Description
The BUNCOMBE COUNTY Sheriff's Office selected four individuals from different divisions of the agency to comprise a team for thirty days to address an ill structured problem. The team is made up of self motivated, hard working, and knowledgeable individuals. They work as a team and independently. Team facilitators assisted as needed.
A
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
Purpose
for
being
here,
of
course,
is
to
give
you
a
presentation
about
our
journey
that
we
call
cops
team
five.
The
first
thing,
of
course,
we
did
as
a
team
is
to
learn
exactly
what
a
cop's
team
was
cop
stands
for
community
oriented
problem
solved.
It
is
a
philosophy
designed
to
give
a
sense
of
overall
community
and
develop
community
contacts
that
can
impact
future
problems.
Of
course,
we
were
told
this
consists
of
three
components:
community
partnership,
organizational
transformation
and
problem-solving.
A
Next
thing
we
did
was
to
find
out
how
we
came
to
be
here.
The
Sheriff's
Office
selected
five
individuals
from
different
divisions
of
the
agency
to
compromise
a
team
for
30
days
to
address
an
ill,
structured
problem.
The
team
is
made
up
of
self
motivated,
hardworking
and
knowledgeable
individuals.
Of
course,
we
heard
that
we
were
pretty
happy
to
know
we've
been
fit
says
they
will
work
as
a
team
and
independently
team
facilitators
will
be
available
to
guide
as
needed.
A
All
of
our
documentation
is
attached
to
OCA
report
number
2012,
zero,
zero,
eight
one,
seven,
two
and
y'all
would
please
we
would
be
very
happy
if
y'all
would
go
check
that
out
check
out
everything.
We
did
all
our
paperwork
and
kind
of
how
we
did
everything
now
I'd
like
to
introduce
our
team
I'm
Larry
Sanders
I'm,
with
the
transportation
division
from
the
Detention
Facility.
We
also
have
Maria
reenact
for
property
and
evidence
Robert
stone
from
Patrol
and
Jaime
Stern
from
detention.
Our
team
also
consisted
of
Abby
cat
agent.
Of
course
he
wishes
to
remain
anonymous.
A
Our
facilitators
were
sergeant
Mike,
Murphy,
captain
rusty
Swezey
and
chief
Kevin
Presley.
The
next
thing
they
gave
to
us
was,
of
course,
our
community
problem.
Couldn't
e
problem.
We
were
given
reads
as
follows:
the
Buncombe
County
Sheriff's
Office
has
had
a
consistent
problem
in
Barnesville
with
complaints
about
drug
use
and
drug
trafficking.
A
Several
months
ago,
the
ane
TV
show
intervention
featured
a
young
Bernardsville
lady,
who
has
a
prescription
drug
addiction.
The
TV
show
documented
on
film
numerous
drug
deals
and
drug
usage
in
the
Barnesville
community.
This
created
quite
a
stir
and
increased
complaints,
even
though
we
have
not
had
an
increase
in
property
crime
in
that
general
area.
The
community's
perception
of
this
issue
is:
it
is
creating
an
unsafe
environment
and
impacting
the
quality
of
life
in
a
very
negative
way.
A
Your
assignment
of
the
next
four
weeks
will
be
to
work
with
the
Madison
County
Sheriff's
Office
sket,
the
community
and
any
other
agency
or
service
provider
to
impact
these
issues
and
leave
the
community
with
a
long-term
sustainable
plan
to
impact
the
problem,
even
though
this
is
ill
structured
problem
by
design
is
primarily
enforcement
driven.
The
team
should
be
very
conscious
of
non
enforcement
solutions
that
you
can
bring
to
the
community
think
I
have
a
long
term
impact
and
positively
impact
the
quality
of
life.
A
Well,
we're
given
that
problem
and
most
of
us
we're
not
even
familiar
with
the
Barnesville
area,
so
we
decided
do
a
little
research
find
out
exactly
what
we
were
dealing
with.
First
thing
we
did
was
pull
them
out,
find
exactly
where
in
Buncombe
County
Barnesville
was.
Some
of
us
didn't
even
know
that,
so
we
pulled
that
up
and
found
out.
You
know
exactly
what
we're
dealing
with
and
make
ourselves
familiar
with
the
terrain
and
where
we're
gonna
be
working
for
the
next
30
days.
