South Central Area-wide Narcotics Team
Prior to 2005, this unit was part of the Western Alaska Alcohol and Narcotics Team (WAANT) and initially consisted of one AST investigator and one officer from the Soldotna Police Department. With the assignment of a new AST sergeant position in April of 2005, this unit now operates as a separate unit within ABADE, consiting of one AST Sergeant, one AST investigator, one Soldotna Police Department Officer, one Kenai Police Department Office and one AST Criminal Justice Technician. Communities within its area of responsibility are located on the Kenai Peninsula (Homer, Soldotna, Kenai, Seward), Kodiak Island as well as Girdwood and Whittier. The unit is dedicated to work closely with the local police departments in these communities and the uniformed patrol units of the Alaska State Troopers to educate and support their efforts in drug enforcement. The unit has also provided drug education to other agencies such as Juvenile Services and the Office of Children Services regarding drug endangered children as well as drug and methamphetamine clandestine lab identification.
This unit's enforcement duties range from the street level drug sales to investigation of large distribution organizations. This year the unit has had undercover operations in Seward, Homer, Kenai, Soldotna, Kasilof and Girdwood. Investigations vary from commercial marijuana grows, the manufacture of methamphetamine and the distribution of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs.
