The Carpentersville Police Department has joined a federal task force that will provide more resources in its ongoing battle against illegal drugs and gang activity, Police Chief Todd Shaver said.
A Special Operations Group detective from the department has been assigned to Homeland Security Investigation, the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to investigate those types of cases, Shaver said. The officer will be part of the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Gangs and Violent Crimes Task Force, he said.
Initially the detective was added to the task force on a part-time basis but has since been moved to full-time status because the partnership has been working so well, he said. “I see what the officer is doing, and I’m very impressed with the partnership so far,” Shaver said. “Obviously, I can’t get into a whole lot of details ,” but the work being done “is going to be a huge benefit for the community.” This is not the department’s first effort at joining forces with a federal agency.