A
We
use
the
zip
code,
2
8
7
0
9
as
a
reference
to
help
us
research,
our
problem,
we
pulled
up
some
census
information
find
out
exactly
who
and
what
we
were
dealing
with.
We
found
out
the
population
was
roughly
about
2200
25
people,
the
average
house
value
there.
Eighty-Seven
thousand
nine
hundred
the
average
household
income
was
twenty-eight
thousand
four
hundred
thirty
eight
dollars
a
year
and
the
median
age
was
kinda
surprised
me.
A
He
was
around
forty
five
and
a
half
years
old,
and
by
using
this
information
we
find
out
it's
not
a
very
diverse
groups,
kind
of
the
same
type
people
a
lot
of
families,
a
lot
of
people
that
have
known
each
other
for
years.
They
stay
in
that
community,
not
a
lot
of
new
people
moving
in.
So
everybody
kind
of
knew
everybody
next
thing.
Of
course,
we
did
was
to
pull
the
calls
for
service
to
see
what
kind
of
issues
they've
been
having
in
that
area.
A
Free
cops
team.
We
pulled
calls
for
service
from
8
1
2012
to
9
16
the
day
before
we
started
found,
they
were
161
calls
for
service.
During
the
time
we
were
out
there
from
9
17
2012
to
10
9
2012.
There
were
only
67
calls
for
service,
resulting
in
a
fifty
eight
point,
three
eight
percent
reduction
and
calls
for
service
to
us.
That
was
amazing.
A
I'd,
like
to
give
you
guys
something
to
think
about.
Imagine
if
we
could
do
this
in
every
area
of
Buncombe
County.
If
we
could
reduce
the
calls
for
service
almost
60%
with
everybody,
that
we
have
all
the
resources
we
have
tied
up
in
there,
imagine
all
the
better
things
we
could
do
with
our
time
and
energy
if
we
could
just
do
that
everywhere
in
Buncombe
County.
A
Next
thing
we
did
after
we
gather
information
was
sit
down
together
and
come
up
with
a
set
of
goals
that
we
felt
we
would
like
to
achieve
during
our
30
days.
Together,
we
came
up
with
this
list,
investigate
and
validate
the
perceived
problems.
Given
you
know
to
make
sure
that
that's
what
was
going
on
out
there,
that's
what
we
were
hearing,
but
is
that
truly,
what's
going
on
so
we
went
out,
wanted
to
go
there
and
find
out.
We
used
a
problem-based
learning
strategy
to
address,
solve
and
Institute
long
term
proactive
measures.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
what
we
do
continues
in.
That
area
identify
the
main
persons
of
interest
related
to
the
problem
that
wasn't
very
hard,
improving
networking
and
overall
relation
within
the
divisions
of
the
Sheriff's
Office,
and
we
want
to
engage
in
the
power
of
the
community
while
building
a
trusting
relationship
with
the
sheriff's
office.
When
we
went
out
there,
we
first
started
this:
they,
the
community
at
large,
really
wasn't
law
enforcement
friendly
everyone
kind
of
avoided
this.
They
all
know
each
other.
A
We
were
kind
of
the
strangers
coming
in
and
we
were
told
several
times
as
soon
as
we
got
off
the
interstate
they
knew
we
were
coming.
Everyone
in
that
community
was
on
the
phone
telling
everybody
we
were
coming
and
everybody
kind
of
ran
in
here,
but
the
more
we
talked
everybody,
the
more
everybody
got
to
know
us
everybody
started
waving
at
us.
They
knew
were
there,
they'd
stop
and
talk.
We
were
eating
somewhere,
people
come
up.
Talk
to
us
made
us
feel
real
good
felt
like
we
were,
making
making
a
real
impact.
A
We
wanted
to
use
a
team
approach.
How
we've
been
told
to
achieve
these
goals
that
we
had
said
the
team
used
the
community
oriented
problem-solving
concept
to
bring
brainstorm
and
bring
stream
ideas
for
addressing
the
problem?
Cops
team
five
sponsored
a
community
of
media
at
the
big
idea
community
center
to
provide
the
residents
an
opportunity
to
share
their
concerns
and
grievances.
