Interagency Task Force

Working to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations.

Our office has 2 Deputy District Attorneys assigned to work with the Clackamas County Interagency Task Force (CCITF), a unit of the Sheriff’s Office comprising local, state, and federal law enforcement officers from multiple agencies working in the Portland metro area to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations. These DDAs work with CCITF agents to address issues relating to search and seizure law, forfeiture and property, search warrants, and the ramifications of legislative and judicial decisions. They also prosecute the suspects investigated by CCITF agents (including prosecutions arising out of fatal overdose investigations). One of the two DDAs assigned to this Unit is cross-designated as a Special Assistant United States Attorney (SAUSA), able to bring cases arising in Clackamas County in either state or federal court.
