Marietta-Cobb-Smyrna

Major V.B. Hester, Assistant Division Commander

The Marietta/Cobb/Smyrna (MCS) Narcotics & Intelligence Unit is a multi-jurisdictional task force formed in 1980 and commanded by a Major from the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, with a primary mission of drug interdiction within Cobb County. Initially, the unit was comprised of personnel from the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, Marietta Police Department, Cobb County Police Department, Smyrna Police Department and the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office to bring the necessary manpower and resources together in a cooperative effort to bring drug dealers before the criminal justice system.

In 2001, the Unit added personnel from the Acworth Police Department, Kennesaw Police Department and the Georgia National Guard. The agencies work together in a cumulative effort to stem the flow of illegal substances, organized crime and vice crimes within our community.
