Drug enforcement agencies

Drug enforcement agencies are government organizations responsible for preventing illegal drug manufacturing, distribution, and trafficking. They investigate offenses, seize illegal substances, and arrest those involved to uphold public safety and health. These agencies also work to disrupt drug networks, gather intelligence, and collaborate with other law enforcement bodies both locally and internationally. Their goal is to reduce drug-related crime, addiction, and violence, ensuring communities remain safe and healthy. Examples include the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) in the U.S., which plays a key role in enforcing drug laws and fighting drug-related crime nationwide.
