Amount requested: $3,000,000
The funding will be used to support interdiction and drug demand reduction activities by the Indiana National Guard. Lake County, Indiana was designated a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) in 1995 in order to fight the established “drug pipeline” running from Chicago to Detroit. The National Guard Counter Drug Program works in close partnership with the HIDTA to combat illegal narcotics. In 2008, six National Guardsmen assisted in a HIDTA case that resulted in $6.4 million in seizures. The Guard also provides drug education programs to 23 community based organizations and schools.
