Commission backs continued HIDTA funding for Northwest Montana Drug Task Force
Summary
The board voted to sign a support letter urging continued HIDTA grant funding for the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force, citing local benefits including two deputy positions funded by the county and regional investigative cooperation.
Lincoln County commissioners voted to sign a letter supporting continued HIDTA grant funding for the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force.
The support letter states the county directly benefits from the funding through two deputy positions and that the task force ‘‘provides critical enforcement and investigative resources to combat drug trafficking and related criminal activity.’’ The letter also praises the task force’s regional cooperation and asks grantors to consider continued support.
A commissioner moved to sign and approve the letter; the board approved the motion by voice vote with no public comment.
Next step: clerk’s office to finalize and send the letter to HIDTA grant administrators.
