Few efforts are as important as law enforcement in controlling drug use and related crime.
Key priorities for domestic law enforcement are the disruption and dismantling of drug trafficking organizations, including seizure of their assets, and the investigation, arrest, and prosecution and imprisonment of drug traffickers. The international strategy maintains interdiction as an important component and emphasizes the United States' pursuit of cooperative efforts with other nations, that possess the political will to defeat international drug syndicates, in building their institutions, attacking drug production facilities, interdicting drug shipments in both source and transit countries, and dismantling drug trafficking organizations.
