Also, it is noted that no grant match is required. The application is $458K and the prior year grantor funds were $217K. So additional consideration will need to be made as to what happens if the full application amount is not awarded (last year there was a request to use the limited grant match funding toward a voluntary match for the program).

Additional information about the EEOP requirements may be found at https://www.ojp.gov/abouUocr/eeop.htm. If the Applicant is a governmental entity: a. [twill comply with the requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisitions Policies Act of 1970, 42 U.S.C. § 4601 at seq., which governs the treatment of persons displaced as a result of federal and federally -assisted programs; and, b. R will comply with requirements of 5 U.S.C. §§ 1501-08 and §§ 7324-26, which limit certain political activities of state or local government employees whose principal employment is in connection with an activity financed in whole or in part by federal assistance. 10. It shall comply with the requirements of Title 8, United States Code, Section 1373 (Section 1373), which addresses the exchange of information regarding citizenship and immigration status among federal, state, and local government entities and officials. Subsection (a) prevents federal, state and local government entities and officials from "prohibit[ing] or in any way restrict[ing]" government officials or entities from sending to, or receiving from, federal immigration officers information concerning an individual's citizenship or immigration status. Subsection (b) provides that no person or agency may "prohibit, or in any way restrict," a federal, state, or local government entity from (1) sending to, or requesting or receiving from, federal immigration officers information regarding an individual's immigration status, (2) maintaining such information, or (3) exchanging such information with any other federal, state, or local government entity. Section 1373 does not impose on states and localities the affirmative obligation to collect information from private individuals regarding their immigration status, nor does it require that states and localities take specific actions upon obtaining such information. Rather, the statute prohibits government entities and officials from taking action to prohibit or in any way restrict the maintenance or intergovernmental exchange of such information, including through written or unwritten policies or practices. Your personnel must be informed that notwithstanding any state or local policies to the contrary, federal law does not allow any government entity or official to prohibit the sending or receiving of information about an individual's citizenship or immigration status with any federal, state or local government entity and officials. G. Non-Sugplantir= It is imperative that the Applicant understand that the nonsupplanting requirement mandates that grant funds may be used only to supplement (increase) an Applicant's budget, and may not supplant (replace) state, local or tribal funds that an Applicant, inclusive of any subcontractors, otherwise would have spent on positions and/or any other items approved in the Grant Budget if it had not received a grant award. This means that if your agency plans to: 1. Hire new positions (including filling existing vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency's budget), it must hire these additional positions on or after the official grant award start date, above its current budgeted (funded) level of positions. 2. Rehire personnel who have already been laid off (at the time of application) as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts, it must rehire the personnel on or after the official grant award start date, and maintain documentation showing the date(s) that the positions were laid off and rehired. 3. Maintain personnel who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date as a result of state, local or tribal budget cuts, it must continue to fund the personnel with its own funds from the grant award start date until the date of the scheduled lay-off (e.g., if the grant award start date is July 1 and the lay-off is scheduled for October 1, then the grant funds may not be used to fund the officers until October 1, the date of the scheduled layoff), and maintain documentation showing the date(s) and reason(s) for the lay- off. [Please note that as long as your agency can document the date that the lay-off(s) would occur if the grant funds were not available, it may transfer the personnel to the grant funding on or immediately after the date of the lay-off without formally completing the administrative steps associated with a lay-off for each individual personnel.] 4. Documentation that may be used to prove that scheduled lay-offs are occurring for local economic reasons that are unrelated to the availability of grant funds may include (but are not limited to) council or departmental meeting minutes, memoranda, notices, or orders discussing the lay-offs; notices provided to the individual personnel regarding the date(s) of the layoffs; and/or budget documents ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction -wide budget cuts. These records must be maintained with your agency's grant records. H.

