With USG support, the GOG completed construction of an anti-drug school to provide counternarcotics courses for the DOAN, other GOG institutions, and law enforcement officers in the region. The Public Ministry strengthened the office of the special prosecutor for narcotics, adding several assistant prosecutors and investigators. An antinarcotics hotline was established for people to report suspected drug activity. The DOAN routinely attacks drug trafficking transportation networks, coordinating closely with US law enforcement agencies and with regional partners in Central America. The DOAN has also successfully conducted its own investigations and arrests, without USG support or intelligence.
