National Virtual Pointer System
The Narcotics and Vice Unit is a participating agency of the National Virtual Pointer System (NVPS). The National Virtual Pointer System is a fully automated pointer information system that provides participating state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies the capability to determine if a current drug investigative suspect is under active investigation by any other participating agency. All active cases assigned a case number are entered into this system.
