The National Drug Enforcement Policy Board, chaired by the Attorney General and composed of representatives of Federal agencies involved in reducing the supply of and demand for illegal drugs, reviews, evaluates, and develops U.S. policy, strategy, and resources for U.S. drug law enforcement. It also coordinates the drug enforcement operations of Federal agencies and departments. This book presents the board's threat assessment for cocaine, heroin, cannabis, and 'dangerous' drugs (other illegal drugs). The board's strategy for strategic, tactical, and operational intelligence is also presented. The board's strategy for international drug control focuses on cooperation with other nations to stop the flow of drugs as close to the source as possible. The strategy for interdiction and border control is intended to reduce the amount of illegal drugs entering the United States by intercepting drug shipments. The strategy of investigation and prosecution is to immobilize drug trafficking by incarcerating traffickers, seizing drugs, obtaining asset forfeitures, and deporting aliens who are organization principals. The objectives of the diversion control and analogue strategy are to control the diversion of licit drugs from legitimate distribution networks and from clandestine drug production. Appendixes discuss agency roles, summarize Federal drug control resources, and present the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986.
