South East Multi-County Agency Narcotics Task Force (North Dakota)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The South East Multi-County Agency Narcotics Task Force (SEMCA) is a multi-jurisdictional agency that provides policing services to Richland, Ransom and Sargent Counties in North Dakota and Wilkin County in Minnesota. The group does not maintain a web site and public documentation is scarce. Known members include:

  • North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigations
  • Ransom County Sheriff's Office
  • Richland County Sheriff's Office
  • Sargent County Sheriff Office (sic.)
  • Breckenridge Police Department (Minnesota)
  • Lisbon Police Department (North Dakota)
  • Wahpeton Police Department (North Dakota) [1]

The agency seems to handle about 150 cases a year.[2]

SEMCA was implicated in the death of Andrew Sadek and sued by Sadek's parents in 2016.[3]
