Meth Action Team


In September of 2001, various Federal, State, and local officials and agencies formed the Thurston County Methamphetamine Coalition to share resources and focus efforts to eradicate the menace of meth. Over the past eight years, the Coalition has made great strides to make our community a safer home.

In 2008, the Meth Coalition became the Meth Action Team. The focus of the Meth Action Team is to provide a collaborative response to the use of meth. While the local manufacturing of meth has decreased, the use of meth has certainly not followed a similar downward trend. Therefore please help us to educate the community about the devastating effects of meth and how they can get treatment help.

Currently the Meth Action Team includes representatives from the following agencies:

  • Behavioral Health Resources Recovery Services

  • Chehalis Tribe

  • Crisis Clinic

  • Lacey Police Department

  • National Association of Chain Drug Stores

  • Office of Lieutenant Governor

  • Olympia Police Department

  • Providence St. Peter Chemical Dependency Center

  • Safeway

  • Skokomish Indian Tribe

  • Third District Congressman Brian Baird’s Office

  • Thurston County Commissioners

  • Thurston County Juvenile and Family Court

  • Thurston County Narcotics Task Force

  • Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office

  • Thurston County Public Health and Social Services

  • Thurston County Public School Districts

  • Thurston County Sheriff’s Office

  • Thurston County Superior Court

  • TOGETHER!

  • Tumwater Police Department

  • Washington Retail Association

  • Washington State Child Protective Services

  • Washington State Community, Trade, and Economic Development

  • Washington State Department of Corrections

  • Washington State Department of Ecology

  • Washington State Department of Health

  • Washington State Division of Child Protective Services

  • Washington State Liquor Control Board

  • Washington State Patrol

Some of the accomplishments that have occurred over the last eight years include:

  • Meth lab production has decreased significantly

  • Treatment for meth addicts has increased

  • Jail sentencing for parents with children in meth labs has increased

  • Legislation has increased making it more difficult to acquire materials to manufacture meth, thus decreasing local labs.
