Narcotics Unit

The Narcotics Unit consists of a number of specialized units.

The MNVP (Major Narcotic Vendor Prosecution) Unit consists of two attorneys, one north and one south, who handle all high-level narcotics sales, possession for sale and manufacturing cases. The MNVP prosecutor works closely with law enforcement for MNVP unit prosecution. The MNVP prosecutor directly reviews search and arrest warrants, and discusses search / case issues in advance.

As a vertical prosecution unit, it endeavors to keep major dealers in custody pending the conclusion of the case and seeks maximum penalties for these drug sellers.