The Oakland County Narcotic Enforcement Team (N.E.T.) is a multi -jurisdictional task force that was created to encourage cooperation between law enforcement departments within Southeast Michigan and other federal agencies. N.E.T. works cooperatively in an effort to apprehend and convict those involved in the use, sale, and distribution of illegal drugs and narcotics. 08/03/2021 Page 6 of 27 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Application - 22 Organization: N.E.T. - County of Oakland 00000006-N.E.T.-22 Problem Statement Please provide a clear description of the problem. Include local data that describes the size, nature, or scope of the problem_ Include an explanation of the impact of the problem in your community and the local criminal justice system. Specific data from your jurisdiction is required. Please see the Word document attached for the Problem Statement 08/03/2021 Page 7 of 27 FY 2022 PROBLEM STATEMENT Investieation & Enforcement: Oakland County is a geographically and economically diverse region that is home to more than 1.2 million residents. The county is comprised of wealthy suburbs, rural stretches, and poor urban areas - including a county seat of Pontiac, which has one of the highest crime rates in the state of Michigan. According to the most recent MSP Crime Data and Statistics, in the year 2019, Pontiac crime made up 15%of Oakland County's overall crimes and 37% of violent crimes. In addition, Oakland County borders the city of Detroit and is located directly south of Flint- regions that continue to lead the nation in violent crime. According to FBI statistics released in September 2020, (for the year 2019), of cities with 100,000 or more people, Detroit is listed lnnationwide in a ranking of violent crime for the second consecutive year. Detroit reported 1,965 violent crimes per 100,000 people. Flint reported 1,284 violent crimes, ranking 15th nationally among cities with more than 50,000 residents. With Michigan situated between Chicago and New York City and having two of its own cities that are major border crossings into Canada, multiple airports and freeway networks make Oakland County attractive to out-of-state dealers looking to transport drugs and money throughout southeastern Michigan. Interstate and international drug trafficking organizations use 1-75, 1-96 and 1-94 as a gateway for narcotics distribution and commute regularly between Detroit, Flint, and Pontiac supplying illegal drugs to local dealers and criminal groups in these and other areas. Oakland County's drug problem is complex and multi -faceted. There are major drug distribution networks conducting large-scale operations, involving cocaine, heroin, meth and prescription drugs. There are mid -level dealers distributing narcotics in all areas of the county and street -level dealers operating in urban areas of the county. The distribution of illegal drugs is not limited to a specific jurisdiction. In order to combatthis distribution of illegal drugs, the multijurisdictional task force is the most effective means. It takes cooperation between agencies and departments to combat illegal drug distribution and related violent crime. The NETstreet teams have identified drug trafficking organizations and criminal groups within the county. Their goals are to disrupt and dismantle these drug trafficking organizations. The NET conspiracy team has identified interstate and international drug trafficking organizations. It plans to disrupt and dismantle these organizations working with federal agencies. To help combat the opioid crisis, the NET unit also commits resources to a crew to identify, investigate, and pursue prosecution against doctors, pharmacies, and pain clinics that divert prescription drugs to the street for illegal consumption. NET investigators have identified the primary drug trafficking problem to be heroin, crack cocaine, meth, and prescription pain killers. The NET Board has set the disrupting and dismantling of these drug trafficking organizations to be the top priority. NET disrupted 5 DTO's from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. The drug problem in Oakland County is further shown by the statistics generated by NET in previous years. From July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, NET initiated 379 investigative complaints and had 159 drug arrests. As ulustantia I portion of these investigations and arrests were high impact cases that targeted mid to upper level dealers. NET continued to have large seizures of narcotics during this time frame: 5,040.19 grams of cocaine; 335.49 grams of heroin; 4,903.5 units and 365.52 grams of prescription drugs; 2,559.42 grams of meth; 1,812.93 grams of fentanyl (up from 308.9 grams during the same time as last year); along with a total of 500 pounds; 469 units, and 4,009.6 grams of other drugs (including various forms of synthetics and hallucinogens; up from 49.33 units and 659.35 grams). It