About the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force
Our Purpose
Crime is unrestrained by jurisdictional boundaries. The Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force was established to provide coordinated joint investigation of controlled substance crimes, gang activity and other felony-level criminal activity in northern Minnesota.
Our Team
Member agencies include the Sheriff Offices of Beltrami, Cass, Hubbard, Koochiching, Mahnomen and the Police Departments of Bemidji, Leech Lake Reservation, Park Rapids and White Earth Reservation. Typically, each agency appoints 1-2 law enforcement officers to the task force. These agents work closely with other task forces as well as state and federal partners to build investigations.
Our Initiative
A common theme. Individuals under the influence of drugs, looking for money to buy drugs, or negotiating with other criminals to buy or sell drugs have commonly become victims of serious assaults and homicide in our communities. Associated property crimes coupled with violence destabilize communities and threaten citizens right to feel safe. It is the primary goal of the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force to work closely with our communities to enforce narcotics laws to promote greater public safety.
