There were an estimated 1.8 million arrests for drug abuse violations in the United States in 2005. Law enforcement officials must constantly adapt to new situations, make greater use of intelligence, stay current with technology, and expand cooperation between agencies to be effective in their drug control efforts.

Law Enforcement

Effective law enforcement is essential for reducing drug-related crime in the United States.

Drug Courts

Drug courts have been an important step in diverting non-violent offenders with drug problems into treatment and other community resources.

Courts

Drug users and offenders are evaluated by attorneys and judges on a regular basis as they pass through U.S. courts.

Corrections

Many drug users and drug-related offenders enter correctional facilities across the country.

Drug Endangered Children

Innocent children are sometimes found in environments where methamphetamine and other illegal substances are produced. Children who live or visit these sites are exposed to a variety of health and safety risks. Around the country, Drug Endangered Children (DEC) programs have been developed to ensure that children found in these environments receive appropriate care.

High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area

The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program enhances and coordinates drug control efforts among local, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies. The program provides agencies with coordination, equipment, technology, and additional resources to combat drug trafficking and its harmful consequences in critical regions of the United States.
