IACP Works to Restore Assistance Funding for Meth lab Cleanup

摘要

Recently, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informed state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies that funding to assist in the cleanup of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories has been exhausted and, at this time, there is not an expectation of additional funding. The IACP has learned that if additional funding becomes available, the amount will be very small. However, the DEA has stated that any additional funding that may become available will be provided to those states that have hazardous waste container programs. Once that funding is expended, the DEA will no longer be able to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement with contractor support for hazardous waste removal from approved container programs or clandestine lab sites.
