G.2: Drug Trafficking
Reduce the impact drug trafficking criminal enterprises have on the United States. Other Information:
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is the U.S. Government’s primary investigative agency to combat drug trafficking.
The FBI also has an important role to play, but seeks to complement DEA’s efforts through an integrated approach. This strategy
is essential in order to maximize our impact. The FBI will increasingly leverage its investigative resources by combining
forces with DEA and state and local law enforcement agencies through joint efforts such as the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement
Task Force (OCDETF) and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) initiatives. Through implementation of the National Intelligence
Program, the FBI will provide DEA, the Intelligence Community, DHS, and state and local law enforcement agencies, with intelligence
and other information needed to combat drug trafficking at all levels. Priority Actions: Expand the intelligence base on significant
drug trafficking organizations. Increase the co-location of FBI drug investigative resources with the DEA. Increase the use
of the Special Operations Division and other specialized drug intelligence resources to identify and target the most significant
drug trafficking criminal enterprises in cooperation with our partners. Increase participation in OCDETF task forces, HIDTA
initiatives, and joint investigative operations with the DEA and state and local anti-drug units to maximize resources, expertise,
and impact.
