South Plains Regional Task Force at Risk

Unless another agency steps up to lead the effort, the South Plains Regional Narcotics Task Force will no longer exist after Tuesday.

Last week nearly 50 law enforcement officers met in Levelland to develop a strategy to keep the task force going. The Lubbock Police Department decided to stop leading the force two weeks ago due to liability concerns.

Task force members are seeking an extension of the August 31st deadline.
