Agency shifts focus
of anti-drug efforts
to long-term probes
HOUSTON (AP) — The poor re
sults of a highly touted anti-drug ef
fort on the waters off the Texas Gulf
Coast has prompted U.S. Customs
Service officials to order changes in
the agency’s narcotics operations,
the Houston Post reported Sunday.
The new policies will shift the
Customs Service’s emphasis away
from catching drug boats on the run
and toward longer-term investiga
tions, according to the copyright
story.
The agency’s problems include a
glitzy, well-publicized radar opera
tion that employees say has pro
duced only one drug bust, a fleet of
platform and cigarette boats that
have made few major seizures and a
35 percent drop in drug busts at
Houston-area seaports.
The overhaul in area operations
relates to the agency’s inability to
find drugs in small boats and large
commercial ships, despite the sizable
efforts, the Post reported.
In fiscal 1988, the Customs Serv
ice’s marine enforcement program
in the Southwest netted only 429
pounds of cocaine, records show.
Internal customs statistics ob
tained by the Post show that drug
seizures by customs inspectors in the
Houston area fell by 35 percent be
tween 1986 and 1988, from 116 to
76.
In that same time, the price of co
caine in Houston has dropped to
$15,000 from $25,000 per kilo, an
indicator that supply has increased.
Customs officials are still betting
they can prove successful by em
phasizing smaller boats and inten
sive searches of cargo brought by
foreign vessels. The agency has
beefed up its contraband enforce
ment team at area seaports.
Customs employees and supervi
sors, most of whom spoke to newspa
per on the basis of anonymity,
painted a picture of an agency ham
pered by poor planning and plagued
by low morale.
They pointed to the marine radar
room, a central facet of “Operation
Blue Fire,” which was introduced
with great fanfare in 1987.
Customs sources told the Post that
employees of the high-tech radar
room were not trained for the task
and that the operation was useless,
producing only one bust since 1987.
Agency officials acknowledge the
radar room’s shortcomings, but say
its purpose was never as broad as
employees believe. They also say it
will prove useful in providing intelli
gence data in the future.
Convinced in 1986 that drug
smugglers in Mexico were being
choked off the Florida coast by law
enforement efforts there and would
soon direct their vessels to the Texas
area, the Customs Service built its
marine effort virtually from scratch.
Three $1 million radar platform
boats, three cigarette-style boats and
five utility boats came on line be
tween July 1986 and October 1987.
Customs increased its non-air opera
tions staff 34 percent, though that
figure includes more than the ma
rine patrol.
The nerve-center was a $5 million
communications center in Houston.
It was composed of two rooms: the
marine radar room — which re
ceived signals from seven newly con
structed radar transmitters along the
Gulf Coast — and a vast communica
tions room known as Sector.
“We’ve come to the realization,
based on an exhaustive 1988 study,
that we had to do things a lot
smarter, that we couldn’t just have
boats plowing holes in the water on
patrol and expect to uncover narcot
ics smuggling by pleasure vessels,”
said William Rosenblatt, assistant
commissioner of customs for the en
forcement division.
Crimestoppers seeks
clues in ATM robberies
Two black males committed three
robberies in Bryan-College Station
during the week of Feb. 19.
Two of the robberies took place at
Automatic Teller Machines when
the suspects threatened customers
with handguns, forced their way into
the cars and demanded that the cus
tomers withdraw cash from the ma
chines.
Witnesses describe the suspects as
black males, approximately 20-23
years old, approximately six feet tall,
thin builds, wearing dark clothing
and dark ski masks.
Officials suggest ATM customers
choose well-lighted areas, keep car
doors locked, check the area before
approaching and leave the area if
something seems suspicious.
If you have any information re
garding these robberies, please con-_
STOPPER
