HONOLULU (AP) _ The federal Justice Department has approved nearly one-point-five (m) million dollars to support anti-drug programs on Kauai.
Senator Daniel Inouye says the money will be used for a number of things to combat drugs, crystal methamphetamine in particular.
The Kauai Police Department will support an Ice Task Force to target crystal meth users and dealers at all levels. The county Prosecuting Attorney's office will add a deputy prosecutor to its staff to focus on prosecuting drug dealers. And the money will also support drug prevention activities across the island.
Inouye also says Mayor Bryan Baptiste's office is organizing an annual drug summit to discuss the county's progress and update the community response plan.
Inouye says announcements on additional funds for Neighbor Island counties are forthcoming.
