MOTEL/HOTEL NARCOTICS INVESTIGATION
MORE THAN JUST INTERDICTION

Over the past decade, there has been a continued increase in the amount of illegal narcotics being distributed throughout the United States. All agencies involved in the enforcement of the distribution of narcotics have implemented various techniques and strategies to combat the influx of these drugs into their communities. Whether these illegal narcotics are imported through New York, Miami or Mexico, they are passing through numerous jurisdictions to reach their destination. The motel/hotel narcotics enforcement program is just another technique that will hopefully reduce the availability of narcotics within your community. This program will also significantly increase the seizure of narcotics, monies and other assets.
