ABOUT US
F.A.Q.

The Essex Narcotics/Gang Task Force is responsible for the investigation of middle and upper level narcotics distribution cases and is hosted by the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.

Within the past decade, drug traffickers in Essex County have resorted more frequently to violence to further their criminal operations. Thus, the Essex Narcotics Task force was been merged with the Gang Intelligence Unit to become the Narcotics/Gang Task Force.

The combined unit targets the most violent offender zones; gathers intelligence of confiscated firearms; and conducts warrant roundups of wanted targets of gang violence, narcotics and firearm offenses in crime ridden areas.

The prosecutors of the Narcotics/Gang Task Force prosecute all cases initiated by Task Force detectives from the time cases begin until they are disposed. Narcotics/Gang Task Force prosecutors also review all narcotics and gang-related search warrants and provide legal advice to outside law enforcement agencies on the narcotics and gang issues.