is evident that Oakland County is a prime area for prescription drug abuse and larger level dealers to import and distribute cocaine throughout Michigan. The location of arrests, investigations, and seizures were throughout Oakland County, from the more populous urban areas such as Troy, Hazel Park, Waterford and Pontiac to the more rural areas like Commerce, White Lake and Oakland Townships. Drug treatment data from the Oakland Community Health Network underscores this problem. Oakland County reported a total of 5,180 substance use treatment admissions in Fiscal Year 2020. Of the primary substances reported at admission, alcohol had the highest admissions to treatment at 42% of total admissions, followed by heroin (34%), prescription and other opiates (10%), cocaine (8%), marijuana (3%) , methamphetamine ( 1.4%), and benzodiazepines (1%). From 2019 to 2020, treatment admissions for alcohol use increased by 1.2%, heroin use increased by 2.4%, prescription drugs increased by 0.9%, Cocaine increased by 1.8% and marijuana decreased by 34 %. Benzodiazepines saw a 17%decrease and methamphetamine use increased by47%, (Please note: The above data is being reported as "duplicated". Duplicated data counts multiple admissions for the some individual within the year.) Drug trafficking is not a standalone problem in Oakland County. The illegal use and distribution of narcotics impacts the criminal justice system and harms the community in numerous ways. Youth related crime is more prevalent, and burglaries and theft become an issue as drug users seek the means to finance their habits. Violent crime can escalate to homicide as dealers look to settle drug related debts and disputes. Unintentional overdose leads to death, particularly with the use of heroin as previously shown. As a result, drug -related crime weighs down the criminal justice system, putting a strain on the county's law enforcement and judicial systems. Prosecution: To combat drug -related crimes, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office operates a specialized Trafficking Unit that is trained to prosecute repeat and large-scale drug offenders. This team plays an important role in the investigative process and is on call around the clock to assist law enforcement agencies with search warrant preparation and to field legal questions that arise during the course of an investigation_ The Section Leader also conducts in-service trainings for the members of the Narcotics Enforcement Team to keep detectives abreast of changes in the law. The Trafficking Unit concentrates its efforts on cases dealing with the manufacture and distribution of controlled substances both by individuals and criminal organizations. The members of the section are well versed in the areas of law which are frequently litigated in drug crimes. Fourth Amendment, search and seizure, entrapment, the informer's privilege, conspiracies, venue, and criminal enterprises are just a few such areas. Even with the change in legislation regarding the criminality of marijuana, offenses continue to occur. For example, individuals continue to engage in the illegal manufacture of marijuana products by extracting resin from the plant utilizing the highly flammable chemical, butane. In one case in particular, a defendant attempted to make marijuana hash oil using butane. Defendant's house caughtfire. Police and firefighters responded. Upon extinguishing the fire, both firefighters and police observed and smelled a large amount of marijuana. The cause of the fire was the butane vapors combining with the ignition of the gas water heater. Defendant was charged with and pleaded guilty to Arson. Methamphetamine use and distribution infiltrated the county several years ago, and the number of arrests and prosecutions involving this highly addictive drug continue to increase. Offers to sell this substance are often blatant and advertised on various social media sites frequently in conjunction with promises of dates/sex/prostitution. Hotels are common meeting places for these types of exchanges which creates a danger for the public utilizing the businesses for legitimate travel/housing. It is not uncommon for persons on these social media sites to sell to people they have never met. Such business practices increase the risk of robberies of either the drug or the cash profits. Firearms are often present because of this added danger. Unless manufactured locally, methamphetamines are shipped or transported both interstate and internationally. There has been an increase in package interception from international sources. The dark web is a major source of this controlled substance. Large quantities have been identified by postal inspectors pre -delivery, which has allowed law enforcement to make controlled deliveries and identify co- conspirators. Additionally, in several cases, defendants have been charged and convicted for being in possession of the precursors utilized in