The Orange County Pro-Active Methamphetamine Laboratory Investigation <br />Team (OCPMLIT) utilizes state and federal sources of illicit clandestine <br />laboratory intelligence sources to identify meth laboratory manufacturers <br />operating in the County of Orange. In addition, OCPMLIT actively pursues <br />the successful prosecution of those individuals arrested for the <br />manufacturing and distribution of methamphetamine. A primary objection of <br />this task force is to reduce the availability of methamphetamine in Orange <br />County. Under the proposed agreement, each member agency shall assume <br />responsibility for its participants and will indemnify the other agencies <br />for the sole liability of its participants. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact with this action. <br />~~ <br />Pau M.
