The Special Operation is comprised of more physically fit officers designated to focus on Greenville’s higher crime areas. The mission of Special Operations is the suppression of drug trafficking, youth gangs and other criminal activities. Officers assigned to Special Operations perform their mission by developing intelligence regarding potential trouble spots and using discreet surveillance to suppress crime.

The primary objectives of the Greenville Police Department Drug Unit include investigating the illegal drug trade in two methods – Covert Operations and Overt Operations. Covert Operations consist of undercover work directly against those who traffic illegal drugs in and out of the City. This effort is usually involves long-term investigations that utilize special equipment and coordination with other drug enforcement agencies to produce conspiracy-related criminal cases against the network of an illegal drug dealing enterprise.

Overt Operations is a visible, comprehensive action that addresses the street corner drug dealing, suspected drug houses and the small and mid-level drug traffickers and drug abusers.