the manufacturing of crystal methamphetamine. This offense, punishable by up to 20 years in prison, allows detectives to preempt defendants' ability to begin the process of manufacturing methamphetamine. The manufacturing process can result in explosions thereby placing in danger innocent persons in the nearby vicinity. Beginning in January 2021, the Narcotics Section was renamed the Trafficking Unit as the unit now prosecutes drugtrafficking and human trafficking cases. Human trafficking cases are on the rise in Oakland County. Police departments in jurisdictions that have many hotels and motels are receiving an increase in citizen complaints regarding the amount of prostitution that occurs there. Like sellers of methamphetamine, human traffickers often utilize social media sitesto exploit and prostitute women and children. The "dates' that are arranged frequently include a request from the john for the purchase or use of drugs. Additionally, victims of human trafficking are often addicted to a drug that is supplied to them by their trafficker. The trafficker often withholds the drugs from the victim, keeping the victim "dope sick" and in need of the trafficker to obtain that much -craved fix. By withholding the supply of the drug, the trafficker keeps the victim in a position that she will continue to engage in "dates" in order to obtain a fix. Meanwhile, the trafficker continues to make large profits from the exploitation of the victim. By supplying drugs to the victims and the individuals who are on "dates" with the victims, Human Traffickers are, therefore, engaged in the illegal distribution of drugs in order to maintain their profitable illegal business. The Trafficking Unit currently has 12 active human trafficking cases despite there not being a task force specifically designed to investigate human trafficking cases. In one pending case, law enforcement arranged for a "date" via Listcrawler.com — a website commonly used by traffickers to advertise the women and/or children they exploit. The officer arranged to meet the victim at a nearby hotel. Officers conducted surveillance outside the hotel and watched as the defendant drove the victim to the date. When the undercover officer gave the bust signal, officers converged on Defendant's vehicle. Inside the vehicle was about $3,000 in cash. Defendant had an additional $2,500 on his person. He was arrested for transporting for purposes of prostitution. Officers interviewed the victim who relayed that she was a victim of human trafficking. She was trafficked out of state and eventually ended up in Michigan where she met the defendant. The victim gave officers consent to search her phone. Officers found text messages between the victim and defendant discussing his physical abuse of her. There was also a photo of the defendant with stacks of money. Police searched the defendant's phone as well. Contained within that phone are messages between the defendant and victim discussing him supplying her with drugs and alcohol. Defendants phone also had the Text Now application on it that allowed him to monitor and control the text messages of the women who he trafficked. The defendant made thousands of dollars daily by exploiting the drug addiction of many women. In another human trafficking case, police set up a prostitution sting in a hotel. They arranged for an undercover officer to have a "date" with a woman posted on listcrawler.com. Surveillance officers watched as the woman was dropped off at the hotel. The driver of that vehicle then proceeded to drop women off at other nearby hotels. The officers arrested the woman for solicitation after she was given $150.00 of prerecorded funds. The woman agreed to speak with officers and told them thatthe defendant had been her pimp for about a month. She noted that she does about 6 dates per day and gives all of her money to the defendant. Defendant allows her to keep $20.00 per day and keeps the rest of the money to provide her with crack and heroin. Ultimately the police discover that the defendant has at least 4 women working for him. The defendant takes all of the money the women make from dates. In turn, he provides them with drugs, spending about $1,200 daily to support the drug habits of the women. The women described beatings they would receive from the defendant when they would keep some of the money they earned from dates or give away some of the drugs he provided them. Journals that officers found in the hotel rooms corroborate their version of events as did the statement of the man the defendant paid to transport the women to their dates, rent cars, and rent hotel rooms. Prescription drug abuse — particularly use of Dihydrocodeinone (Vicodin), Alprazolam (Xanax), and Oxycodone — continues to rise with addiction to painkillers stemming from both legitimate treatment for injuries and recreational use. The demand for opiate -based drugs leads to doctor shopping and fake or forged