Drug Threat Assessment: United States - Canada Border.

摘要

During the Fourth Canada-United States Cross-Border Crime Forum, held in Washington, D.C., in June 2000, it was agreed to undertake a joint assessment of the common threat posed by the cross-border drug trade. The enclosed report, United States-Canada Border Drug Threat Assessment, is the result of that agreement. Numerous agencies involved in fighting drugs participated in its preparation. The National Drug Intelligence Center was critical in the production of the final report. This assessment has confirmed that illicit drugs are being transported in both directions across the border to meet demand in both our countries. Its preparation has also served to highlight the importance of collecting and sharing data and intelligence on the drug problem to truly understand the magnitude of the threat posed by drugs. Effective strategic decision making depends on this.
