OTHER BUSINESS/ADJOURNMENT
Undersheriff McCabe indicated the Sheriff is expecting to present three additio nal Law Enforcement Service
Agreements at the next meeting.
Commissioner Covey asked how the Sheriff’s Office tracks/handles methamphetamine cases in Oakland
County, especially if the recent overdose death in Ferndale set off any alarms in the County. Undersheriff
McCabe indicated most methamphetamine incidents occur in the west ern part of the State, very rarely in
Oakland County. Ferndale has an Officer assigned to the Oakland County NET Team, but the Undersheriff
was unaware of the County’s involvement in this particular case. Due to the fact the waste is hazardous the
County would contact the DEA for “clean up” assistance. Currently the funds at the Federal level have gone
away; however, there is some movement in Washington DC to reallocate funds to local levels for “clean up” of
methamphetamine labs.
Chairperson Runestad described his tour of the Sheriff’s Administrative location complimenting their lab
equipment, high tech operation and results.
There being no other business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m.
