Drug-Law Enforcement Efforts There are two ways American law enforcement agencies have sought to control the supply of illicit drugs: intercepting them as they come into the country, and destroying them at their source in other countries. Drug enforcement is unlike most other types of police enforcement activities where generally a crime is committed and reported and the police investigate, gathering evidence and making their case. Although many state and local police agencies rely on federal help to train and establish their narcotics units, there is a notable absence of uniformity and coordination between the various levels of law enforcement agencies. www.drugtext.org /library/reports/fada/fada2.htm   (12197 words)

HEMP MYTHS & REALITIES Reality: It is the current refusal of the drug enforcement agencies to distinguish between an agricultural crop and a drug crop that is sending the wrong message to children.

Indeed, a recent conference held in Jefferson City, Missouri and sponsored by Drug Watch International and the Drug Enforcement Administration was entitled, "Marijuana: Myths, Concerns, Facts"-yet much of the discussion concerned industrial hemp and the legal products made from it. www.ecomall.com /greenshopping/hempm2.htm   (747 words)

BBC News Americas Targeting drug money laundering is wasteful An economist has told drug enforcement agencies at a conference in Mexico City that targeting money-laundering as a way of cracking down on drug trafficking is a waste of resources. Professor Peter Royte from the University of Maryland said the international drugs trade was much smaller than previously thought, with only about twenty-five-billion dollars flowing across international borders and needing laundering. The United States currently spends about thirty-five billion dollars a year on controlling the drugs problem - but most of this is directed towards choking off the supply. news.bbc.co.uk /1/low/world/americas/291602.stm   (117 words)

Australasian Centre for Policing Research The report also concludes that specialist drug law enforcement agencies experience considerable difficulties in uniquely defining and targeting major figures in the illicit drug trade and that as a result, their investigations and prosecutions often involve relatively minor offenders. One of the specific aims of drug law enforcement in Australia is the targeting of major as opposed to minor offenders. This report examines whether the reality of drug law enforcement in Australia is consistent with this aim. www.acpr.gov.au /compendium2.asp?Comp_ID=30   (136 words)

Drug Policy Alliance: Torture on Tennessee Soil The largest proportion of Byrne grant funding is used for regional narcotics task forces in which federal, state, and local drug law enforcement agencies and prosecutors coordinate their drug-fighting efforts. Siler's case exemplifies a pattern of controversial and corrupt practices by drug task forces across the country in the name of drug law enforcement.  The lack of oversight of these drug task forces not only enables abuse but also creates a lack of financial accountability. The Bush administration recently proposed to reduce funding for the Byrne grant program, but more work needs to be done to curb the power abuses of drug task forces - for Eugene Siler, whose quick-thinking wife was able to expose the torture he endured, and for others who may not have been so lucky. www.drugpolicy.org /news/022505tntorture.cfm   (380 words)

Yord Serk warned world experts to be wary of their hosts. When we talk about drug problems, there is always a connection or a relationship to the ethnic problems [from the drug problem], you will have no way to solve both these problems.
