narcotics interdiction

Narcotics interdiction refers to the efforts made by law enforcement and government agencies to prevent illegal drugs from being smuggled into a country or across borders. This involves monitoring and stopping drug shipments, conducting searches, and using intelligence to target traffickers. Interdiction is a crucial part of combating drug trafficking and reducing drug-related crime and addiction. It requires coordination between various agencies, including the police, customs, and sometimes the military, to effectively disrupt the drug supply chain and safeguard public health and safety.
