The Midwest HIDTA strengthens drug control efforts by forging partnerships among local, state, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies to facilitate information and intelligence sharing, cooperative investigations and joint operations designed to reduce drug trafficking and drug availability. Such efforts by the Midwest HIDTA support 61 initiatives including 44 drug task forces, six domestic highway interdiction programs, five intelligence initiatives, two prevention initiatives and three support initiatives.
