The Lincoln City Police Department is excited to announce that a full-time, dedicated, narcotics detective has been assigned to the department’s Investigations Division.
This detective position will be dedicated to investigations that identify, disrupt and dismantle local, state, and multi-state drug trafficking individuals and organizations, using an intelligence-driven and multi-agency-support approach. Although the Lincoln City Police actively and successfully work narcotics investigations at a patrol level, the addition of a dedicated narcotics detective will allow the department to bring a “next level” approach to these investigations by dedicating more time and resources to the apprehension of individuals trafficking illicit narcotics within our community.
LCPD expects to the have the newly assigned detective in place within the next few weeks, when the detective will begin receiving updated training, as well as begin working with other area drug task force groups in order to gain fresh intelligence on recent drug trafficking trends affecting the Lincoln City community.
The newly assigned detective will also be a participating member of the Lincoln County Major Crime Team and will assist with major crimes investigations when needed.
