HIDTA Program Mission
|
| To
enhance and coordinate America's drug-control efforts among

About
HIDTA
The
High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program was created
by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. This act authorized the Director
of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to designate
regions within the United States that face drug trafficking threats
affecting other areas of the nation as HIDTAs.
The
HIDTA Program provides resources to assist each HIDTA in developing
and implementing a strategy to address its regional drug threat.
Each HIDTA strives to create partnerships between federal, state
and local law enforcement agencies and promote a coordinated, intelligence
driven response to its drug trafficking problems.
For
more information about the HIDTA Program or HIDTAs in other areas
of the country, please visit ONDCP's High Intensity Drug Trafficking
Areas page at: http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/hidta/index.html.
