Interagency Task Force

The Clackamas County Interagency Task Force (CCITF) works to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations in the Portland metro area. CCITF is a multi-agency unit made up of local, state, and federal law enforcement officers. 

The District Attorney’s Office assigns two Deputy District Attorneys (DDAs) to work closely with CCITF. Their responsibilities include: 

• Advising on search and seizure law, forfeiture, property, and search warrants
• Interpreting legislative and judicial decisions
• Prosecuting suspects investigated by CCITF, including cases related to fatal overdoses 

One DDA is also designated as a Special Assistant United States Attorney (SAUSA), allowing prosecution of Clackamas County cases in either state or federal court. 

This partnership strengthens the county’s ability to target organized drug crime while ensuring compliance with legal standards.
