APPROXIMATE HOURS PER WEEK (15-20)

The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) Program is the centerpiece of the Department of Justice's counter-narcotics strategy. As a platform for cooperative, coordinated law enforcement, OCDETF leverages the resources and expertise of its seven federal law enforcement agency members – the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA); the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS); the Internal Revenue Service (IRS); the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) – to reduce the supply of illegal drugs in the United States and diminish the violence and other criminal activity associated with the drug trade. The integrated involvement of attorneys from the 94 U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division ensures that OCDETF prosecutions are well-prepared, comprehensively charged, and expertly handled.
