SEN. DOLE WANTS MORE MONEY TO FIGHT DRUG TRAFFICKING

WASHINGTON - Drug task force offices in North Carolina could be 
turned into High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) offices 
under a proposal from U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C.

"No one can dispute that North Carolina has been hit hard by an 
increase in drug trafficking," said Dole in a letter to John P. 
Walters, Director of the Office of National Drug Policy. Advertisement

Converting the existing drug task force offices would bring increased 
funding, administrative support, computer equipment and officer overtime pay.

The North Carolina drug task force offices are operated by the Drug 
Enforcement Administration and FBI.
