Fairbanks Area-wide Narcotics Team
The primary area of responsibility for the Fairbanks Area-wide Narcotics Team is interior Alaska, which includes Fairbanks and the surrounding area, north to Barrow, and east to the Canadian border. This team is made up of one AST Sergeant, two AST Investigators, a Fairbanks Police Department Investigator a North Pole Police Department Investigator, an AST Criminal Justice Technician and a National Guard Counter Drug Support Program Soldier. The Fairbanks team also works closely with one DEA agent, and one ATF agent assigned to the Fairbanks area. DEA and ATF compliment the teams' investigative ability by additional manpower, resources, and the possibility of federal prosecution of drug traffickers.
Their focus varies from the identification and investigation of street level dealers to the investigation of large distribution organizations. In spite of the drastic decrease in the number of methamphetamine laboratories found in the state, of significant concern in the Fairbanks area is the continuing abuse of methamphetamine. With the decrease in clandestine methamphetamine laboratories, there has been a significant increase in the importation of methamphetamine. Marijuana cultivation also continues to be a problem in the Fairbanks area.
