COUNTY GETS $322,011 FOR DRUG INVESTIGATOR

The La Crosse County Board on Thursday approved accepting a $322,011
federal stimulus grant to hire a full-time drug investigator to work
in a five-county regional drug task force.

La Crosse County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Jeff Wolf said the
task force covers La Crosse, Jackson, Monroe, Vernon and Trempealeau
counties.

The grant will pay for the investigator to work for three years. The
program will sunset and the position end after that, he said. The
grant also includes funding for training and education relating to
prescription drug crimes.
