The Interdiction and Covert Enforcement Unit (ICE) consists of a unit supervisor, a civilian criminal intelligence analyst and detectives from local law enforcement agencies. The unit analyzes criminal intelligence information, citizen tips, drug arrests and assistance provided to and by other law enforcement agencies when initiating an investigation. Due to the covert nature of drug and organized crime investigations, information and updates about cases are available only to law enforcement. We coordinate investigations with other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to ensure that investigative efforts do not conflict. This collaboration also enhances officer safety.
The Mission of the ICE Unit is to develop, maintain and disseminate intelligence information pertaining to the manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs, gang activity, organized criminal enterprises and potential terrorist threats in Elkhart County, Indiana. The ICE Unit is the basic element in the proactive response to threats of this nature in Elkhart County. Intelligence information will be analyzed and disseminated to other agencies as it relates to ongoing investigations within their respective jurisdictions. The establishment of the ICE Unit represents a full-scale commitment by the Elkhart County Prosecutor's Office to providing support and assistance to all law enforcement agencies.
