| Barrack Information: |
Quick action on the part of a trooper enabled him to catch a suspect committing a
second armed robbery; the suspect was apprehended and charged with two counts of
robbery. Several vehicles stopped for traffic violations turned into cases of drug arrests;
in one case a juvenile was found with ¼ ounce of cocaine and more than $6,400 cash,
another case recovered more than a pound of marijuana, and a third found a variety of
CDS in quantities to permit prosecution with intent to distribute. There have been 887
warrant arrests, an increase of approximately 21% over 2005. The barrack’s Youth
Intervention Program continues to broaden the job functions of troopers assigned to the
DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. The troopers also worked as
school resource officers in the seven high schools and nine middle schools to provide a
visible deterrence to crime. DARE reached approximately 1,400 middle school students. The Criminal Investigation Section successfully concluded a bomb threat case with an interstate connection. A local suspect was arrested, and her brother was returned from Oklahoma to face prosecution. In another case, over 20 residential burglaries in several counties were cleared with eight arrests. Thousands of dollars of stolen property was recovered and returned to victims. A search and seizure warrant led to a stolen motorcycle, stolen farm equipment, environmental crimes, and the discovery of animals kept in appalling conditions. Other State, federal, and county units assisted in this case, which received much media coverage. As the primary law enforcement agency in the county, the barrack has the responsibility of overseeing the 128 sex offenders in the county. Over two nights in August, offenders were checked for compliance with the registration requirements. |

At that time you must present a valid, government-issued, photo identification and a check or money order for $5.00 for each fingerprint card required (usually two are required). You will then have your fingerprints taken and those fingerprints will be checked against state and local databases. You will receive a response to our inquiry within a few weeks. | |