prescriptions. In some instances, medical professionals are directly involved in the illegal distribution of controlled substance prescriptions or the substances themselves. Dismantling medical offices involved in this type of criminal behavior is critical; however, investigation and prosecution of these cases is time-consuming, complex, and labor intensive. Recently, investigations have shown that many dealers are manufacturing pills and marketing them as Alprazolam or other control substances. In fact, many of these homemade pills have been determined to lack the presence of an identifiable controlled substance. This fraud being committed upon the consumer creates a high risk for retaliation and additional health risks by ingestion of unknown substances by the ultimate user. Prescription drug abuse has also contributed to an alarming rise in heroin use among teens and young adults. Increasingly young people are fraudulently obtaining, using, and selling opiate -based prescription drugs. When these pills become unavailable ortoo expensive, heroin presents a less expensive alternative, in the monetary sense. The heroin epidemic in Oakland County is alarming. Heroin sales are increasing at an exponential rate. Furthermore, numerous opiate traffickers are promoting their product —wittingly or unwittingly— as heroin when in reality, the chemical analysis proves the substance to be fentanyl, a drug with a much stronger potency than heroin. This mixture is being sold unbeknownst to the consumer. Ingestion of fentanyl, believed to be heroin, can be and is, at times, deadly. With the increase in availability, the price is driven down making it more affordable for a larger number of people. Defendants are being found with larger and larger quantities and making big profit. Several active cases exist where the dealer is in possession of large quantities of heroin, enough to supply many lower scale dealers and users. Despite the spike in heroin sales, cocaine distribution is still ongoing. In a recent case NET detectives executed search warrants at four homes associated with the defendant. Ultimately officers recovered 123 grams of cocaine in a red van that the police had observed Defendant go to prior to controlled buys for cocaine. In addition to the cocaine, officers recovered about 19 grams of heroin, 39 grams of fentanyl, a gun, and ammunition. Detectives in this case and many others located large amounts of cash and expensive jewelry. This money demonstrates how the financial incentive and profit margin, when weighed against the amount of potential incarceration, fails to serve as a sufficient deterrent to engaging in criminal behavior. Defendants' ability to hire attorneys to handle appeals even while incarcerated, evidences that many offenders have other members of their drug trafficking organization available to maintain business as usual to fund their defense. In preparing for cases, members of the Trafficking Unit regularly listen to recorded jail calls of defendants in custody. A substantial amount of valuable information can be gained through these efforts. However, the task is burdensome, and time consuming, without means of a short cut. Listening to calls of inmates who have nothing but time and frequently unlimited funds to place calls is extremely tedious yet often beneficial. For example, other members of the DTO can be identified, stashes of drugs located and importantly, admissions heard. Similarly, advances in technology over this past year have afforded law enforcement greater access to a larger variety of electronic devices utilized by traffickers. These tools, while extremely useful in gathering evidence, are time consuming in our ability to analyze the volumes of data created. Hours, days, weeks, and sometimes months are necessary to sort through the material searching for relevant and helpful information. And last year's Performance Measures: Prosecution: The Trafficking Unit of the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office will track and evaluate the following metrics to measure progress and demonstrate accountability. 1. Number of cases investigated and prosecuted where the offenders met the minimum criteria for special prosecution. 2. Number of defendants charged. 3. Number of defendants convicted. 4. Number of Class I, II, and III defendants identified and convicted. 5. Number of Class IV and V defendants identified and convicted. 6. Number of individuals incarcerated and the lengths of sentences. The prosecution section will monitor the number of cases in the county where defendants are charged with various types of controlled substance offenses involving drugs on the rise, such as heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. This additional information assists law enforcement in determining their effectiveness in detecting these types of offenders, as well as informing law enforcement of changes or increases in the drugs of choice.

