The Narcotics Section’s mission is to enhance the quality of life in Inglewood through the reduction of narcotics activity which occurs in the community.  To reach this goal, Narcotics Detectives conduct investigations which may involve the use of undercover officers, covert surveillance tactics and other creative enforcement measures.

Major narcotics trafficking organizations which transport large quantities of narcotics into and out of Inglewood are targeted.  This photograph depicts the recent seizure of 123 kilograms of cocaine (271 lbs) from a vehicle in Inglewood with a street value of over 10 million dollars.

Street dealers are also a big concern to the citizens of Inglewood.  The Narcotics Section, in conjunction with other enforcement groups such as the Department’s Anti-Crime Team (ACT), are committed to identifying and apprehending criminals who are providing narcotics and other dangerous drugs to the community.
