Introduction In 1994, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) designated 13 jurisdictions in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Since that initial designation, the number of communities designated by ONDCP has more than doubled. Most recently, at the request of the W/B HIDTA Executive Board in 2015, ONDCP added Carroll County, MD and Jefferson County, WV. The W/B HIDTA now includes four major metropolitan areas, several sizable cities, many suburban areas, numerous small cities, and some traditionally rural areas in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Each of the 28 HIDTAs designated by the Director of ONDCP shares two very specific goals as they work to detect, disrupt, and dismantle organizations involved in the production, transportation, distribution, and consumption of illegal drugs in the United States. ONDCP requires each HIDTA to develop an annual strategic plan, including specific quantitative performance expectations, to address the following two goals. By engaging in both planning and performance management, the W/B HIDTA can ensure that its initiatives are targeting identified drug threats and responding to regional needs in an efficient and effective manner as it progresses towards these goals. In 2015, the W/B HIDTA funded 59 initiatives designed to address the drug threat in the W/B HIDTA region. The W/B HIDTA Executive Board, which is comprised of an equal number of senior federal and state/local representatives of law enforcement, drug treatment, and drug prevention agencies, reviewed and approved the design and funding for each of the initiatives. In 2015, 40 of the W/B HIDTA’s initiatives were Enforcement Initiatives that investigated drug traffickers and drug trafficking organizations. The W/B HIDTA also funded one Intelligence and Information Sharing Initiative, 11 Treatment Initiatives, three Prevention Initiatives, one Training Initiative, a Network Operations Center Initiative, a Technical Support Unit Initiative, and the PMP Project Initiative. A Management and Coordination Initiative provided the day-to-day management and administrative oversight and a Resource Initiative funded the rent and utilities for all initiatives.
