and talent. The unit uses state of the art equipment to conduct
surveillance and undercover operations.

state, and local officers. These task forces target and investigate the
larger and more highly organized narcotic dealers.
The most common types of drugs seized in Richland County include
marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin. Other less common drugs
include but are not limited to, methamphetimine, LSD, and the so called
date rape drugs GHB, ketamine, and Rohypnol.
