AUTHORITY TO DECLARE INTENSIFIED DRUG ENFORCEMENT JURISDICTIONS; EXPENDITURE OF
FUNDS (§ 15.2-1715)

Whenever, in the judgment of the Governor or his designee, a locality or
multi-jurisdictional area is confronted with a drug trafficking problem of such
a magnitude as to warrant additional resources to supplement the efforts of
local officials responsible for the apprehension and prosecution of persons
engaged in drug trafficking activities, he may declare such areas Intensified
Drug Enforcement Jurisdictions. Upon such declaration, the Governor, or his
designee, may make available funds from the Intensified Drug Enforcement
Jurisdictions Fund provided for in § 9.1-105.
