Since 1991, the Tactical Narcotic Team has enhanced this positive aspect by operating in very dangerous and high crime areas and making those areas safer for the general public. This is a quality of life on-going enforcement operation. Information is shared with the directors of the respective housing authorities to ensure that those citizens living in these facilities can do so in a safe and secure environment.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office Narcotic Strike Force is further served by an assistant prosecutor, two paralegals and three secretaries who work to prepare cases to ensure effective and successful prosecution of offenders. The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office Narcotic Strike Force has also played, and continues to play, an important role in public education throughout the county and in the training of officers from local departments in Monmouth County and throughout the State. Officers from the Strike Force regularly participate and lead enforcement courses such as the Top Gun program sponsored by the State Attorney General's Office.