The
team
also
met
with
the
business
owners
in
order
to
gather
further
information
on
the
issues
to
impact
the
business
sector.
We
then
sat
down
the
side
to
come
up
with
an
action
plan.
A
A
So
we
said
that
came
up
with
this
action
plan
as
a
way
to
accomplish
what
we
wanted
to
be
and
a
way
to
gauge
how
we
were
doing
our
action
plan
consisted
of
canvass
the
area
we
handed
out
flyers
and
establish
lines
of
communication
with
the
business
owners
and
residents.
It's
a
great
way
to
get
to
know
the
business
owners
the
people
there.
We
had
something
in
our
hands
to
give
them
to.
Let
them
know
we
were
there
and
why
we
were
there.
A
Sheriff
Duncan
and
the
team
would
attend
a
meeting
with
concerned
citizens
at
the
community
center
and
we
would
obtain
and
validate
a
list
of
open
warrants
for
the
2/8
7:09
zip
code,
and
then
we
would
attempt
service
on
all
those
warrants.
We
then
wanted
to
conduct
multiple
saturations
and
directed
patrols
in
order
to
increase
visibility
and
deter
criminal
activity.
We
wanted
to
attend.
Barnesville
Elementary
School's
fall
festival
was
just
as
it
happens,
fell
within
the
30
days.
We
were
gonna,
be
there.
A
We
wanted
to
conduct
a
meet
and
greet
at
the
Barnesville
elementary
school
to
get
to
know
the
kids
and
the
staff
there.
We
wanted
to
utilize
inmate
workers
for
a
day
of
beautification
at
the
big
ivy
Community
Center.
We
wanted
to
attend
a
Cub
Scout
meeting.
We
wanted
to
bring
major
MOUs
with
us.
We
also
wanted
to
meet
with
the
business
owners
who
lease
space
at
the
forks
of
ivy
Plateau.
Here's
a
copy
of
the
flyer
that
we
handed
out
I
had
the
community
center.
A
The
people
barn
is
a
little
given
the
opportunity
to
voice
their
perceived
complaints,
how
they
felt
crime
was
being
committed
who
was
doing
it
and
what
their
issues
were
as
opposed
to
what
our
issues
were.
So
we
gave
them
an
opportunity
that,
and
the
community
concerns
that
they
came
up
with
were
speeding
and
reckless
driving
on
paint.
A
Fork
Road
Stoney
fork
Road
in
Barnesville
Highway
had
some
issues
with
the
red
light
and
stop
sign
infractions
on
Dillingham,
Road
they're,
actually,
rebuilding
building
a
new
bridge
over
the
creek
there,
and
that's
the
only
two
red
lights
in
partnership
and
they're
temporary
was
set
up
and
it's
a
one
lane
road
and
all
the
workers
were
there
working
on
the
bridge
and
stuff
like
that,
and
a
lot
of
people
were
running
that
red
light
and
and
speaking
through
their
running,
stop
signs.
So
it
was
kind
of
a
danger
for
the
guys
working.
A
They
also
perceived
that
there
was
a
lack
of
officer
presence,
I
thought
there
was
drug
activity
in
the
area
they
wanted.
The
warrant
service
that
we
were
gonna
do
I
also
felt
out
of
scrap
metal
theft
problem.
Now,
then
turn
it
over
to
my
teammates
Jamie's
turn
is
gonna,
come
up
next
and
I'm
gonna.
Let
them
tell
you
exactly
how
we
implemented
our
action
plan
and
the
results
of
our
efforts.
Good.
B
Afternoon
my
name
is
Jamie
Stern
I
work
at
the
detention
center
I've
been
there
for
five
and
a
half
years
working
in
detention.
We
don't
get
to
get
out
in
the
community
as
often
as
we
would
like.
So
this
was
a
fabulous
opportunity
to
allow
some
of
our
detention
staff
to
get
to
do
that.
We
went
to
several
festivals
interactions
with
the
community.
While
we
were
out
there,
the
Fall
Festival
was
the
first
one
we
went
to
and
it
was
probably
the
most
supportive
one.
