In the early 1970s, it was clearly evident that drug trafficking and drug abuse, impacted all social and economic levels of American society. Any effort to curtail this epidemic need to be comprehensive and coordinated involving all levels of government, our social institutions, and our workplace. Cooperatively recognizing the need to coordinate drug enforcement efforts, eight Southeastern states joined to form the State Drug Enforcement Alliance in 1970, to meet three distinct needs: 1. To foster greater cooperation and coordination between member agencies by: The exchange of information The sharing of ideas and methods for detection and apprehension The development of legislative issues and effective legislation, and The support of parent, civic, and school efforts in drug education 2. To provide a mechanism for state drug enforcement input to federal-level policy, procedures, and operations through: The identification of national drug issues The development of clear and consistent policy for application and enforcement of federal drug control laws, and The development of coordination and cooperation with and between federal, state, and local drug enforcement. 3. To provide a forum for state law enforcement and command level personnel operationally involved in drug enforcement to exchange management and information.
