In an attempt to reinvigorate the Kosciusko County Special Operations Team, Sheriff Aaron Rovenstine is promoting a program in which names, addresses and vehicle descriptions of people suspected of drug activity can be turned over to police.The information can be given anonymously, but those who do reveal their identity to authorities can have the security of confidentiality. "The public knows we've had some problems the last couple years," Rovenstine said of the drug task force.The unit was temporarily disbanded a couple years ago and is now back at full force, although Rovenstine would like to see additional manpower in the future.
