Ending Prosecution for Profit
Founded in 1996, the Drug Task Force was a joint law enforcement unit run by the DA and police chief and based in the DA’s office. By 2014, the Drug Task Force’s budget required fines and civil forfeitures totaling 2 million dollars annually. In 2015, Glenn Funk and former MNPD Chief Steve Anderson closed the Drug Task Force and placed all narcotics investigations within the police department.
