Company History
The Philadelphia-Camden High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (PCHIDTA) is a collaborative law enforcement program, funded through the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), part of the Executive Office of the White House. The PCHIDTA, comprised of more than 30 participating federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, enables a coordinated approach by law enforcement to combat drug trafficking, money laundering, drug-related violent crime and gang threats in the HIDTA-designated counties of Philadelphia, Chester and Delaware in Pennsylvania, and Camden in New Jersey.
By fostering collaborations among its over 250 participants through the establishment & funding of enforcement initiatives, and by providing support services, such as training, information technology, and intelligence analysis, the PCHIDTA has leveraged finite agency resources and engendered innovative approaches to drug law enforcement since 1995 in the Philadelphia region. Extending our services to the Lower Delaware Valley's law enforcement community, PCHIDTA provides its training, intelligence analysis and information sharing capabilities to agencies throughout the region.
The PCHIDTA is one of 28 HIDTAs designated by ONDCP around the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The goals of the National HIDTA Program are:
Goal 1: Disrupt the market for illegal drugs by dismantling or disrupting drug trafficking and/or money laundering organizations; and
Goal 2: Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of HIDTA initiatives.
