Narcotics unit

The department's narcotics unit was disbanded in 2007 after two officers were arrested and two others implicated in a corruption sting.[3]. The unit was replaced by a VICE/Narcotics unit in 2009, and that unit played a crucial role in the investigation of the murder of college student Annie Le.[3][4]
