Methamphetamine Interdiction Report July 1 to September 30, 2006
Quarterly Summary Report In June 2006, Governor Napolitano signed House Bill 2554 which appropriated $3,000,000 from the state general fund in fiscal year 2007 to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) for distribution to each County Board of Supervisors for "...increased methamphetamine interdiction efforts including investigation, training, prosecution, abuse treatment, or education programs." By statute, each county that receives HB 2554 funds is required to submit quarterly reports to ACJC regarding the use and effectiveness of their award. The quarterly reporting forms provided to all counties requested information on the type of program(s) being developed and a description of the performance measures to be used to document the effectiveness of these funds. This report summarizes the first quarterly reports submitted by each County and fulfills the statutory obligation for ACJC to provide a quarterly summary of the reports to the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. These funds are to be distributed in quarterly allotments unless there is justification from the counties for lump sum distributions. Table 1 describes the distribution of HB 2554 funds by County.

Maricopa County is leading an effort to develop and implement statewide the Arizona Meth Project (AMP), which is based on the Montana Meth Project. In addition to Maricopa County's HB 2554 funding, they have committed $2.5 million in general revenue funds to support the project. At this time, one additional county (Gila) has formally committed to using their HB2554 funds to support the AMP, and five others (Cochise, Greenlee, Graham, Mohave, and Pinal) are considering participation. Pima County is exploring several potential initiatives supported with HB 2554 funds through presentations to the Pima County Justice Coordinating Council, including the AMP. Yavapai County reported exploring several different initiatives that might be supported with HB 2554 funds. They are utilizing the Yavapai County Methamphetamine Advisory Task Force, which was created in 2005, to assist in their planning for the use of HB2554 funds. Santa Cruz County has begun a process for using HB2554 funds to implement an integrated Meth/Substance Abuse program in their county that builds on existing initiatives. Five counties (Apache, Coconino, La Paz, Navajo, and Yuma) did not complete and submit quarterly reports. These counties have been contacted about the reporting requirements.

combination of media messaging and community action is intended to increase the level and intensity of public discussion, and parent/child awareness and communication about the meth problem. Maricopa County is designing the AMP to be a state-wide initiative and will be entering into intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) with the other Arizona counties who choose to participate. At the time the quarterly report was submitted to ACJC, IGAs were in the process of being executed with Cochise, Gila, Greenlee, Graham, Mohave, and Pinal counties. For those counties that utilize HB2554 funds for AMP, Maricopa County is assuming responsibility for reporting their program activity. Most, but not all, participating counties are expected to utilize HB 2554 funding for this project. An AMP Advisory Board, whose membership includes representatives from participating counties with knowledge of the issues related to methamphetamine use including prevention, treatment, addiction, law enforcement, policy development, and education, will be established to provide project oversight. To measure the impact of AMP on its target population, baseline surveying will occur prior to the launch of the initiative. The intent of the AMP is to conduct a school-based survey of 7th 12th graders and conduct a telephone survey of young adults and parents. The following developmental activities occurred during the first quarter: An affiliation agreement between Maricopa County and The Meth Project is being negotiated to license use by the AMP of anti-meth media messages produced for the Montana Meth Project. Formal relationships with participating Arizona counties are being established. Procurement process for acquiring a media buyer/producer is underway. Survey/evaluation methodology for the AMP is being finalized and contracting is being developed for evaluation implementation. An AMP Advisory Board is being established.
