The Alaska Environmental Crimes Taskforce is controlled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who refused to publicly explain why it was necessary to use armed agents in the investigation of water conditions. But in a conference call last week with the Alaska Congressional delegation, the EPA reportedly said the display of force was in response to a tip from Alaska State Troopers that "rampant drug and human trafficking going on in the area."

"The Alaska State Troopers did not advise the EPA that there was dangerous drug activity. We do not have evidence to suggest that is occurring," said Trooper spokesperson, Megan Peters.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set." BO 2008
EVERY agency needs a heavy weapons unit.
"The Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force recently dispatched eight armed agents wearing body armor to check for dirty water in the rural gold mining town of Chicken, Alaska." YOU have got to be kidding.