B
B
In
patrol
cars,
we
were
fortunate
to
be
able
to
bring
major
MOUs
with
us
to
the
Fall
Festival,
which
kind
of
put
the
children
at
ease
they're,
not
just
seeing
a
standing
up
there
and
uniforms
with
guns
on
our
side
and
looking
kind
of
scary,
it's
kind
of
eased
our
transition
into
the
community
with
the
children
we
got
to
meet
with
miss
Heidi
Allison.
She
is
the
principal
the
one
in
the
dunk
tank
over
here.
B
B
Considering
this
is
such
a
small
community
and
we're
scary
to
kids,
and
this
really
helped
ease
us
into
that
transition.
Why
we
were
there?
We
got
to
meet
with
the
local
Cub
Scout
troop
there.
They
were
extremely
excited
to
see
us
there.
We
were
asked
to
go
to
a
meeting
that
they
had
on
Tuesday
night
at
6
o'clock
at
the
community
center
and
we
graciously
went.
We
brought
major
mouse
with
us
and
he
got
to
talk
to
the
children
interact
with
them.
B
Some
of
the
things
that
we
were
asked
to
talk
to
the
children
about
were
community
awareness
and
how
to
keep
ourselves
and
our
families
safe
and
what
they
can
do
to
be
productive
members
of
the
community.
We
were,
we
have
some
several
questions
from
their
Cub
Scout
manual,
which
they
knew
like
the
back
of
their
hand.
We
talked
about
bullies
and
why
it's
not
okay,
to
bully
or
be
bullied.
B
That
was
one
things
that
the
children
actually
brought
up
to
us
and
we
kind
of
just
flew
with
that,
because
it
was
a
major
concern
to
their
parents.
We
talked
the
important
we
talked
about
the
importance
of
community
and
what
it
means
to
be
a
good
citizen.
Prior
to
talking
to
the
kids,
we
sat
down
and
had
fellowship
with
them.
We
sat
down
and
ate
a
meal
with
them.
B
We
talked
to
their
parents,
we
talked
to
the
kids,
we
interacted,
we
played,
we
were
silly
and
that
that
gave
him
such
ease
and
such
comfort
to
come
up
to
us
and
to
talk
to
us
about
the
issues
that
they
have.
After
that
we
went
to
the
big
Ivy
Community
Center,
which
is
the
central
hub
of
this
community.
B
We
noticed
that
the
River
Walk
in
the
playground
and
the
basketball
court
in
the
pool
it
was
used
by
everybody
in
the
community.
Everybody
in
that
community
goes
to
the
community
center.
That's
basically
the
only
place
where
you
have
Wi-Fi
and
we
noticed.
While
we
were
out
there.
We
see
people
sitting
in
the
grass
using
their
computers,
children
running
playing
dogs.
B
One
of
the
negative
things
that
we
noticed
is
that
it
was
kind
of
falling
behind,
there's
only
four
members
of
their
board
and
we
had
a
chance
to
sit
with
their
board
and
asked
miss
Morgan.
You
know
what
can
we
do
while
we're
out
here
to
help
you
to
give
you
support
in
your
community
and
some
of
the
things
were
cleaning
up
the
ball
field,
the
ball
field,
the
grass
was
so
high.
I
would
come
up
to
your
hip.
The
the
bleachers
were
overgrown
with
weeds
and
flowers.
B
So
our
plan
of
action
we're
gonna
use
inmate
labor.
We
took
five
inmates
out
to
the
community
center.
We
cut
down
shrubbery,
we
cleaned
out
the
bleachers.
This
is
an
after
picture.
Cleaning
out
those
bleachers
this
little
building
right
here
is
a
historical
building
and
it
was
continuously
being
broken
into.
This
is
where
they
have
a
thrift
store
for
the
community,
and
people
were
breaking
in
because
they
couldn't
when
miss
Morgan
was
out
there.
She
couldn't
see
it
because
of
all
the
shrubbery
the
building
and
it
kept
getting
broken
into.
B
So
we
cut
down
those
trees.
We
cleaned
up
the
grounds
we
move
some
signs.
When
you
first
come
into
the
community
center,
you
can
see
their
accomplishments.
You
can
see
the
park
rules,
the
city
ordinances,
things
like
that
to
hope,
hopefully,
detour
criminal
activity.
Another
big
thing
that
we
did
that
I
didn't
know
that
other
cop
teams
did
was
go
out
to
the
communities
that
they
had
been
to.
