PORT ANGELES — Cities and law enforcement jurisdictions across the North Olympic Peninsula have agreed to figure out how they might help maintain the Clallam’s drug task force.
The decision came after a three-hour meeting Thursday morning to discuss the future of the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team, which could lose its federal grant money without more participation from local agencies.
Local city managers, police chiefs, sheriffs and Clallam County Administrator Dan Engelbertson will meet next Friday to discuss how they can be equal players in the drug task force.
Participation in the task force has fluctuated since the team’s inception in 1985, depending on what resources jurisdictions in the county can afford to contribute.
