The primary objectives of the Special Investigations Unit include investigating the
illegal drug trade in two methods - Covert Operations and Overt
Operations. Covert Operations is undercover work against those who
traffic illegal drugs in and out of the City. This effort is usually
involves long-term investigations that utilize special equipment and
coordination with other drug enforcement agencies to produce
criminal cases against the network of an illegal drug dealing. Overt
Operations is visible comprehensive action that addresses the street
corner drug dealing, suspected drug houses and the small and
mid-level drug traffickers and drug abusers.