B
B
B
C
Cuz
I
live
in
the
community
and-
and
we
want
to
thank
you
sheriff
Duncan
for
allowing
us
to
be
part
of
bringing
your
vision
to
the
citizens
of
Bernardsville
and
talking
with
deputy
tensley
of
the
chairs
office.
She
works
in
this
hill
process.
She
was
explaining
to
me
some
of
the
things
that
the
cops
team
did
and
I
didn't
have
a
clue.
She
was
talking
about
going
and
meeting
at
the
welcome
table
and
sat
down
in
the
community
and
speaking
with
those
folks,
and
that
wasn't
what
was
on
my
mind.
My
mind
was
answered.
C
My
calls
for
service
and
going
home
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
she
kept
talking
to
me
and
trying
to
get
me
on
board
with
that
and
eventually
hit
sank
in
about
over
the
second
week.
While
I
was
on
the
cops
team,
what
they
were
aren't
trying
to
get
me
to
see
and
our
team,
our
team
had
the
problem
that
we
were
given.
We
went
out
the
Barnesville
to
put
it
into
place.
D
C
Of
our
agency
sergeant
Oliver
from
the
skid
team
first
sergeant
past
tags
from
Highway
Patrol
gave
us
Roger
Katrina
Audra,
can't
mm-hmm
and
Sergeant
Baldwin
from
Transportation
and
officer.
Olson
came
out
with
us
and
since
there's
not
a
welcome
table
at
the
community
center
Barnesville
there's
only
two
places
to
eat
out
there
and
we
chose
one
of
them
for
breakfast,
which
was
deity
and
the
nd
is
kind
of
like
the
Welcome
Table
of
Barnesville.
C
C
Let
us
utilize
their
facility
there
for
our
heart
center
of
our
meetings
and
we
met
there,
and
that
was
a
staging
ground
for
transportation
on
our
warrant
service,
because
we
had
planned
such
a
big
warrant
service
that
sergeant,
Baldwin
and
and
deputy
host
was
going
to
well
beer
transport,
since
we
didn't
have
to
break
away
and
run
back
and
forth
to
this
Jail
on
our
water
service.
We
we
set
out
with
a
hundred
and
fifty
seven
active
warrants
and
network
was
on
a
hundred
and
sixteen
people
out
of
those
157
warrants.
C
We
were
able
to
serve
twenty
warrants
and
seven
people.
Seven
people
were
arrested
off
of
that,
and
that
was
done
in
one
day
and
a
half
half
of
that
being
the
skit
team
working
with
us
on
warrant
services
and
saturation
and
directed
patrol
as
well,
because
they
were
doing
double
duty
since
we
used
both,
we
use
their
members
to
do
both
things
at
once.
That
way,
if
someone
was
going
back
and
forth
trying
to
avoid
us,
they
were
working
to
deter.
C
C
It's
a
barn.
There
was
a
mattress
on
some
rafters
there
and
someone
had
been
mowing
around
it:
everything,
but
they
weren't
there.
When
we
went
to
serve
the
warrants,
we
were
able
to
determine
that
a
lot
of
these
warrants
had
fictitious
addresses
and
a
lot
of
people
had
moved
out
of
the
community
and
a
lot
of
the
even
some.
Some
people
had
moved
out
of
the
state
because
we
asked
some
neighbors,
hey
where's.
These
people,
at
you,
seen
these
people
and
said
they
haven't
lived
here
in
a
long
time,
so
we
were
able
to
make.
D
A
A
C
And
and
look
at
getting
some
of
those
out
of
the
system,
we'd
received
some
information
with
from
our
beacon
agent
and
and
the
other
members
of
the
yeah
that
one
of
our
most
wanted
persons
that
the
community
really
wanted
putting
to
hell
out
of
their
city
town
was
hiding
out
over
in
Madison
County.
So
we
contacted
Madison
County
along
with
B
Kent.
We
went
over
there,
captain
chef,
Neil,
Madison,
County,
Sheriff's,
Office,
assisted
us,
and
we
were
able
to
arrest
that
person.
