of $250,000 in continued funding for the Polk County Methamphetamine 
Project. This critical program has received previous federal funding to 
carry out methamphetamine prevention and mitigation programs that have 
shown positive results in cracking down on the growth of 
methamphetamine production and distribution in Central Florida. This 
funding will cover equipment, and training, thus enabling the Polk 
County Sheriffs Office (PCSO) to make a dedicated effort to combat the 
distribution and use of methamphetamine in Polk County, Florida. From 
2003 through 2007, the PCSO made 3,481 methamphetamine related arrests, 
seized over 150,000 grams of methamphetamine, and eliminated 27 
methamphetamine labs.
