METRICH
The investigative group known today as the METRICH Enforcement Unit began in 1986 with a goal of reducing the availability of illegal drugs in Richland County. Early in 1986 the Prosecutor's Office and local law enforcement became concerned about the possibility of investigative duplication between the Mansfield Division of Police and the Richland County Sheriff's Office. It was learned that both agencies were planning to raid the same location. As a result of several meetings that followed, law enforcement leaders decided that it would be much more cost effective and safer for Richland County Law Enforcement Agencies to work together on drug related cases. Officers would meet daily, share information and available resources, and ultimately jointly conduct raids and arrests.