C
He
had
11
outstanding
warrants
in
Buncombe
County,
one
outstanding
warrant
out
of
another
County
and
as
a
bonus,
his
girlfriend
was
there
with
him
and
she
had
outstanding
warrants
in
Baca
County.
They
were
felony
warrants,
probation
violation.
She
was
arrested
as
well,
and
that
was
a
big
I
was
big
relief
for
the
community.
C
We
didn't
tell
him
that
he
was
arrested,
but
the
next
day
on
my
way
into
work,
I
stopped
for
a
cup
of
coffee
at
D
and
D
and
I
was
told
that
he
was
arrested,
so
they
knew
he
was
arrested
even
as
we
were
taking
image.
He'll.
Probably
we
also
got
some
information
from
they
cared
of
some
people.
They
were
looking
for
and
had
interest
in
and
was
probably
in
the
wooded
area.
So
we
attempted
services
on
these
warrants
in
Woodfin
with
woods
and
police
department
and
yeah
hadn't
scared.
Also,
we
were
advised.
C
Of
them,
or
one
of
the
persons
was
in
Yancey
County,
the
female
was
in
Yancey
County.
That
was
part
of
that.
We
contacted
the
aunts,
County,
Sheriff's,
Office
and
deputy
Wilson
went
out
to
the
lady's
house
and
rested
her
and
contacted
us.
We
were
able
to
facilitate
that
and
in
the
community
meeting
we
were
advised
some
speeders
Barnesville
Highway
and
just
recently
we
had
a
fatality
on
Barnesville
Highway.
Just
prior
to
this
right
here
and
I.
C
We
had
an
incident
where
a
young
man
was
speeding
and
then
I
believe
it
was
impaired
as
well
and
he
tore
this
fence
down
right
here
where
this
sign
is
in
toward
a
sign
down,
had
been
there
for
many
years
and
as
a
result
of
that
community
got
together
and
I
think
with
the
pastor
and
petitioned
the
DMV
and
got
the
speed
reduced
from
55
down
to
45
right
through
there.
On
this
stretch
of
road
with
speed
limits
45
through
here
and
a
stony
for
area.
C
There
the
speed
limits,
not
posted,
so
it's
55,
but
there
were
some
concerns
about
speed
first
upstairs
well,
no,
and
while
we
were
doing
that
to
help
us
get
teams
highway,
patrol
and
ourselves,
three
speeding
citations
were
issued
and
one
written
warning
for
speed
was
issued
were
I.
Believe
you
lost
the
Highway
Patrol
for
our
radar.
While
we
were
eating
one
day,
ashiness
once
against
his
restaurant,
where
we
used
our
community
table,
for
instance,
and
for
our
meeting
we
were
sitting
there
eating.
C
We
were
approached
by
several
of
the
community
members
and
they
told
us
that
there
were
some
issues
up
there
around
the
bridge
and
one
of
the
workers.
There
I
think
it
was
a
crewman,
their
crew
leader.
He
advised
that
some
of
his
people
had
almost
been
hit
working
right
here
along
this
bridge.
As
corporal
sender
said,
it
is
one
lane
there
now
at
this
time
they
do
have
portable
red
lights
on
each
end,
and
he
said
people
continuously
run
it
all
day.
C
It's
a
two-minute
delay
on
the
light
and
it's
not
got
a
sensor
or
anything
in
the
ground.
It's
just
set
up
that
way.
So
let's
get
team
and
her
team
went
up
there.
We
did
some
high
visibility
patrols
in
the
area.
We
did
three
different
track:
traffic
surveillances
of
the
stop
signs
and
of
the
red
lights,
and
we
couldn't
find
any
violations.
C
It
appeared
that
everybody
that
came
down
to
the
stop
sign
saw
stopped
and
everybody
that
comes
to
the
red
lights
that
tear
through
the
whole
thing
I,
don't
know
why
they
didn't
want
to
run
it
with
a
sitter
and
some
of
our
saturation
patrols.
We
were
able
to
get
some
vehicles
off
the
street,
our
numbers
we
had
lemon
citations
issued.
We
make
three
drug
arrests
out
of
those
three
traffic
stops
and
we
had
three
written
warnings.
We
had
16
Tony
charges,
we
had
one
altered
tag.
We
had
two
marijuana
charges
along
with
two
paraphernalia
charges.
