drug law enforcement

Drug law enforcement refers to the activities and strategies employed by government agencies to prevent drug-related crime and ensure compliance with drug laws. This includes investigating, apprehending, and prosecuting individuals or groups involved in the illegal drug trade.

Drug law enforcement also focuses on education and prevention efforts, aiming to mitigate the social and economic harms caused by illegal drugs while balancing the need for public safety and individual rights.
