Law enforcement seeks skills to combat meth labs in North CarolinaHICKORY, North Carolina - More than 150 North Carolina law enforcement officers from across the state are gathering here this week to gain skills that can help them crack down on the rising number of methamphetamine labs in North Carolina.
So far this year, officials in the state have raided 173 meth labs, up from 98 in 2002. They raided 34 labs in 2001, said Van Shaw, assistant special agent in charge of the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.
Methamphetamine, or crystal meth, is a highly addictive stimulant that can be made with household chemicals.
The drug's production and abuse have become a growing problem for law enforcement - and society as a whole - in recent years.
"It's easier to manufacture now. You can make it on your stove with readily-available chemicals," said Shaw, coordinator of the SBI's Clandestine Laboratory Research Unit.
The primary goal of the federally funded conference, sponsored by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance, is to familiarize officers with the methods of investigating and dismantling the labs, and to promote North Carolina officer safety.
"Raiding a meth lab is like a SWAT team raid in a toxic waste dump," said Chief Agent Dr. John Duncan of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.
Duncan, one of the instructors of the three-day seminar, said a meth lab raid is "probably the most dangerous thing a law enforcement officer can do, shy of disarming a bomb."
In addition to facing possibly violent and armed offenders, the dangers of a raid include potential explosions, fires and exposure to poisonous gases that can cause serious immediate or long-term injuries, Duncan said.
The manufacturing process of the drug produces 5 pounds of hazardous waste per every pound of the drug made. Byproducts include hydrogen chloride gases, which are deadly if inhaled in substantial doses, North Carolina officials said.
The problem of meth also is an environmental concern, as the toxic waste materials are often disposed of in wooded or rural areas, or dumped into rivers and streams.
"It's like having a dirty bomb in your back yard," said Thomas Keith, district attorney for Forsyth County, North Carolina.
Shaw said one of the goals of the program is to give North Carolina officers the investigative training necessary to identify potential labs.
"We're being more aggressive, acting on every tip we get," said Watauga County, North Carolina Sheriff Mark Shook, whose county leads North Carolina in meth lab raids.
At least 74 North Carolina children this year have been found in homes with meth labs, and many of them have tested positive for exposure to the drug.
Shaw and state Attorney General Roy Cooper are pushing for tougher laws against people who operate methamphetamine labs, especially in households with children.
The pair last week lobbied the North Carolina Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission for the tougher penalties.
They also sought a separate felony child endangerment charge for making meth in the presence of minors.
Someone charged with manufacturing or selling the highly addictive drug could face between seven and 23 years in jail, depending on the amount of the drug. Most first-time offenders receive probation and often are arrested again for manufacturing meth, Shaw said.
Prosecutors can't apply North Carolina's child endangerment laws in meth cases because North Carolina laws don't address drug manufacturing, he said.