FY 2022 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Investigation & Enforcement: The Oakland County Narcotic Enforcement Team (NET) was established in 1971 as a multi -jurisdictional task force dedicated to combatting the distribution of illegal drugs and the associated violent crime. Through NET, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies collaborate to identify, investigate, and prosecute drug traffickers and dismantle their organizations. Management Plan: NET is overseen by an Advisory Board which meets regularly to help set policy and provide direction to the task force. Each department and agency that commits a full-time officer to the task force is represented on the Advisory Board. NET is supervised and administered by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) and is supported by personnel from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and sixteen local police departments. Oakland County's staffing commitment includes the NET unit commander (Lieutenant), 3 team leaders (Sergeants), 1 Prosecutor's investigator, 5 team members (Deputies), 1 part-time forfeiture assistant and 4 administrative positions (secretary, auditor, property room technician, and office assistant). The OCSO also commits investigative buy funds, confidential informant payments, office space, utilities, phones, vests, vehicles, and all other equipment and supplies needed for task force operation. Additional full-time team members are supplied by participating police departments from the following municipalities, which contribute their officers' salaries, fringe benefits, and related overtime costs to support NET operations: Auburn Hills Farmington Hills Pontiac Troy Birmingham Ferndale Rochester Hills Waterford Township Bloomfield Township Hazel Park Rochester West Bloomfield Commerce Township Madison Heights Royal Oak Village of Franklin For the 2021-2022 project period, NET will continue to carry out activities in support of its mission: to encourage interagency cooperation in an effort to apprehend and convict those involved in the use, sale, and distribution of illegal drugs and narcotics. Specifically, the task force will remain focused on reducing and solving drug related criminal activity, supporting local agencies challenged by resource limitations (including budget constraints and reductions in force), and furthering investigative partnerships at all levels. Heroin, prescription opiates, methamphetamine, and cocaine will be targeted as priority drugs for FY 2022 and NET will expand community outreach efforts to educate the public on the dangers of these drugs, including death and serious injury from overdose. In recent years, NET has dedicated a portion of its personnel to a specialized Conspiracy crew that identifies and investigates large level drug organizations, multi -state organizations, and those that ship drugs using Fed 08/03/2021 Page 8 of 27 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Application - 22 Organization: N.E.T. - County of Oakland 00000006-N.E.T.-22 Project Description Ex, UPS, and the US Postal Service throughout the county. The NET unit further commits resources to this team to identify, investigate, and pursue prosecution against doctors, pharmacies, and pain clinics that divert prescription drugs to the street for illegal consumption. Investigations of this nature would not be possible without contribution from the Byrne Justice Assistance program, which supports two of the three sergeants assigned to NET. These positions serve as crew leaders for NET's conspiracy team and one of two street teams and are key members of both operations. Because task force guidelines require each crew to be directly supervised by a sergeant, the loss or further reduction of Byrne funding would cut the number of specialized teams, significantly hampering NET's ability to target the trafficking of heroin and other illicit drugs. Byrne funding also provides essential support for a part-time office clerk who assists OCSO with tracking and reporting the NET statistics used to evaluate task force progress. Prosecution: Management Plan: The Trafficking Unit of the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office consists of four assistant prosecuting attorneys, one of whom serves as a Section Leader supervising the other three. The Section Leader reports to the Chief of Litigation, who reports to the Chief Assistant Prosecutor, who in turn reports to the county's elected Prosecutor. In January 2013, the Narcotics Section of the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office began the additional task of reviewing investigations for the purpose of authorizing arrest warrants. Section members continue to meet with law enforcement officers to examine cases and determine appropriate charges for the suspects involved in an investigation. Whether a case is reviewed for issuance