The Stanislaus County Methamphetamine Task Force is a multidisciplinary, community-based group focused on the problems associated with Methamphetamine use in our community. Started in January 2008 out of a prevention planning process, the MTF's purpose is to achieve real community-based and community-invested change over time through the use of data, alignment of social and law enforcement programming, and leveraging of existing and future efforts!
