Counter-Narcotics Police of Afghanistan

The Counter-Narcotics Police of Afghanistan is a specialized law enforcement agency responsible for combating drug production, trafficking, and related offenses. It works to dismantle drug laboratories, seize illegal substances, and arrest individuals involved in the narcotics trade, which has historically fueled violence and corruption in the country. The agency collaborates with international partners and other domestic security institutions to reduce Afghanistan’s illegal drug influence, particularly focusing on poppy cultivation, the primary source of opium. Its goal is to improve security, support lawful economy, and reduce the negative societal impacts associated with narcotics.
