This was the Narc Unit in July, 1988 following the seizure of 500 lbs. of marijuana from a motorhome
in Boulder. The case eventually led to the indictment of 56 defendants and the forfeiture in millions of dollars
in assets. The seized assets were used to fund a variety of PD programs including the Tuition Reimbursement Program and
other training related items. The photo was taken in the elevator of the CJC. The bales of marijuana
were taken upstairs from the parking garage in small loads.

This was SWAT in around 1991.

This was the seizure of 738 lbs. of cocaine by DEA and the BPD Narcs in May, 1988. Still the largest cocaine seizure in
Colorado history. Street value at the time (based on sales of kilo amounts) was over $ 10 million.
