i worked in narcotics for a long time. plainclothes for a long time. i participated in large seizures, one of them involving $1.4 million in cash. and i never to the dime. i am comfortable with the officers i worked with, that they were of the highest caliber. as i said earlier, there are officers who are not of the same character as the officers i worked with, and i think the hard working men and women of the police department would just as soon not have them among them. to paint the organization with a broad stroke is not fair. in the legal profession, there are a tremendous amount of incredibly hon. attorneys and judges, but every once in awhile, we see an ugly stories there, too. would it be untoward, as they say? i think they need to be, as i said earlier, dismissed from our ranks. >> for police officers who are alleged to abuse their power -- and know you want to comment on what chief suhr was saying. then i have a question for you. >> first, i have probably been involved in more cases than anyone in this area. >> [unintelligible] >> i have been

they have seized a fire arms and seized narcotics and a daily basis. there was an article regarding these two officers who made a call regarding a stolen bicycle that was listed on craigslist. they posed as purchasers of the bicycle and went out and made the arrest. the recovered a stolen vehicle, numerous stolen items, methamphetamines, and the suspects had numerous felonies. we mix it up a lot, too. we do a lot of outreach. you will see us playing basketball with the kids, often comparing our shoes and things that are going on. we also do enforcement. one of the things that is great that we do is, thank god for the work of the people in uniform, handling the calls for service because it gives us that extra time to get out of the car into walk-throughs. contract with the community in enforcement manners. you would not believe. you start at one end of the griffin housing project and a walking through the area, sometimes you turn the corner and find a kid holding a gun. that is the sort of value we do. we're there for immediate prevention. then we do ou
