The Major Narcotics Unit is staffed by six experienced trial lawyers, two secretaries and two criminal investigators. The unit prosecutes the county's largest drug cases, including clandestine methamphetamine labs, transportation, sales, and possession for sale of all types of controlled substances. Lawyers in this unit work closely with investigating narcotics officers to ensure compliance with search and seizure and other legal requirements. The unit provides a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week on-call service to narcotics enforcement agencies for legal advice and search warrant review. One of the lawyers and one of the investigators are specifically assigned to handle all narcotics asset forfeiture cases to deprive drug dealers of their ill-gotten gain. At least one of the lawyers assigned to this unit also functions as a special assistant United States Attorney to prosecute selected drug cases in federal court. The Major Narcotics Unit can be reached at (916) 874-6189, fax (916) 874-8404.
