The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Detroit Field Division is committed to providing the very best anti-narcotic training, not only to DEA personnel, but also to the State and Local law enforcement officers throughout Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. Every year the DEA Detroit Field Division presents a variety of training courses, the most prominent being the DEA Narcotic Investigator’s Course. This two-week program is designed for police officers new to drug law enforcement, as a refresher for officers returning to drug enforcement, or those wishing to enhance their skills to expand investigations. The attendee will be given current and relevant information in a variety of topics, including: Drug Identification; Surveillance Techniques; Interview and Interrogation; Raid Planning and Execution; Asset Forfeiture; Undercover Techniques; Informant Management, Conspiracy Law and Investigations; Financial Investigations; Telephone Exploitation; Diversion Investigations; Clandestine Laboratory Safety and Investigation; Pharmacology; and Intelligence. In addition, the DEA Detroit Field Division presents an assortment of other programs within Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. We can develop a program to address the particular needs of the narcotics officers in your agency.

If you are interested in attending any of these programs, please complete a Course Registration Form and submit it to Division Training Coordinator (DTC) Gary Hopkins. If you have any questions, or want to discuss your agency’s training needs, DTC Hopkins can be reached at 313-234-4100, or via e-mail at Lloyd.G.Hopkins@usdoj.gov. If your agency has the need to train several officers at once, please contact DTC Hopkins to discuss hosting a program in your area. Narcotics traffickers are always changing their methods to continue making profits by distributing drugs. If we are to be effective in disrupting these organizations we need to not only stay abreast of current trends, but we also need to continue working together and sharing resources. It is only through this cooperation that we can provide the quality of service that our citizens demand and deserve.
