A special thank you goes out to Chief Walt Vanatta of the Craig Police Dept. for standing up publicly on behalf of the All Crimes Enforcement Team.
Walt Vanatta, Craig Police Department chief, about the importance of the All Crimes Enforcement Team:
“I don’t see how individually any of us could accomplish what the task force can. … A multi-agency task force breaks down jurisdictional boundaries. Officers are free to work wherever the investigation takes them, and if necessary, get additional support from those (partnering) agencies.”

SandBox Comments: Craig Daily Press "ACET commander presents 2011 report"
Thank you to the Moffat and Routt County All Crimes Enforcement Team for an outstanding record in 2011.
Joe Moylan:
"“We’ve had a lot of convictions on the other cases and there are investigations from 2011 that are either ongoing or are still in the judicial process,” Cameron said. “However, we have a 100-percent conviction rate for investigations conducted during my first two years with ACET.”
In total, ACET officers seized 372.12 grams of cocaine; 2.8 grams of methamphetamine; and three grams of marijuana with a total estimated street value of $42,807.68.
Although the amount of drugs seized and the estimated street value fluctuates each year depending on where an investigation leads, Cameron said the results from 2011 were on par with 2010.
Additionally, Cameron said the amount of seized drugs can be skewed because officers don’t necessarily need a seizure in order for an investigation to end with a conviction.
“Officers build investigations based on buys, but search warrants aren’t always executed,” Cameron said. “For example, Steckel pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute meth during the course of the investigation, so no drugs were actually seized during that particular investigation.”
Of the 29 narcotics investigations, four were for the distribution or possession of cocaine; 13 for the possession or distribution of methamphetamine; three for the distribution of marijuana; two psilocybin investigations — one mushroom grow operation and one for possession; six prescription frauds; and one criminal impersonation investigation.
ACET includes an officer each from the Craig Police Department, Moffat County Sheriff’s Office, Steamboat Springs Police Department and Routt County Sheriff’s Office...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Craig Daily Press "DEA: Dispose of bath salts"
(See related stories and comments here and here)
SandBox Nanny is going to also toss up a poll that's running up and over on the Craig Daily Press. Here's the link.
She calls upon the Craig Daily staff to broaden out how they poll the topic. She suspects that the high number of 'No' responses is because the folks responding want more, rather than less, from the Feds, regional and local agencies.
An overwhelming amount of support has been rolling in for months. Pretty much since the major bust in Aspen a few months ago.
People want immigration sweeps that find illegals.
They say they want gang activity down to zero tolerance policies by our cops.
They call for strength in the clean-up on drugs.
What would the Craig Daily Press poll numbers look like if the 'No' votes combined with the 'Yes' votes?
Food for thought.
Thank you to the Yampa Valley All Crimes Enforcement Team and the DEA for continuing to bring the awareness of this masked and very deadly new drug.
