National Alliance of State Drug Enforcement Agencies (NASDEA)

The National Alliance for State Drug Enforcement Agencies (NASDEA) organizes biannual conferences, typically in Spring and Fall, to bring together state law enforcement agencies from across the nation. These conferences provide a forum for agency heads and command-level personnel involved in drug enforcement to collaborate on best practices, exchange management information, and share ideas for developing responsible drug enforcement policies and procedures. Attendees gain diverse perspectives, showcase their organizations, and learn different ways to protect their communities. The conferences also aim to foster greater cooperation and coordination, provide state drug enforcement input at the federal level, and assist in securing improved capabilities in information exchange, detection, apprehension of drug violators, and legislative development.
