Cal-MMET California Multi-Jurisdictional Methamphetamine Enforcement Team

Cal-MMET Program:

The Governor's Budget for Fiscal Year 2001-2002 has identified $60 million dollars to be granted to Central and Northern California Sheriff's as a commitment to new enforcement activity directed to disrupt and dismantle methamphetamine drug trafficking organizations. This effort is in coordination and conjunction with the Federal Goverments High Intensity Drug Trafficking Programs (HITDA) located in the Central Valley and Northern California. The Cal-MMET program is administered by the Governor's Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP). The Cal-MMET program is constructed as a regional approach, with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department additionally having a Headquarters function in coordinating this statewide effort. While enforcement activity is the predominant focus of the program, community education as to methamphetamine use is a bilateral goal of the program.

Goals:

• Reduction in Methamphetamine production and distribution.
• Reduction in availability of Methamphetamine product on the street
• Reduction in Methamphetamine related criminal offenses
• Reduction of hazardous waste sites associated with the chemical manufacture of Methamphetamine.
• Reduction in physical property damage associated with chemical manufacture of Methamphetamine.
• Reduction in medical responses associated with Methamphetamine abuse.
• A heightened awareness in schools as to the affects of Methamphetamine use achieved through education.
