Past approaches that have relied only on police resources seem to be limited in their ability to achieve any of society's important goals in this domain. To reclaim neighborhoods now yielding to drug use, police must find ways to mobilize and use community opposition to drugs. Also, it is clear that successful approaches to the problem will rely on enlisting the assistance of other public agencies. The drug problem requires first-rate professional law enforcement. Quality arrests for drug offenses are an important part of all police strategies as is great investigative sophistication. Yet it is also true that drug trafficking and use represent a problem that must be addressed through remedies other than arrests and through agencies other than police such as neighborhood self-defense and drug treatment programs.
