RICHMOND – Virginia Department of Corrections Director Ron Angelone today announced a successful Operation Consequences XXIII, an unannounced substance abuse testing effort of targeted parolees and probationers in the Counties of Appomattox, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Prince Edward and the Town of Farmville. The first operation was conducted in December, 1996 in the City of Richmond.
“We are committed to the reduction of substance abuse related crime and, especially, associated violence,” said Director Angelone. “Our Probation and Parole Officers in partnership with law enforcement agencies are determined to make our communities safer. This is a comprehensive, multi-agency approach to coordinate substance abuse treatment with criminal justice sanctions.”
Adult Probation and Parole Services staff in the Farmville District 24 Office actively demonstrated support of the Department’s position by launching the twenty-third mass testing in the state. The testing was conducted at the District Office. This effort was in close coordination with the Farmville Police, the Piedmont Regional Jail, all the county sheriffs’ offices, the Department of State Police and other Department of Corrections’ staff including the Inspector General’s Office, the Buckingham Correctional Center, and Nottoway Correctional Center canine officers.
The sixty-seven (67) targeted offenders possessed a history of substance abuse, or are suspected of substance abuse. Thirteen (13) tested positive and were arrested. Five (5) offenders failed to show and will be actively sought. Cocaine and marijuana were the substances most often detected. There were no serious incidents.
