GIS Applications of National Drug Threat Survey Data
Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Author(s): Philip Burkhart

The U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) produces strategic domestic drug intelligence to support national policy-makers and law enforcement officials. The National Drug Threat Survey (NDTS) serves as an instrument by which the NDIC surveys state and local law enforcement agencies in order to identify threats, trends, and patterns posed by illegal drug abuse, production, transportation, and distribution. Data from the NDTS is processed, analyzed, and presented in Esri's ArcInfo and ArcView to gain a greater understanding of spatial trends and patterns of the illicit drug market on a national scale.