C
D
C
Just
a
little
bit
on
the
bottom
slide,
we
had
some
people
of
interest
come
through
our
or
our
license
check
there,
some.
What
I
was
talking
about
for
the
drugs
as
well,
and
some
of
the
comments
I
heard
was.
Why
were
we
out
here
and
we
asked
them
that
they
were
here
checking
license
and
making
sure
that
everybody
knows
that
we're
out
here
and
making
sure
there's
not
any
other
violations
if
they
come
through
the
checkpoint
lasted
for
an
hour
and
we
were
able
to
document
they
work
late
on
her
effective
patrol
checklist.
C
We
had
one
written
warning
issued,
so
we
come
to
the
conclusion
that
everybody
that
came
through
was
late,
going
doing
what
they
were
supposed
to
do.
One
lady
was
written
warning
for
an
expired
tag
that
had
been
expired
for
about
a
month,
or
so
we
were
able
to
assist
patrol
and
EMS
on
a
call
for
service.
This
was
due
to
a
drug
overdose.
They
do
to
a
dented
suicide
by
drugs,
and
we
were.
C
The
fire
chief
advised
us
that
they
just
received
another
call
for
service
off
of
Northfork
continent
lane
for
an
overdose
involving
methadone,
and
we
were
able
to
take
that
call
before
it
was
dispatched
to
Patrol.
So
patrol
could
go
answer.
Another
call
that
they
were
getting
as
we
were,
pulling
off
more
a
more
present
call
and
the
the
other
patrol
officers
that
were
there
were
able
to
go
back
to
their
zone
in
the
West,
and
that
would
get
them
back
to
nerves.
C
C
C
We
were
given
information
that,
through
our
bighead
agent,
they
may
be
a
suspected
meth
lab.
So
we
went
with
them
and,
and
they
get
that
address,
to
do
an
investigation
on
that
to
determine
whether
it
was
meth
left
and
found
out.
It
was
not
a
meth
lab,
but
the
people
there
melt,
email,
weren't
used,
marijuana
had
marijuana
and
paraphernalia
and
the
female
had
outstanding
warrants.
C
File
festival,
lady,
come
up
to
us
and
said:
hey,
there's
some
drug
activity
going
on
at
the
end
of
paper
out.
Hall
branch
I
want
to
check
that
out.
We
were
able
to
go
up
there
and
we
found
the
house
and
we
did
a
knock-and-talk
and
the
female
had
outstanding
warrants
and
she
was
arrested
as
well
and
we
made
the
folks
up.
They
were
like
contact
with
the
folks
up
there
close
to
the
end
the
road
they
were
elderly.
C
We
did
another
knocking
poke
on
her
residence
at
pompeii,
Fork
Road
that
the
community
advised
us
that
was
possibly
a
good
had
some
suspicious
activity
and
maybe
a
drug
house,
and
now
we
went
there
with
me
captive,
knocking
talk
and
they
get
his
full
cooperation.
The
female
resident
gets
full
cooperation.
She
let
us
search
her
house
and
after
after
that,
we
were
able
to
determine
this
was
not
a
valid
complaint.
C
We
believe
the
Sheriff's
Office
has
gained
a
lot
of
respect
back
and
a
lot
of
trust
back
from
the
citizens
of
Lawrenceville,
since
they
realized
that
entering
big
ivy
country-
that's
that's
their
that's
their
area,
since
we
came
out
there
and
interacted
with
them
and
showed
some
enforcement
and
showed
some
concerns
of
their
concerns,
and
they
don't
feel
like
now
that
they've
just
been
left
and
forgotten
about
all
the
way
out.
Learners
feel
this
sometimes
they're
referred
to,
but
they
are
part
of
our
community.
C
C
Gave
a
lot
of
publicity
as
far
as
us
being
in
the
area.
They
were
a
lot
of
sheriff's
office
vehicles
in
there
even
electro
helicopter
and
numerous
members
of
the
Sheriff's
Office
were
out
looking
for
this
Juneau
and
the
juvenile
was
found,
found
safe
and
sample
and
I
guarantee.
Everybody
who
lives
in
the
community
saw
that
and
appreciates
us
being
out
there.
