A press conference was held today to formally announce the creation of the North Texas Sheriffs’ Criminal Interdiction Unit

In December 2017, Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner, Grayson County

Sheriff Tom Watt, Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks, Parker County

Sheriff Larry Fowler, Rockwall County Sheriff Harold Eavenson, Tarrant

County Sheriff Bill Waybourn and Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin came

together to formulate a plan to help stem the flow of illegal narcotics

and human trafficking victims being transported across the open

highways and Interstates of North Texas. Concerned about human

trafficking and the opioid epidemic that is afflicting the Nation, these

Sheriffs agreed to combine their resources and create the North Texas

Criminal Interdiction Unit (NTXCIU): a team of specially trained deputy

sheriffs whose mission it is to interdict dangerous drugs, narcotics,

contraband and human cargo on established smuggling corridors

across North Texas. This seven-agency initiative is the first of its kind in

Texas and the United States. An integral part of this initiative is the

cooperating Sheriff’s agreement that any of the deputies assigned to

this unit have jurisdictional authority to operate and make arrests

within any of the participating counties.

The unit became operational on December 18, 2017, and the results of

their efforts to date have been nothing short of incredible! In the first

quarter of operations, this unit has seized $60,000.00 of hidden U.S.

currency, 1,479 lbs. of marijuana, 5 lbs. of cocaine, 61 lbs. of

methamphetamine, 9 lbs. of heroin, ½ lb. of fentanyl, 13 lbs. of THC

products (edibles), 8 stolen motor vehicles, 4 automatic weapons, and

made 57 arrests, including two fugitives wanted for capital murder in

Los Angeles, CA and Little Rock, AR, respectively. The deputies

arresting the murder fugitive from Los Angeles, recovered a missing

female child. Additionally, on another unrelated traffic stop, NTXCIU

deputies rescued a missing child from Austin, Texas.
