NNOAC Insight -- HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREA FUNDING

The National Narcotic Officers Associations Coalition strongly supports the funding and continued congressional support for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Program (HIDTA), within the Office of National Drug Control Policy.  In 1988, Congress initiated an effort to aid federal, state and local law enforcement by establishing the HIDTA program as a means of providing coordination of enforcement efforts in critical regions of the country.  This coordinated effort was critical due to competing strategies within the federal, state, and local law enforcement community.