of a warrant by the vertical prosecution unit depends on several factors, the most important being the severity of the offense and the prior history of the offender. This process allows prosecutors to request that further investigation be completed prior to charging, if necessary. It also aids by allowing those prosecutors most familiar with the intricacies of the chain of distribution and conspiracy law to appropriately levy charges against the various members of drug trafficking organizations. Regardless of whether the arrest warrant was authorized by a member of the Narcotics Section or the Warrants Division of the Prosecutor's Office, all cases where a controlled substance charge is issued are reviewed by the Narcotics Section Leader to determine the appropriateness of vertical prosecution. Additionally, in an attempt to minimize litigation surrounding the sufficiency of search warrant affidavits, the Narcotics Section reviews with some regularity, affidavits prepared by detectives prior to presentation to the magistrates for signing. In January 2021, the Narcotics Section was renamed the Trafficking Unit as the unit handles the prosecution of drug and human traffickers. Human traffickers often engage in drug trafficking to maintain control over the victims they traffic. Many of the victims are addicted to drugs and rely upon their trafficker for their daily supply of drugs in order to avoid the painful and uncomfortable experience of withdrawal, or "dope sickness. " The trafficker uses the drugs to control the women they traffic by making the receipt of drug contingent upon their doing "dates" or prostituting themselves with all of the profits going back to the trafficker. Human traffickers often supply drugs as part of the arranged "date' if the use of drugs is requested by the customer as part of the deal. Given that human and drug trafficking are so closely intertwined, the Trafficking Unit is responsible for the prosecution of both types of cases. The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office will continue with this approach during the 2021-2022 project period with the support of Byrne Justice Assistance funding. Assessment of each offender will enable prosecutors to target and track repeat offenders and mid -level and upper -level traffickers. It will also allow the Section to pay 08/03/2021 Page 9 of 27 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Application - 22 Organization: N.E.T. - County of Oakland 00000006•N.E.T.•22 Propect Description special attention to file groups, which may contain crossover defendants/informants. Maintaining control over files where defendants are also acting as informants is tantamount to successful prosecution in cases where the informant becomes the key witness. The Trafficking Unit will continue to provide training to law enforcement agencies on proper search warrant preparation, courtroom etiquette and testimony, informant use, as well as update narcotics enforcement team officers on changes in statutes and case law that affect investigation procedures (including in -custody interrogations), evidence collection, and arrest and search warrant requests. The Trafficking Unit will continue to further NET's mission through aggressive prosecution and minimal plea-bargaining in a focused effort to reduce drug related crime in Oakland County. Prosecutors who are well versed in the area of law specific to dismantling drug trafficking operations will apply critical knowledge of drug organizations and connections between suppliers and their distributors to aid NET in this effort. Successful prosecution of drug trafficking organizations is dependent upon these skills, which are obtained through years of experience in prosecuting narcotics offenders. Currently the section members have a combined 50 years of prosecution experience with over 19 years specializing in drug related crimes. During July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office accepted 170 cases for vertical prosecution. Of the Section's ongoing cases, 275 drug and drug -related offenders were dispositioned, 96 were convicted, and the average minimum prison sentence for those incarcerated was 43.75 months. Success at this level would not be possible — and is not sustainable — without a fully staffed team of highly qualified and experienced prosecutors. To this affect, Byrne Justice Assistance funding is requested to continue supporting one of four assistant prosecuting attorney positions in the Trafficking Unit for FY 2021-2022. 08/03/2021 Page 10 of 27 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Application - 22 Organization: N.E.T. - County of Oakland 00000006-N.E.T.-22 Project Timeline *First Quarter Please see attached document for complete timeline Personnel expenses October 2021—December 2021: $114,703 Execute 50 search warrants, conduct 125 investigations and make 52 arrests.

