INTERAGENCY
CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT | |||||||||||||||||
Program Description OCDETF was created in 1982 to mount a comprehensive attack against high-level drug trafficking and related criminal enterprises, including large-scale money laundering organizations, in order to destroy and dismantle these criminal enterprises. The OCDETF program combines the drug enforcement expertise of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), United States Marshals Service (USMS), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CID), United States Customs Service (USCS), and the United States Coast Guard Investigative Service (USCG-IS), with that of the 94 U.S. Attorneys, and the Department of Justice Criminal and Tax Divisions. Since its inception, it has become the model for coordinated counterdrug efforts in federal law enforcement. OCDETF investigations, by definition, are conducted by more than one investigative agency, one of which must be an OCDETF federal partner. The OCDETF program is the centerpiece of the Attorney General's drug strategy to reduce the availability of drugs. As the only task force with nationwide reach that combines the talent of experienced federal agents and prosecutors with support from state and local law enforcement, OCDETF is uniquely positioned to conduct multiple, coordinated investigations across the country to root out and eliminate all pieces of a drug organization. Effective implementation of the Attorney General's drug strategy relies on targeting our largest drug supply networks by dismantling their entire infrastructure, from international supply through national transportation cells to regional and local distribution organizations. The objective is to curtail the availability of drugs through the disruption and dismantlement of drug trafficking organizations, forfeiting illegal proceeds and destroying their economic underpinnings at the national and international levels. | |||||||||||||||||

Special Operations Division Generated Wiretap Investigations | 66 | 33 | $14,774 | ||||||||||||||
The Department of Justice is requesting 66 positions (35 agents and 6 attorneys), 33 workyears, and $14,774,000 to enhance OCDETF's capability to conduct complex, multi-district investigations developed from Special Operations Division (SOD) intelligence and coordination, in order to target and dismantle our nation's most significant drug trafficking organizations. The request includes: 1) 58 positions (35 agents) and $6,050,000 for critical DEA field office staffing in those areas of the country with the largest drug supply (e.g., Southwest Border, Florida, Caribbean) in order to conduct multi-district electronic surveillance investigations against the leadership level of OCDETF targets developed through SOD-intelligence; 2) 8 positions (6 attorneys) and $724,000 to establish an electronic surveillance tactical support group consisting of attorneys and paralegals that can be sent on short-term deployments to U.S. Attorney offices that require assistance in conducting electronic surveillance in OCDETF investigations; 3) $8,000,000 to provide resources to fund state and local overtime in order to pursue OCDETF wiretap investigations coordinated by SOD. Currently, overtime funds for state and local overtime comes from the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund (AFF). However, due to consistently declining AFF receipts, OCDETF risks losing all state and local overtime funding in the next several years. | |||||||||||||||||
