Interdiction

Interdiction is a law enforcement strategy aimed at stopping illegal activities before they reach their target, such as drugs, weapons, or contraband. It involves intercepting these items during transportation—like at borders, airports, or transit routes—to prevent them from entering communities or markets. Think of it as a security checkpoint designed to disrupt illegal trades, protect public safety, and uphold legal boundaries. Effective interdiction requires coordination, intelligence, and resource allocation to identify, intercept, and confiscate illegal goods early in their journey.
