Drug Task Force
The Cass County Drug Task Force investigates all significant narcotics cases in Logansport and Cass County. The DTF is comprised of members of the Logansport Police Department, Cass County Sheriff's Department, and the Indiana State Police. The DTF also works closely with the Cass County Prosecutor's Office and numerous surrounding county narcotics units. The DTF is a joint effort among many arms of the Criminal Justice System.
The DTF has been very successful in removing large quantities of illegal narcotics off of the streets of Logansport and Cass County. The "war on drugs" is one that citizens cannot afford to give up on. Persons who are addicted to illegal narcotics only further strain the Criminal Justice System by committing numerous types of other crimes. Lastly, social services are also affected by this increase in criminal behavior.
