HOUSE RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, The COMIT Drug Task Force marks its 10th
3 anniversary after more than 500 drug investigations; COMIT
4 originally began as the County Municipal Investigative Unit and
5 has evolved into one of the most successful drug task forces in
6 the region; and
 
7     WHEREAS, When the COMIT Drug Task Force came into existence
8 in Franklin County a decade ago, it was unknown how long it
9 would last; and
 
10     WHEREAS, COMIT has expanded to include communities in
11 Hamilton, Wayne, and Williamson counties and representatives
12 from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, the Drug
13 Enforcement Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and
14 the Director of State Police; and
 
15     WHEREAS, COMIT initially focused on marijuana and cocaine;
16 more recently, due to the rise of methamphetamine use in the
17 region, the task force has focused its efforts on combating
18 that drug; and
 
19     WHEREAS, Much of COMIT's labor is donated and much funding
20 comes from the sale of seized vehicles and property and fines
21 assessed by courts; and
 
22     WHEREAS, The work of the Task Force has resulted in at
23 least 320 convictions in federal and State courts; therefore,
24 be it
