Deschutes County Illegal Marijuana Market Enforcement

DCIMME is the collaborative between the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office and the Bend Police Department to address illegal cannabis in our community.

The agencies received grant funding from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) to support enhanced enforcement and prosecution efforts.

This grant also provided funding for research and an education/outreach component to do the following:

  • Study the issue of illegal cannabis in more depth
  • Educate Deschutes County residents and visitors on cannabis laws and regulations
  • Increase leads on serious illegal cannabis activity
  • Monitor the impact of illegal cannabis on our environment

Illegal Marijuana Market Enforcement Grant

In 2018, the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 1544, which provides financial support to rural counties to assist them in addressing the illegal cannabis market in their communities.

Oregon Criminal Justice Commission administers these grant funds through the Illegal Marijuana Market Enforcement grant.

This project was supported by Award No. IME-19-01 awarded by the Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance through the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission.
