West Virginia law enforcement officials have formed a new team intended to stop the flow of illegal drugs into Harrison County.

The team will focus on patrolling highways, state routes, airports, bus terminals, hotels and motels, and parcel and package delivery. Its members will be drawn from both federal and state agencies, including the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District, the West Virginia State Police, the Clarksburg Police Department, and the Bridgeport Police Department.

In addition, the team will focus its efforts on stopping criminal organizations that operate within West Virginia. This includes not only vehicle inspection, but also investigating situations like kidnappings, Amber Alerts, interstate theft, bank robberies, detection and recovery of firearms, immigration violations and human trafficking, and apprehension of fugitives.
