The HIDTA program aids local, state and federal law enforcement agencies operating in areas determined to be critical drug trafficking regions of the nation. The Warren County Drug Task Force was designated an initiative of the Ohio HIDTA in 2004. HIDTA assistance is granted through the Executive Office of the President of the United States, Office of National Drug Control Policy. HIDTA provides funding used by the Warren County Drug Task Force to better coordinate upper-level drug and money laundering investigations in our region and beyond. This funding can be used for overtime, equipment, necessary travel for investigations, and other important resources needed during these oftentimes long and complicated investigations.
The HIDTA program requires a collaborated local and federal effort to address drug trafficking related crimes. Below are current members of the Warren County Drug Task Force/Ohio HIDTA initiative supplying personnel to our Operation:
