Welcome to the 617th meeting of TRC of Dixie Sunrise. Photo above used to protect the identity of our local undercover agents...
All participants of this morning's meeting were educated in what gang activity is present here in Southern Utah. Detective Johnny Heppler of the St. George Police Department did an excellent job teaching us how to recognize a gang member and what the task force does to help keep Southern Utah safe.
"Creativity, resourcefulness and energy come from teamwork."
In August 1997 the heads of the St. George Police Department, Washington County Sheriff's Office, Hurricane Police Department, and Washington County Attorney's Office began the process of forming the Washington County Drug Task Force. A short time later, the gang unit joined this task force.
The Task Force's primary activities include surveillance, serving search warrants, seizing and halting the production of controlled substances and documenting known gang members and
suppressing their activities. Several other agencies such as the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Adult Probation and Parole (AP&P), and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) assist the Task Force with these functions. Intelligence meetings to share knowledge on drug users and dangerous individuals are conducted with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Mesquite Drug Task Force, AP&P and local law enforcement agencies.
