The East Helena Police Department will continue to be part of the Missouri River Drug Task Force. The East Helena City Council voted in favor 3-1 of the new memorandum at their January 20, 2026, meeting. The Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office is still part of the task force. In the past, MRDTF worked with Border Patrol, who were available for assistance in task force operations. Council member Wes Feist told MTN he was proud to vote to keep East Helena active in the task force.
