HIDTA supports over 20 law enforcement initiatives aimed at lowering drug-related crime and violence. More than 80 federal, state, and local agencies collaborate within these HIDTA-funded programs. Each initiative works closely with the HIDTA Investigative Support Center (ISC). Utilizing advanced law enforcement technology, the ISC gathers, analyzes, and shares information and intelligence concerning drug trafficking, money laundering, violence, gangs, and weapons trafficking to assist HIDTA initiatives and their partner agencies.

The emphasis of HIDTA is to bring law enforcement agencies together in an environment created to:

• Facilitate the dismantlement and disruption of major drug and money laundering organizations.

• Coordinate enforcement actions to ensure that limited enforcement resources are judiciously used to have the greatest impact on drug-related crime and violence.

• Provide timely, easily accessible information to support the investigation and prosecution of the region’s drug trafficking, firearms trafficking, money laundering organizations.
