The Christian County Sheriff’s Office and the Taylorville Police Department joined forces to carry out a large drug bust in late November, an operation that was made possible by recent fixes in jurisdiction for the Community Action Team. The CAT is comprised of officers from Taylorville, Assumption, Edinburg, Kincaid, Stonington, Morrisonville, and deputies from the CCSO.

Chief Deputy Jim Baker explains the process of allowing the CAT operations and the added safety this brings to the community.

Chief Deputy Baker explains that crimes often lead outside of a municipalities jurisdiction and the CAT can step in to aid their neighboring towns.

The Chief Deputy is pleased with the way the jurisdictional logistics have smoothed and looks forward to continued support and teamwork in operations to come.
