He is involved in longterm enforcement projects, as well. “A lot of our work goes unnoticed,” Cleveland said. “We do a lot of undercover work.” The state excise police are a separate agency from the Indiana State Police.

Unwanted vehicles recycled by youth club Gifts of unwanted vehicles are now beginning to come in to the “Cars for Boys & Girls Club” campaign running throughout Indiana. In a program designed to raise funds for agencies, arrangements have been made to pick up cars anywhere in Indiana. Anyone interested in donating a car is invited to call 1-800-246-0493. The Boys and Girls Clubs will tow the car free of charge. The 800 number can be called at any time. Pick up of the vehicle will be in just a few days. Not only do the Boys and Girls Clubs benefit, the person donating the car gets rid of an unwanted vehicle, and may also claim a tax deduction for making a charitable contribution. The environment is helped by ridding the area of unsightly polluting cars. Everyone benefits!
