The Santa Barbara Independent, 30 Sep 2010 – Grant Money To Help Pay For Crackdown On Cultivators In less than two years, the amount of marijuana seized in Santa Barbara County during raids of both indoor and outdoor illegal grow operations has increased nearly 350 percent, according to Sheriff’s Department data. With the majority of those busts coming during the summer months, when funding for such sweeps and arrests comes from the multi-agency CAMP (Campaign Against Marijuana Planting) program, the Sheriff’s Department recently applied for and, as of this week, received a state grant earmarked specifically to help find, raid, arrest, and prosecute illegal marijuana growers for the rest of the year.
