The Task Force will explain techniques that organizations can use to identify employees with substance abuse problems, as well as the latest drugs and drug paraphernalia that is being seen locally.

SEINT is comprised of three law enforcement entities in Des Moines County Iowa. There are a total of three detectives and one commander to oversee the day-to-day activities. The SEINT detectives have all been trained by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Basic Narcotic Investigators School, as well as certified in Clandestine Laboratory Investigations. The three detectives have a total of over 20 years in law enforcement experience and have attended multiple interdiction and interview training programs that allow them to effectively take down larger drug organizations.
