Federal and State Drug Statutes PowerPoint

Unit 9 Assignment

Federal and State Drug Statutes PowerPoint

For this Assignment, you will be interviewing a law enforcement officer involved in drug law enforcement and creating a minimum 15-slide PowerPoint presentation (not including the cover and reference slides) covering federal and state statutes for drug trafficking.

Before your interview, research and identify both federal statutes and your state statutes that deal with drug trafficking, and have examples of the crimes and punishments that relate to cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana.

Then, identify a local, state, or federal law enforcement officer whose primary duty is drug law enforcement and ask questions related to whether or not your researched statutes are effective in terms of law enforcement efforts to decrease drug trafficking. Questions should include specific aspects of drug law enforcement in which the officer is engaged and any jurisdictional or cooperation issues the officer has encountered in enforcing the drug statutes.
