Narcotics Unit

The Narcotics Unit takes a proactive stance in the reduction of narcotics in the community. Currently, a sergeant and additional officers are assigned to work narcotics. The unit also periodically utilizes K9 officers to accomplish their mission. The Allen Police Department works closely with external agencies such as the US Postal Inspectors, FBI, DEA, ATF, IRS, US Customs Service and area police agencies.
