🚨 Chairman Comer speaks in favor of the ONDCP Policy Reauthorization Act of 2024
“We have a drug overdose crisis in this country. It is unacceptable and intolerable…
“The Office of National Drug Control Policy, or ONDCP, was established in the Executive Office of the President with the specific mission to coordinate the government-wide resources to combat the loss of life and human misery caused by illicit narcotics and overdoses.
“This bill, the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2024, will reauthorize ONDCP and two critical grant programs the office administers at current spending levels for the next seven years.
“Specifically, the bill will reauthorize the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program—which helps local law enforcement coordinate efforts to take down drug traffickers—and the Drug Free Communities program—which works in communities across the country to prevent young people from ever trying drugs in the first place.”
Honored to share the stage w/our federal, state & local public safety partners today to announce a huge takedown of forty individuals spanning four separate drug organizations. This is another example that if you choose to cause havoc in our city you better bring your toothbrush

The work we do to combat drug trafficking is critical. The Administration is making a significant investment in our work, particularly the work of the W/B HIDTA and our ODMAP program - https://t.co/dMf8KR1aTN
This is what we are up against - Drug traffickers care about their bottom line, not the community, and certainly not our children. With a record number of overdose deaths we must continue to fight - https://t.co/Ip8UWIJN77
Pleased to announce that we will once again be encouraging partners to apply for our Combatting Overdose Through Community Level Intervention (COCLI) grant - https://t.co/KBZlSnY2RO
