The Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team has announced a new board chair.

A DINT release said the board has selected Douglas County Commissioner Tim Freeman to lead their board.

DINT is a long-standing interagency narcotics task force serving Douglas County and is comprised of representatives from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, Roseburg Police Department, Oregon National Guard, Oregon State Police and the Bureau of Land Management.

Established in 1989, DINT has remained operational since its inception, continuing its mission through a collaborative approach that combines personnel, expertise, and resources from multiple partner agencies. The participating agencies continue to play a critical role in supporting DINT’s efforts throughout Douglas County.

In addition to agency support, DINT receives funding assistance from the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, and the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission.

The DINT Advisory Board is comprised of Sheriff John Hanlin, Commissioner Tim Freeman, District Attorney Rick Wesenberg, Roseburg Police Captain Jeremy Sanders, and Oregon State Police Roseburg Area Command Lieutenant Jim Andrews.

Commissioner Freeman takes over as chair, following Captain Sanders, who served in that role for the past year.
