This book was released on 2002 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illegal drugs, primarily cocaine from countries in South America, continue to be a major threat to the health and well being of American citizens. One of the goals of the National Drug Control Strategy 1 is to protect America s air, land, and sea frontiers from the drug threat. To help achieve this goal, the United States has efforts under way to interdict illegal narcotics moving through the transit zone a 6 million square mile area that includes the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, Central America, the northern coast of South America, Mexico, and the Eastern Pacific. Drug interdiction efforts consist of several phases, including the detection and monitoring of potential drug-smuggling aircraft and vessels, and the seizure of drugs and arrest of drug smugglers. Within the transit zone, the Department of Defense (DOD), the U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard), and the U.S. Customs Service (Customs)play key roles in drug interdiction efforts.

Book excerpt: The Defense Department (DOD), the Coast Guard, and the Customs Service all interdict illegal drugs--primarily cocaine--from South America. DOD is the lead agency, but all three agencies play a role in monitoring and detecting shipments of illegal drugs. The Coast Guard is the lead agency for apprehending ships that are smuggling drugs, with Customs providing help as needed. The Coast Guard and Customs share responsibility for apprehending aircraft involved in drug-smuggling. GAO could not identify the funds obligated and the number of flight hours and ship days used for drug interdiction in the drug transit zone because the three agencies do not routinely track this information. The results tracked by the three agencies to demonstrate their effectiveness of their drug interdiction efforts in the transit zone varied according to whether they focused on drug seizures or results of detection and monitoring and whether they were specific to the transit zone. Agencies can use several controls to ensure the accuracy of their own cocaine seizure data, such as assigning unique identification numbers to each seizure and headquarters review of data from field units. Although two interagency data systems have been developed to ensure the accuracy of governmentwide cocaine seizure data when multiple agencies participate in a seizure, the two systems do not prevent agencies from counting cocaine seizures in their own databases and annual counts when more than one agency participates in the seizure.

Book excerpt: Each year, criminal organizations transport hundreds of tons of illegal drugs from South America to the U.S. through a 6 million square mile ¿transit zone¿ including Central America, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern Pacific Ocean. Since FY 2003, the U.S. has provided over $950 million to support counter-narcotics efforts in transit zone countries, which historically lacked the capacity to interdict drugs. This report examines: (1) how the U.S. has assisted transit zone countries in disrupting drug trafficking; and (2) what factors have impeded these efforts. Includes recommendations.

This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 105 of Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents, Narco-Terrorism, brings researchers up to date on U.S. and international efforts to stem terrorism related to drug trafficking. In the pages of this volume, readers will find both legal documents from criminal cases against narco-terrorists and governmental reports on how to approach the problem on a broader level. After showing recent trends in combating narco-terrorism globally, Volume 105 focuses on the rising drug crises in Colombia and Afghanistan. Researchers will find in this volume not just U.S. agencies' major reports on international drug-trafficking but also similarly comprehensive reports from international organizations, from NGOs to the U.N. These reports place a particular focus on the connection between terrorist activity and the global narcotics trade. The section on Colombia, while updating readers on the international struggle with that country's drug cartels, also includes an analysis of the political, diplomatic, and economic challenges in intervening there. The Afghanistan portion of the volume shows how the U.S. has tried to confront the heroin trade that has funded the Taliban there, including an example of how the U.S. government has used criminal prosecutions domestically to curb that trade.

Book excerpt: In Sept. 1999, the gov¿t. of Colombia announced a strategy, known as "Plan Colombia," to (1) reduce the production of illicit drugs (primarily cocaine) by 50% in 6 years; and (2) improve security in Colombia by re-claiming control of areas held by illegal armed groups. Since FY 2000, the U.S. has provided over $6 billion to support Plan Colombia.