We
gained
a
lot
of
respect
the
trust
back
that
we
kind
of
felt
like
going
in
when
we
first
started
talking
to
these
people
and
I
live
that
Erica's,
not
here
it
to
that.
C
Sometimes
they
feel
forgotten
about
because
they
live
so
far
out
and
now
I,
don't
think
they
have
that
perception,
because
I've
had
several
people
come
up
to
tell
me
as
long
as
they
come
up
and
told
the
members
of
the
cops
team
that
hey.
We
appreciate
you
guys
being
out
here
in
our
neighborhood,
appreciates
your
help,
keep
down
good
job
and
we
feel
like
that.
We've
made
them
the
impact
for
a
positive
way
for
the
Sheriff's
Office
everybody
that's
employed
by
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
in
the
community.
We've.
D
Had
one
beak
add
agent
on
our
team
and
for
obvious
reasons
he
can't
be
up
here
to
give
his
presentation,
so
he
has
to
remain
anonymous.
So
I'm
gonna
give
his
presentation
for
cops
team
gathered
information
on
the
identities
of
suspected
methamphetamine
dealers.
We
conducted
numerous
knocking
talks
out
there.
We
did
a
number
of
stakeouts
we
developed
some
leads.
D
We
established
a
confidential
source
of
information
so
that
we
conduct
future
buys
out
there.
From
these
suspects
we
attempted
to
introduce
an
undercover
officer
to
a
meth
dealer.
We
utilize
the
Buncombe
County
anti-crime
task
force
for
surveillance.
We
worked
in
conjunction
with
the
Madison
County
Sheriff's
Office,
on
drug
problems
that
are
affecting
both
counties
and
as
a
result
of
that
be
cat
open
a
case
that
will
continue
as
an
ongoing
investigation
and
I
think
the
perception
might
be
that
be
cats.
Visibility
was
really
low
out
there.
D
They've
started
some
investigations
on
you
know,
they've,
initiated
them
and
they'll
continue
to
they'll
continue
with
those
investigations
and
impact
community
out
there.
A
long
time
after
we're
gone
most
of
our
arrests
and
citations
resulted
in
some
seizure
of
evidence
and
property.
A
total
of
nine
items
were
seized.
Eight
of
the
items
were
evidence
that
we're
gonna
continue
to
maintain
for
court.
Those
items
include
miscellaneous
paraphernalia.
D
D
D
This
one
was
a
little
less
than
I
think
is
about
five
grams,
I
meet
point
five
grams,
and
then
we
had
another
bag,
miscellaneous
paraphernalia,
similar
to
the
one
that
I
outlined
before
with
pipes
straws
papers,
the
usual
kind
of
stuff
that
we
get.
When
we
do
that.
The
last
item
we
took
was
a
duffel
bag.
We
took
that
for
safekeeping
at
the
owner's
request.
They
won't
take
stuff
like
that
at
the
jail.
D
Just
express
our
gratitude
for
everybody
that
assisted
the
cops
team,
cops
team.
Five
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
express
thanks
to
sheriff
Duncan
and
the
command
staff
for
affording
us
this
invaluable
opportunity.
We'd
also
like
to
thank
our
supervisors
for
granting
us
the
time
away
from
our
respective
units.
D
Thank
you
also
to
the
people
of
Barnesville
for
allowing
us
into
their
community
and
for
the
cooperation
and
support
we.
Finally,
thank
you
to
all
the
people
who
assisted
us
throughout
the
assignment
enabling
us
to
accomplish
our
goals.

the
communication
to

a
special
thanks
to
them,
because
I
mean
I,
think
we
inundated
them.
The
calls
and
I
think
we
may
have
gotten
on
their
nerves
at
times,
but
they
were
really
good
and
they
were
extremely
helpful.
Also
was
supplying
us
with
some
of
the
statistics
and
the
information
that
we
needed.

we're
kind
of
sad
that
it's
coming

an
end.
D
You

it's
been
one
heck
of
a
time,
so
thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
it
and
and
I
apologize.
If
I've
left
anybody
out,
it
was
inadvertent
we
didn't
mean
to,

there
was
a
lot
of
people
that
assisted
us
out
there,

if
we
left
your
names
off
again,
we
apologize
and
just
thank
you
to
everybody.
We
appreciate
it.
