The Sawyer County/ Lac Courte Oreilles Drug Endangered Program (DEC) is a collaborative group working through the Sawyer County/LCO Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Team. Formed in 2013 and 2014, local agencies involved are: LCO Indian Child Welfare, LCO PD, LCO Health Center, LCO Legal Department, Sawyer County Health and Human Services, Sawyer County Sheriff's Office, Sawyer County District Attorney, and City of Hayward Police Department. The DEC protocols have been finalized, approved by with Wisconsin Department of Justice and the LCO Tribal Governing Board and are currently being circulated to agency directors for signatures.
The DEC program and protocols will increase information sharing between agencies and over all improve investigations where drug-endangered are involved. Coordination and training for this program has been made possible by the Wisconsin Department of Justice and the Children's Justice Act grant funding through LCO.