Activity(ies): NET officers who are not working undercover will reach out to community centers and schools to offer presentations on drug awareness. Presenters will speak about the dangers of drug use, how to spot illegal activity, and what to do and where to go for help. 08/03/2021 Page 14 of 27 FY 2022 ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES & PERFORMANCE MEASURES Investieation & Enforcement: The Oakland County Narcotic Enforcement Team will track and monitor the following metrics to measure impact and determine whether the task force is meeting its objectives: • Number of complaints initiated/investigated • Number of search warrants served/executed • Number of informants developed • Number of arrests • Number of Multijurisdictional Drug Trafficking Organizations Disrupted/Dismantled • Number of parole violators + Number of fugitives located • Amount of drugs seized and purchased (units/grams/other) • Cooperation with HIDTA and utilization of those resources: Number of deconflictions: Number of cases matched: • Number of officers assigned to the taskforce These metrics will be analyzed and compared to previous years' data to identify trends and success rates. Results will be shared at NET Advisory Board meetings to discuss challenges and improvements to the task force. The Advisory Board's input will be crucial in determining how successful the task force is and where its efforts should be focused moving forward. In addition to guidance from the Advisory Board, NETwill seek input from outside the taskforce to evaluate and furtherthe team's progress. Local community leaders will be invited to share their concerns and meetings with federal agencies will be conducted to gather input that will be used to assist NET in furthering its objectives. Prosecution: The Narcotics Section of the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office will track and evaluate the following metrics to measure progress and demonstrate accountability. • Number of full-time prosecutors assigned to the section • Number of cases investigated and prosecuted where the offenders met the minimum criteria for special prosecution • Number of defendants charged • Number of defendants convicted • Number of individuals incarcerated and the lengths of sentences • Average time from charge through conviction of a defendant The prosecution section will monitor the number of cases in the county where defendants are charged with various types of controlled substance offenses involving drugs on the rise, such as heroin and methampheta mine. This additional information assists law enforcement in determining their effectiveness in detecting these types of offenders, as well as informing them of changes or increases in the drugs of choice. Anticipated Outcomes: By increasing the number of drug offenders who are investigated and prosecuted, this project is expected to help reduce the overall crime growth rate, disrupt the distribution of dangerous drugs, and impact violent crime by removing dangerous criminals from the Oakland County communities. Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Application - 22 Organization: N.E.T. - County of Oakland 000000064E.T.-22 Budget Narrative The Budget Narrative must thoroughly and clearly describe every category of expense listed in the budget. Proposed budgets must be complete, cost effective, and allowable (e.g., reasonable, allocable, and necessary for project activities). This narrative should include a full breakdown of costs, as well as an overview of how funds will be allocated a crossed approved budget categories. Applicants should demonstrate in their budget narratives how they will maximize cost effectiveness of grant expenditures. Budget narratives should generally describe cost effectiveness in relation to potential alternatives and the goals of the project. For example, a budget narrative should detail why planned in -person meetings are necessary, or how technology and collaboration with outside organizations could be used to reduce costs, without compromising quality. The narrative should be mathematically sound and correspond with the information and figures provided in each budget category. The narrative should explain how the applicant estimated and calculated all costs, and how they are relevant to the completion of the proposed project. The narrative may include tables for clarification purposes but need not be in a spreadsheet format. As with the timeline, the Budget Narrative should be broken down by quarter. 2022 Budget Narrative Oakland County Narcotic Enforcement Team (N.E.T.) is requesting funding of four (4) personnel positions. The Oakland County Sheriffs Office will request Byrne funding assistance for three (3) positions (2 Sergeants, and 1 part-time Office Support Clerk), and the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office will request assistance for one (1) Assistant Prosecuting Attomey (APA) assigned to the Narcotics Section. Funding would include salary and fringe benefits for each position: $301,517 total salary and $157,295 total fringe benefits. The total project cost required is $458,812 to fund these four (4) positions. The individual costs were forecasted by Oakland County Fiscal Services for FY 2022. Position: Salary plus Fringe Benefits Sergeant #1: $90,798 salary + $52,731 fringe benefits for total of $143,529 Sergeant #2: $90,798 salary + $52,731 fringe benefits for total of $143,529 OfficeAsst.: $22,846 salary + $1,007 fringe benefits for total of $23,853 APA: $97,075 salary + $50,826 fringe benefits for total of $147,901 Totals: $301,517 salary total + $157,295 fringe benefits total for grand total of $458,812 In recent years, NET has dedicated a portion of its personnel to a specialized Conspiracy crew that identifies and investigates large level drug organizations, multi -state organizations, and those that ship drugs using Fed Ex, UPS, and the US Postal Service throughout the county.
