West Central Drug Task Force

The West Central Drug Task Force (WCDTF) is comprised of law enforcement representatives from six counties stretching from the Mississippi River to the middle of Wisconsin.  Membership includes the Sheriff's Offices of Clark, Chippewa, Eau Claire, Dunn, Buffalo and Pepin; the Municipalities of Chippewa Falls, Fall Creek, Eau Claire, Altoona, and Menomonie; and the State Agencies of the Wisconsin State Patrol, the Department of Criminal Investigation, and the Universities of Stout and Eau Claire. 

The task force has nine full-time and three part-time drug investigators and one part-time administrative specialist assigned from member agencies. The Eau Claire County Sheriff’s Office has served as project director since its inception in 1988. 

The WCDTF acts as a regional repository for drug-related criminal activity and as a coordinator of enforcement action. This action is coordinated within the task force by an oversight committee comprised of representatives from the membership. Day-to-day operations are supervised by a field operations supervisor and supervisors from the jurisdiction where an action occurs. Using its regional resources, the task force can direct equipment and personnel anywhere within the six-county area and sometimes outside the boundaries of the task force, when needed.
