State Awards Money to Law Enforcement Task Forces

44 law enforcement agencies around Ohio received money aimed at helping their drug task forces enforce the state’s drug laws and combat illegal drug activity.

A total of three million dollars was awarded to the agencies.

In our region, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office received $5400, the Allen County Sheriff’s Office was awarded nearly $84,000, Auglaize County just over $76,000 and Logan County received $6000.

The money can be used by agencies to investigate drug trafficking organizations and disrupt the drug supply through intelligence gathering, information sharing, and multi-agency coordination. 

Grants can also be used to support local work to help drug overdose victims and their families through education, support, and treatment options.
