WHEREAS, the detection and apprehension of individuals
operating in the field of using, producing, processing and

because the range of operations of the criminal offender is
greater than the jurisdiction of the peace officers called upon
to investigate the crime; and,
WHEREAS, individuals engaged in using, producing, processing
and transporting illegal controlled substances often commit
criminal offenses in numerous counties and cities during a brief
period of time in a continuing scheme of criminal conduct; and,
WHEREAS, individuals engaged in using, producing, processing
and transporting illegal controlled substances are often involved
in other criminal activity; and,
WHEREAS, the North East Texas area is so structured that the
efforts of a single law enforcement agency are often inadequate
to detect and apprehend individuals committing criminal acts in
numerous counties and cities; and,
WHEREAS, past experience in the North East Texas area has
indicated that a cooperative effort between cities and counties
in the area has been effective in detecting and deterring the
activities of individuals engaged in illegal activities to the
mutual benefit of all the cities and counties in the North East
Texas area; and,
WHEREAS, the Texas Legislature has enacted V.T.C.A. Local
Government Code Sec. 362.002 to encourage the formation of mutual
aid law enforcement task forces to cooperate in the investigation
of criminal activity and enforcement of the laws of this state;
