Narcotics and Burglary Section

(N.A.B.) 

 

“NAB Recognized for Fight Against Burglaries”

Law enforcement officers will tell you most property crimes are in some way related to

DRUGS. That direct connection is why the Sheriff’s Office formed the Narcotics and

Burglary Section (N.A.B.) in 2007. This team’s focused efforts have been a major factor

in the decrease in burglaries throughout the county (see graphs) .The N.A.B. Section consists of a sergeant and three

investigators who work very closely with the Appalachian Drug Task Force to target

persons or locations of concern. We appreciate the dedication and commitment of these

officers who spend many long hours away from their families helping to make our

community a safer place to live.

Below are some photographs of the three investigators and some of the hard work they

do. Not shown in the photographs are Sergeant Mitchell Salain and ADTF Agent Curt

Donaldson.
