The Gulf Coast HIDTA is a strategic law enforcement initiative located in Metairie, LA, that aims to combat drug trafficking organizations and reduce the availability of illicit drugs in its designated areas. Situated between major drug corridors along the Southwest Border and lucrative distribution markets along the East Coast and in the Midwest, the HIDTA plays a crucial role in targeting, disrupting, and eliminating drug trafficking activities through intelligence-driven task forces and collaborative efforts with participating law enforcement agencies.
With a mission to reduce the harmful consequences of illicit drug availability, the Gulf Coast HIDTA utilizes its extensive network of interstate highways, including I-10, I-20, and I-40, as primary corridors for drug transshipment. By maximizing the collaborative and cooperative efforts of its participating law enforcement agencies, the HIDTA envisions a significant reduction in drug availability within its six-state area, contributing to a safer and drug-free region.
