    Study Notes

    Substance Recovery and Analysis Process

    • Original containers must be preserved when transferring substances for weighing.
    • Synthetic drugs like K-2 and bath salts will be sent to the Regional Criminalistics Division for analysis.
    • Liquid substances (except PCP) should not undergo field testing; they are sent for laboratory analysis.

    Field Testing Protocol

    • Field tests require an authorized department member; if the suspect is arrested for another reason, substances can be tested at another location.
    • Notify the DEU (Drug Enforcement Unit) for guidance if field testing is not possible.
    • Each narcotic discovered in multiple locations must be tested, recovered, and packaged separately.

    Minimum Quantity for Prosecution in Kansas City

    • Marijuana must be 35 grams or more.
    • Cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, ecstasy, heroin, PCP, GHB, and LSD can be prosecuted in any measurable amount.
    • Other substances require consultation with DEU for handling instructions.

    Positive Field Test Procedures

    • If a positive test occurs, complete a summons or obtain an Investigation Arrest Approval (Form 176 P.D.).
    • Contact the DEU detective for approval, using a Gang Squad detective for known gang affiliates.
    • Obtain a supervisor’s signature on Form 176 P.D.; if unavailable, seek approval from a Violent Crimes Division supervisor.

    Report Preparation and Submission

    • Complete applicable reports, including a laboratory analysis request if necessary.
    • Reports should include circumstances of the arrest, and details of responding personnel, along with approximate weights of the substance.
    • Marijuana weighing less than the minimum for prosecution doesn't need to be removed from its container; other substances should remain in their original packaging unless they meet the minimum weight requirement.

    Laboratory Analysis Requests

    • Analysis is determined by the city prosecutor for trial needs; continuance is requested to notify the officer and initiate analysis.
    • Use FA Property Connect for submission of analysis requests specifying court date and positive field test results.
    • Laboratory confirms results and generates reports sent to the submitting officer.

    Post-Laboratory Report Actions

    • Present lab reports confirming controlled substances at the next court appearance.
    • If additional controlled substances are present, contact DEU for potential state charges.
    • Prepare a "Progressive Investigation" report in the ARS system detailing laboratory results and any charge modifications.
    • If the lab report indicates no controlled substance, a supplemental report should be filed under "Progressive Investigation."
