In addition, the Posen Police Department participates in the DEA’s High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program (HIDTA). Membership in these units allows the department to bring the vast resources of these specialized units to our community. Members of the Posen police department assigned to these units also obtain specialized training. All members of the community are encouraged to contact the police department if they observe anything suspicious.
HIDTA – High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas
The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program (HIDTA) was authorized by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 and is administered by the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Since the original designation of five HIDTAs in 1990, the program has expanded to 31 areas of the country, including five partnerships along the southwest border. The DEA plays a very active role, and now has 282 special agent positions dedicated to the program. The 2000 HIDTA annual budget is projected to be $186 million.
The HIDTA’s mission is to reduce drug trafficking in the most critical areas of the country, thereby reducing its impact in other areas. This is accomplished by institutionalizing teamwork among local, state, and federal efforts; synchronizing investments in strategy-based systems; and focusing on outcomes.
