TBI WANTS METH SPECIFICS

Orders More Scientific Reports To Get Better Sense Of State Problem

NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's latest crime statistics
show slightly more than 2,700 amphetamine drug offenses for 2004, a number
officials there say is underreported.

"The reason we don't think the number of meth cases is completely accurate
is because that figure includes all amphetamines," TBI spokeswoman Jennifer
Johnson said. "A lot of the meth cases are worked by joint task forces, and
often each agency thinks the other agency reports it."
